All academic areas and student residences are networked to the central computing facilities. A permanent Internet connection is maintained using DDS through Hunterlink/Pacific Internet.

These computer laboratories contain 51 IBM compatible computers. Student access to these laboratories averages 10-12 hours per day, 5.5 days per week. In addition, eighteen computers are available 24 hours per day in the residence halls.
Students have the use of eighteen computers in the Library (eleven with internet access), as well as eight catalogue-only computers with access to the UNILINC system.
There are also specialist computer laboratories in the Faculty of Lifestyle Education and Visual Communication (for Graphic Design, CAD and CNC), the Faculty of Arts (for radio production, video production, and music composition), and the Faculty of Science and Mathematics.
