Computing Resources

All Law students studying at Murdoch have their computer account enabled for the Clayton Utz Computer Laboratory, located in room LAW1.110 on level 1 of the Law building (opposite the Law Café), and the Blake Dawson Waldron Computer Laboratory, located in room LAW2.116 on level 2 of the new Law building.

Access to the computers is free, however printing in the laboratories is charged at a rate of 11 cents per page (inc. GST). Student accounts are activated two (2) weeks before the start of semester.

Your account name, or 'username', is your student number.

Your password is your MAIS PIN.

If you would like to be able to print in the labs, please pay the University Cashier (minimum $5 inc. GST) located in the Chancellery building, and present your receipt to the Library IT Help Desk just inside the main library entrance to have your printing account credited.
