Building closures and network upgrades

We’ve got some important updates to share about your campus experience.

What’s happening?

Our IT team has been working hard to upgrade the campus network. These upgrades are all about:

  • Boosting internet speed and performance ⚡
  • Keeping your connection safe and secure 🔐

During the upgrade work, there will be temporary network outages in some buildings and some buildings will be closed.

The impact on you:

  • The upgrade work will be outside of the Final Assessment period, meaning no buildings will be closed during this time.
  • If you are on campus and a building is impacted, consider moving to another building on campus with working Wi-Fi or; 
  • You can access the La Trobe network remotely.
