UWC Student Resources
To facilitate online learning and teaching the following resources have been made available to registered students only:
- Virtual Private Network (VPN) – VPN provides a mechanism whereby a computer outside of the university’s trusted network can securely access the University’s resources which are normally only available on campus. Students will not pay for data when using the VPN services. The VPN service is FREE! with no data cost to UWC students (iamuwc.uwc.ac.za).
- Laptops – Registered students may procure a laptop via the University. You will need to confirm that you would like to receive a laptop and that you are prepared to have the cost of the laptop added to your student account.
- Data will be provided to students based on need. Registered students are requested to use the VPN service should their data get depleted or not loaded timeously.
Students will need to have a data connection to either Vodacom, MTN, Cell C or Telkom in order to access the VPN. The links to these services will be provided to you upon completion of your registration.
