Q. How do I use the BYOD docking monitors?

The BYOD docking monitor service allows the use of a second display, external keyboard and external mouse by connecting just one cable from the dock to your laptop or other compatible device.

To use the dock, plug in the USB-C cable from the dock to your device.

If you need help configuring multiple displays, use the link for your operating system below:

• Mac - use the drop down on the top left to switch between MacOS versions
• Windows 10 & 11 - use the tab to switch between Windows versions

You'll be able to:

• use your device alongside a large computer monitor to work more effectively
• improve ergonomics by working with a larger screen
• charge your device

The BYOD docking monitors are located at:

• Wollongong Campus Library
  • Level 1 near the staff lift (South wall)
  • Ground floor across from study room GS4 (South wall)
  • Law Collection (along the West wall)
  • Postgraduate space
• Shoalhaven Campus Library
  • Study desks
  • 24 hour computer lab

NOTE: If you have an older laptop without a USB-C connection, you can use the HDMI cable which allows you to use the screen, but not the keyboard and mouse. The HDMI cable does not charge devices. 

If you have a more powerful laptop, you may need to use the HDMI cable instead of the USB-C which may not provide enough power.
