At the end of 2019 when the Council of Stellenbosch University approved the budget for 2020, it included the introduction to a a new internet model. This decision led to a phasing out process of Inetkey – the tool used to track and account for the internet usage of staff and students. Although Inetkey still had to be used to gain access to the Internet, students were no longer charged for internet usage. Charging of staff usage was temporarily suspended for 2020.
However, the idea of “free” internet was only applicable to internet for students to ensure access to complete their studies effectively. Payment for Internet for staff still has to paid for by departments. The Finance Committee decided to levy an annual, once-off fee and for 2021 a once-off fee of R674.00 (R57.83 per month) was agreed on.
From this year the annual internet fee will be included in the network registration fee which includes the renewal of usernames. All staff usernames expire at the end of March and staff annually have to reactivated online.
Currently the cost registration of a username on the network is as follows:
Internet fee: R674.00
Network/username fee: R287.00
Total: R961.00
Please take note that the internet fee is only levied on the “primary username”. If you have more than one username linked to your SU number, the internet fee will only be levied once. (For example generic departmental usernames).
For enquiries regarding the reactivation of usernames, please log a request on the ICT Partner Portal or refer to our service catalogue for more information
Enquiries regarding the internet fee can be directed to the Finance Department.

Aan die einde van 2019 het die US Raad saam met die jaarlikse begroting, ook ʼn nuwe internetmodel goedgekeur. Hierdie besluit het gelei tot die uitfasering van Inetkey – die programmatuur wat gebruik is om rekord te hou van internetverbruik en die verhaling van kostes. Alhoewel Inetkey steeds nodig was vir toegang tot die Internet is studente nie meer gedebiteer vir internetverbruik nie. Verhaling van personeel se internetverbruik is ook tydelik opgeskort tydens 2020.
Die konsep van “gratis” internet was egter net van toepassing op studente om te verseker dat hulle toegang het tot die nodige bronne om hulle studies effektief te kan voltooi. Internettoegang vir personeel moet steeds deur die toepaslike departemente en afdelings betaal word. Die Finansies-komitee het besluit op die heffing van ʼn jaarlikse fooi en op R674.00 (R57.83 per maand) vir 2021.
Vanaf 2021 sal die jaarlikse internetfooi ingesluit word by die netwerkregistrasiefooi wat die heraktivering van gebruikersname insluit. Alle personeel se gebruikersname verval aan die einde van Maart en moet jaarliks aanlyn heraktiveer word.
Tans is die jaarlikse koste van die ʼn gebruikersnaam op die netwerk as volg:
Internetfooi: R674.00
Netwerk/gebruikersnaam fooi: R287.00
Totaal: R961.00
Neem kennis dat die internetfooi slegs gehef word vir die “primêre gebruikersnaam”. Indien jy meer as een gebruikersnaam aan jou US-nommer gekoppel het, sal die internetfooi slegs eenmaal gehef word. (Byvoorbeeld in die geval van generiese departementele gebruikersname.)
Vir navrae oor die heraktivering van gebruikersname , teken asseblief ʼn versoek aan op die ICT Partner Portal of raadpleeg die dienskatalogus.
Navrae in verband met die internetfooi kan gerig word aan Afdeling Finansies.
