An ANU spokesman confirmed seven laptops were stolen from the Ethel Troy Computer Laboratory on Sunday night.
ACT Policing officers and a forensics team spent most of Monday morning at the university after the laptops were reported missing about 8am.
A spokesman couldn't comment further on the incident and said police were still investigating.
Police reviewed CCTV footage after thieves stole 22 Apple MacBooks worth an estimated $30,000 from the same building in March.
They said at the time there were no signs of a break-in.
The thefts come after the University of Canberra warned students and staff to take personal safety measures after a spate of robberies and hold-ups on campus.
Vice-President of Operations Dr Philip Harvey wrote a university-wide alert last week to urge caution as ACT police investigated the spike in crime.
Half a dozen "significant" cases of building break-ins, theft, people being held up and damage to cars have been reported at the Belconnen campus in recent weeks.
Less than a week later, a woman was assaulted on the ANU campus.
