You can set up your Deakin University username and password after 19 June 2025. This is different to your Deakin College username and password.
You will need to obtain a Deakin University password to use the computers on campus and in the computer labs, and to access Deakin University’s online services, including the library. You will also need this to submit online assessments.
Watch how to access your Deakin College email account then access it using the ‘Email’ tile on the Student Portal. Your email address will be studentID@learning.deakincollege.edu.au and your account will be activated by Orientation Week.

Once you have set up your Deakin Username and Password you can apply for a student ID card. You will need a student ID card for on-campus security and as ID at exams.
Classes commence on Monday 23 June 2025. If you’re having trouble viewing your timetable, using the Student Portal, setting up your email or contacting your teachers, visit our Study Skills Moodle page.
All your class information and booklist can also be found on Moodle, as well as information about accessing the library.
