Join your on-campus enrolment session or login and enrol in your units

We highly recommend you join us for your on-campus enrolment session during Orientation Week.

If you can't make it to your session and want to enrol yourself, use Chrome or Firefox on a laptop or desktop computer, not your mobile.

If you are a domestic student who plans to study online, please complete the  Domestic Online Study Request Form. You do not need to complete this step to enrol yourself. 

If you are an international student, please do not enrol until you are in Australia.

Step 5

Complete the Study Skills Assessment

This activity will help us understand what you might find difficult in your studies at the College and how we can help you be successful.

Step 6

Join Orientation

Orientation is the beginning of your journey at Deakin. It introduces you to your new life as a Deakin College student. It all starts the week before your classes begin and is packed full of useful online information sessions and activities.

Step 7

Set up your Deakin University username and password

You will need to obtain a Deakin University password to use the computers on-campus, in the computer labs and to access Deakin University’s online services. You can set up your username and password after 19 October 2023.

Step 8

Set up your Deakin College email

It’s important to set up your student email because we use it to send you important information during your time at Deakin College. You can access your Deakin College email account using the 'Email' tile on the Student Portal.  Your email address will be studentID@learning.deakincollege.edu.au

Step 9

Get your student ID card

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 as proof for on campus security that you are a student and also for ID at exams.

Step 10

Start classes

Classes commence on Monday 23 October 2023. If you’re having trouble viewing your timetable, setting up your email or contacting your teachers, watch our ‘How To’ videos.

All your class information and booklist can be found on Moodle.
