Deakin University username and password

Username and password

You can only set up your Deakin University username and password from 20 February 2026.

Your Deakin University username and password are different from your Deakin College username and password. You will need both sets of login details for your studies.

You will need a Deakin University username and password to use on-campus computers and access some Deakin University online services.

To set up your Deakin University username and password, you will need your:

Deakin College Student ID (see Step 2 below)
Course code (see Step 2 below)

Follow these instructions

Step 1: Check your course code

Your Student ID number is your Deakin College ID, which can be found in your Letter of Offer in the top right-hand corner. It will be either 7 numbers starting with a 5 (eg. 503—-) or an alphabetical and numerical combination (eg. TOBRET1201).

The course codes are as follows:

X088     Foundation Program
X089     Diploma of Business
X081 Diploma of Commerce
X084     Diploma of Health Sciences
X090    Diploma of Communication
X097     Diploma of Design
X098     Diploma of Film, Television and Animation
X099     Diploma of Information Technology
X087     Diploma of Science
X085     Diploma of Engineering

Step 2: Activate your account

Open the activation page (after 20 February 2026)

If successful, you’ll be presented with your Deakin University username and Deakin University email address. These are different from your Deakin College ones.

If unsuccessful, please check the details you have entered. There should be a message that the course code or birthdate do not match and that you must re-enter the details. If you receive a message that the student ID could not be found, firstly please check there are no spaces before or after the student ID. If the student ID still cannot be found, please email dcoll-ithelp@deakin.edu.au for assistance.
