Who should enrol?
- All students who are wishing to study during 2013.
- If you are anticipating an offer in another course within Deakin University/other institution you should still enrol in your first offer. (Refer to question below.)
- If you wish to commence study in Trimester 2 2013 you need to contact someone on the contact list below to assist you to intermit your course for Trimester 1 2013, and help you enrol for Trimester 2 2013. (Note: students that wish to intermit should seek course advice on the effect of mid-year commencement on the duration of your course and the type of subjects that can be chosen.)
What should I do if I enrolled in my first offer, but I receive another offer in another course within Deakin University/other institution?
It is your responsibility to withdraw from your first offer. Contact someone on the contact list to assist you. You will need to tell them that you have taken an offer in another course, and you wish to withdraw from your first offer. It's very important that you withdraw from the first course you enrolled in, otherwise you may be liable for outstanding fees.
Deadline to withdraw from your course is 31 March 2013.
What is the deadline to enrol?

What do I need to do after I enrol?
After enrolling you need to attend to the following tasks to ensure that you are set up for study in 2013.

- Find out what books you need to buy
- Start looking at information for your first trimester units via CloudDeakin

STAR (Student Timetable Allocation and Registration)
Student Timetable Allocation and Registration (STAR) is Deakin University's personalised timetabling system that allows students enrolled in on-campus units to register online for activity groups including lectures, tutorials, seminars etc. (Note: off-campus and online units do not have classes scheduled and therefore will not appear on the STAR system.)
You can access STAR via the StudentConnect website. (Use the same username and password you used to enrol.)
Books
The DUSA Bookshop is your bookstore at Deakin University campuses in Burwood, Geelong Waterfront and Warrnambool. The bookstores stock textbooks, reference books, Deakin course materials, general books, stationery and gifts. You can check if there are any recommended books for you to buy by searching the 'Student Booklist' section on the DUSA bookshop website.
CloudDeakin
CloudDeakin is Deakin's virtual learning environment and is central to the Deakin learning experience. CloudDeakin is used to deliver web-based course material, assessment tasks and facilitate communication and collaboration between staff and students. Access CloudDeakin from the Students website using your username and password. All unit you have enrolled in will be visible to you.
O Week
Deakin's Orientation program is designed specifically for all new students and helps you make a great start to university life. You are strongly encouraged to attend O Week as it is packed with activities that will enable you to meet other students and staff, become familiar with your campus and services available, and learn more about your course.
