DUSA off campus
Studying as an off-campus student can be very daunting. Off-campus students often have to juggle work and family commitments with study and finding time for themselves. Added to this mix they also have to contend with isolation and often a sense of loneliness.
So how do you cope with all of this? DUSA Distance Campus offers a range of services to assist you while at Deakin. The website is your one-stop-shop for all your off-campus needs. Whether you want to join a study group, chat using our IM chat, find out what’s on, check out our publications or just generally 'chill out' the website has it all for you. It's as easy as using your Deakin email to sign up, create your own password and off you go!
'Off in the Distance' is an online magazine which is compiled by distance students to keep you up-to-date with what’s happening on and off campus. It also contains student stories, photos, study tips and important information for you as an off-campus student. All 'Off in the Distance' issues can be found on the Distance website.
