Student testimonials
'The DRC made me feel heard and gave me the same opportunity as everyone – they were always there for any kind of support.'
'This is the first full semester I have completed with my Access Plan. I don't know how I did it without this extra help. No wonder I struggled and was completely burnt out. Though, I obviously still worked really hard this semester. But between now being on meds and Deakin's assistance, I felt I gained so much more learning. My lecturers were amazing and supported me with any questions I had with my comprehension of assignment instructions.'
‘The DRC was very quick to implement my program and coordinate with my course directors regarding the modifications that were being applied to my learning. It was very easy and it was very reassuring to finally be heard. I have never had a learning plan before and am thankful that Deakin supported me.’
'The DRC officers are really nice, I feel safe speaking to my officer. Having disability access is just amazing in itself, keep up the good work and thank you so much. I am really glad I chose Deakin.'
