Student ID card (DeakinCard)

Your student ID card is your Deakin Card

Your student ID card, known as your Deakin Card, is your passport to many services at Deakin University. As well as being an essential form of ID, it allows you to avoid carrying loose change on campus. Load money onto your card and it can be used to pay for goods and services across campus, including computer lab printing, library printing, photocopying and microfiche copying, and items from most on-campus retail outlets and some vending machines.

The Deakin Card web site

Check the Deakin Card web site www.deakin.edu.au/deakincard/ for information on where and how you can use your Deakin Card, as well as special offers and the latest news. You can also use the web site to manage your account online, check your balance, get your transaction history and report (and inactivate) your card if it is lost or stolen.

Terms and conditions

When you collect your card, you will receive an important pamphlet called Deakin Card: disclosure document user guide and terms and conditions for stored-value use. If you lose the pamphlet, don’t worry, all the information is listed on our web site www.deakin.edu.au/deakincard/

Your parents can load money onto your Deakin Card too!
