Other students:
- Off shore students (those enrolled in Deakin University courses through overseas teaching partners), have access to Deakin University Library online services and collections (subject to license restrictions). Items are not mailed to off shore students. If as an off shore students you come on campus as part of your studies, then you may borrow in person during that period (as for your category in the Borrowing Table below).
- External students (students who live outside Australia and who are studying for a Deakin masters qualification). The resources available to you are that you can search the Library's catalogue and online journals, e-readings and full-text databases. As postgraduate students at Deakin, you may also request a letter of introduction requesting borrowing privileges at local libraries. Items from Deakin University Library are not mailed to you.

Non award students have the privileges and responsibilities of a student at Deakin, and have access to the same Library services and resources, except that items will not be sent to students residing overseas, and Interlibrary Loan and BONUS+ are not available.
- MIBT students have many of the same privileges and responsibilites as Deakin University students except that there are some restrictions on access to electronic resources, borrowing of DVDs, videos, non MIBT course material, and equipment. See the Borrowing Table below for more information.
