Enrol for the first time

Once you’ve gathered the required information and planned your enrolment, it’s time to accept your course offer and officially enrol at Deakin.

We’ve outlined the steps below – working through them should take you about 30 minutes.

Make sure you have the following items on hand before you start:

The Handbook entry and course map for your course, along with your specific unit selections and their course codes for your first year of study.
Your Tax File Number (TFN) if you are a domestic student and intend to access any Government HELP loans for your fees.
Your Unique Student Identifier (USI).

StudentConnect

All Deakin students complete the accept and enrol process in StudentConnect. StudentConnect is an online system that manages your personal and enrolment details. During your study, it’s where you can change your enrolment by adding or withdrawing from units, check and pay your fees, and view your exam timetable and results. Once you’ve enrolled, you can access StudentConnect from DeakinSync.

The steps to accept and enrol in StudentConnect will be slightly different depending on the type of student you are and the course you’re enrolling in, but in general there are three compulsory sections to complete:

agreeing to the terms and conditions of enrolment at Deakin
confirming your contact details (as well as inputting your TFN and USI if necessary) and
completing your unit selections.

It’s important that you complete all these steps to confirm your enrolment and receive a receipt number at the end for your enrolment to be valid.
