Blurred shot of students on campus

27 February 2021

Excited about coming to campus? We’re ready for you!

As Trimester 1 gets ever closer, we have a confession to make: we’re a teeny bit excited!

As you walk around campus, there’s a feeling of anticipation and new beginnings in the air. Our staff, peer mentors and ambassadors are ready and waiting and can’t wait to see you on campus.

So whether you’re a commencing student in 2021, or you studied online last year, we’re looking forward to all students being able to enjoy a vibrant campus experience this trimester.

Now, let’s talk logistics: what’s going to be open and when; and how to make the most of the many on-campus facilities and opportunities.

Before you leave home

The current risk of community transition is low, however, it’s essential that we continue to take the COVID situation seriously. So it’s important you complete your COVIDSafe learning module before your first visit to campus. This will help to ensure the wellbeing of the whole Deakin community – and it only takes about 15 minutes.

And remember to always carry a mask with you while you’re on campus – keep it with your phone or keys so you don’t forget it!

Check out the video below for some useful info about how to stay COVIDSafe on campus, and where you can find help should you need it.

Getting here

There’s a range of ways to travel to and from campus.

Once you’ve made it to campus, don’t forget to check in to each space you’ll be in for more than 15 minutes

Getting around campus

If you’ve never been to campus before, the best thing you can do to find your feet is to take a guided campus tour. Running in OWeek and Week 1, the tours will go for about 20 minutes, be led by our friendly Orientation Ambassadors (they’re the ones in the bright pink t-shirts!), and be totally COVIDSafe.

If you’re a returning student but haven’t been to campus in a while, take a tour to reorient yourself and to check out some of the amazing new facilities that have been completed over the last year, including Building LC at Burwood Campus.

You must register to attend a tour and check-in before it starts:

Oh, and one more thing: we’re giving away a UE Wonderboom speaker to three lucky students who complete a campus tour. Full competition info and T&Cs are available when you register.

What to check out

There are heaps of spaces to check out while you’re on campus, so get to know some of the spots where you may hang out, study and relax on a regular basis:
