After six years, it is time to farewell the Cloud Campus name. From T3, you will start to see Cloud Campus referred to as ‘Online’, which encompasses all online learners.
The term ‘Cloud Campus’ was introduced to recognise the distinctive requirements of online study, which led to changed support and teaching practice to improve students’ online experience.
By moving from Cloud Campus to Online, we are now describing a unified, inclusive student cohort where all students learn flexibly through interactive learning experiences. Changing the use of Cloud Campus to Online better reflects the flexibility students want and the inclusivity that is at the heart of Deakin.
As we have in the past, we’ll maintain our focus on improving the online learning offering and experiences for students studying online. We also want to explore the opportunities to build this community of learners, enhance their university experience and establish a lifelong learning community that is inclusive, vibrant and connected.

When will this change be implemented?
Some changes will come into effect from T3, and others will be transitioned in as we commence the Semester 1 and Trimester 1 2023 study periods.
We invite our current Online (Cloud Campus) students to help us make this transition and provide feedback on the Cloud Campus Facebook Group, connection to university and peers.
We encourage you to complete this short 10-minute survey to provide your feedback. Online students who complete the survey and include their name, Deakin email and student number will go in the draw to win one of five $50 vouchers.
