All your uni info in one place: check out the new and improved student website!
As a Deakin student, you need quick and easy access to essential and timely information – on everything from planning your course, paying your fees and using study resources to accessing student services, career opportunities and social activities.
We’re thrilled to announce that our Student website, which is home to much of this important content, has had a much-needed makeover. Yay!
The site has been redesigned with YOU as the priority – we want to make your uni experience as simple and enjoyable as possible!
What’s changed
- Simpler navigation: based on student feedback, we’ve developed a new information architecture and mega navigation, so it’s now much easier to find what you need. Just hover over your chosen topic and an easy-to-follow menu will point you in the right direction.
- Better search: we’ve improved the search function, so it’s quicker, more powerful, tailors results, and directs you to other useful information and resources.
- More timely information: latest student news appears on the homepage and other important pages, giving you the most timely and relevant updates.
- User-friendly design: high-level pages contain content modules that group related topics, while you’ll find important links – to other sites like the library, DeakinSync and StudentConnect, as well as help and support – in the same place on every page.
- Easy actions: helpful buttons on many pages enable you to read essential steps and complete a task right then and there.
- Improved accessibility: we want all students to have equal access to uni information, so we’ve improved the accessibility of the site, including all forms, tabs and accordions.
- A feedback form: tell us what you think or suggest improvements using the ‘Give feedback’ button on the right-hand side of the banner.
What’s next
We’re not done yet! Further planned improvements include:
- Highlighting networking and study opportunities to help you choose the right peer mentoring, Study Abroad and Work Integrated Learning programs.
- Adding a new student events calendar, so you’ll find all events, workshops, seminars, training and other opportunities in the one spot.
- Continuing to review and update site content to make it easy-to-follow and accessible to all students!
We’ll also regularly review analytics and other data to help us further improve the site and address any gaps or problems.
