Keep track of the important dates for your studies with these Outlook calendars
Keeping up with all the dates and events important to your studies is an essential part of university life. This can sometimes be tricky, with all the different dates to remember: enrolment dates, census dates, withdrawal dates, study periods, end-of-unit assessment and exam periods and deadlines to apply to graduate.
To make it easier to track them all in one place, we have a range of university calendars you can add to Microsoft Outlook.
Outlook calendars
These calendars include university key dates, public holidays and the university shut down period and can integrate with your existing Outlook calendar. Making use of university calendars in Outlook has a range of benefits including:
- Convenience: Access University dates and your study period dates easily.
- Real-time updates: Receive updates and changes to the academic calendar instantly.
- Timetable overlay: You can overlay your timetable into your Outlook Calendar.

Accessing Outlook
You can access your online Outlook Calendar from the top navigation bar in DeakinSync, located beside your email.
You can also download Microsoft Outlook, and other useful software, for free while enrolled at Deakin from the Microsoft 365 suite of apps.
We recommend installing the Microsoft Outlook app on your Android or iOS device and linking your Deakin account, so you can easily access your calendar or email wherever you go.
If you don’t want to use the Microsoft Outlook app, you can still stay up-to-date by adding your student email address to your chosen email app (e.g. IOS Mail, Android Mail and Windows Mail). This allows you to view important Deakin emails alongside your regular emails.
