Win a $250 gift card just by telling us how you’ve found the start of uni!
At Deakin, your student experience means everything to us. One of the most important phases of your uni journey is the very start – offer, enrolment, Orientation and those first few weeks of study.
As a student who’s commenced in T2 2025, you’ve recently experienced this for yourself and we’d love to hear about it – the good, the bad and everything in between.
We value feedback from our students, and we’re especially interested in your experience of Orientation, so we’ve put together a short survey where you can tell us about your Orientation experience.
Did our Orientation program help you settle into uni life and make you feel like a member of the Deakin community?
Do you feel more informed about what’s on offer at Deakin, academically, socially and culturally?
Has it set you up for study success and shown how you can make the most of uni?
We’d love to hear your thoughts. Simply complete the survey link we’ve sent to your Deakin email. It will only take 15 minutes and will help us to keep improving our Orientation experience for all commencing students.
Update: 3 September 2025
Congratulations to our two winners below! You will receive an email from the Orientation team (orientation@deakin.edu.au) confirming your win, followed by delivery of your eGift Card to your Deakin email address.
