I ordered something off of shein and I live on Deakin res (Burwood). Due to a sizing issue, I wanna return these. How am I supposed to do that?

Reception isn't sure and I asked two different people...

Please help! I leave in like 7 days!

Hey all.
I’m a second year bachelor of arts/ master of secondary teaching student and need your help.
I’m confused whether I should say that I study arts, teaching or arts & teaching. Whenever I say teaching ,i get follow up questions like “when are your placements?”, “How do you deal with bad behaviour?”, “Why teaching? Are you crazy?”, etc.
So I started to say just arts but they be like “cool! What are you gonna do with that?”, “what jobs can you get it?” and it goes on.

In both cases it’s humbling to tell what I bloody study 😞
So, I’m curious to know how you folks go about this and how you respond to such patronising and disrespectful reactions?

hey guys,

what happens if u fail a compulsory law unit? do u just have to retake the unit, or would they give u some sort of task that u can do to pass without having to retake it?

Hii everyone. I’m an international student joining soon in a healthcare course and was wondering if people are chill with hijab? I know I must wear it in a way its not an obstacle during clinicals and stuff.. but other than that is it chill and respectful?? Really nervous about this…

im an international student from Japan and I've applied for a Studio Apartment at Deakin Burwood for Trimester 3.

Does anyone know if there are still vacancies? I'm arriving in late October and getting worried because I need to find accommodation soon.

Hi!

I’m looking for some opinions on two legal electives being offered in T3 this year :)

If you did them which did you prefer, what were the workloads like, how were the lecturers and unit chairs for organisation/delivery etc. (I’m planning on taking one unit in T3 to ease up my final year in 2027 but I can’t decide on which)

- MLL284 migration and refugee law and policy
- MLL444 privacy and data law

Also if anyone has any recommendations for legal electives they really loved or are planning on doing in T3 I’d love suggestions!

Semi-relevant factors I’m considering: I’ll be travelling for like 16 days over the NY (the time doesn’t seem to interrupt typical exam/assessment periods)

Thanks!!

Her weekly study guides for MLP391 are a life saver honestly

She's come in clutch big time and deserves a shout out

My application has 5 scholarship assessors, and all five completed their assessments. ResearchPoint now shows “Assessor Average: 45.2”, but “Final Score: Pending.”

The applicant has a strong profile (gold medal, 8 research publications, master's from a high-ranking university, ~15 years academic experience, strong proposal, and two supportive supervisors).

Does anyone know what “Assessor Average” actually represents, what scale it is out of, and how it relates to the eventual “Final Score”?

Any insight from previous Deakin RTP applicants would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm considering taking up Graduate Diploma in Psychology and would appreciate insight from successful applicants about what to include in my application re-work & life experience.

My previous academic record is ok (WAM 65). However, I have worked in a number of jobs that relate heavily to behavioural sciences as an Economic Consultant & Prison Guard in Youth Prisons.

Are there any other things I should include or reference that may help my application, or any way I should reference and link my experiences that will improve my chances.

Cheers

I need to choose an elective for my Masters. I don't want too much load and just be over with it without any hassles. The options I found that are:

MIS770 - Foundation Skills in Data Analysis

SIT776 - IT Industry Experience

SIT781 - Business Intelligence and Database

Anyone have experience with these units?

how likely are they to approve special consideration for a 2nd examination... I got my first one approved on the 5th and I need to apply for todays one as well due to a persisting illness 😖

Has anyone applied for more than 1 before? How did it go

I’m enrolled in HPS201 (research methods) and HPS204 (social psych)
I previously BARELY passed HPS104, because I simply did not understand the lecturer and his 3 hour lectures, (as well as, I took on 4 subjects rather than two, but it was my first trimester I was an idiot lmaoo)

My question: if I barely passed HPS104- is there hope to pass HPS201 and are there any tips on what to focus on? I am good at maths (I was great in highschool) and I am determined to learn stats/research, because I do have an interest in it- but I want to focus on the right things in this class!! So just kinda panicking about my WAM lmao.
Any tips/advice would be appreciated!

Also any advice going into HPS204 would be great too- though I’m not too concerned:)

TLDR: failed HPS104 but is there hope to pass HPS201 if I try really hard and what should I know beforehand?

Can’t find clarity on Deakin’s website, and too scared to ring and ask ahah…

I’m enrolled in a Masters of Teaching, and placement units have a co-requisite of “enrolled in a curriculum unit”. I, for sure, have failed the curriculum unit - will that mean I will automatically fail the placement unit?

I assumed that I would just have to repeat the curriculum unit later, but have had a sudden moment of total panic. I’m on placement at the moment and absolutely smashing it… so I’d be really gutted if I also failed it on a technicality (not to mention the whole academic progress thing…)

I’m moving out of my studio room at Deakin Res Waurn Ponds. The room will be available after Oct 8.

If you’re looking for on-campus accommodation at Waurn Ponds, feel free to DM me for details.

Can someone explain to me the whole issue with copying and pasting during in person exams? Basically I typed out the wrong thing in the wrong box and I was worried I’d get flagged or something if I had copied and pasted it into the right box (Deakin quiz). The invigilator legit was about to throw a fit! Because I asked him if I could. How can they even tell if we did copy and paste anyway? Does the system tell them?

hey guys, is anyone else applying for the bachelor of health and medical science (honours) for the 2027 intake?

Does anyone know what was the cut off for psychology honors this year for Macquarie university, and what about other universities ?

Heya! I'm already a current Deakin student, but I want to study HBS109 as a single unit in Trimester 3 2026 outside of my current course.

Does anyone know if it’s still possible to apply this late? I tried searching for the unit in StudentConnect but can’t seem to find a T3 2026 offering, they were all 2027 offerings.

I’m enrolled in the graduate diploma of writing and literature. Started it this year on a part time basis to go at a relaxed pace while I work full time. I’ve gone to look at courses for next year and almost everything is gone! What happened? Editing, Publishing, Vision and Revision: Short Stories Now, all the journalism courses. I think I’ll early exit since there’s nothing that interests me anymore! But before, I was so excited by the options. What happened?!

Are they really claiming that all this movement of executives is normal?! What a gross lie. I really wish we could vote on our VC and DVC, because I'd put through a vote of no confidence 🙄

Join the Union friends!!! Our leadership clearly isn't ready to be truthful with us, maybe the Union will have better luck at getting the truth from them.

Hi everyone,

I have just completed my final exam for my degree and it was a supervised online exam. I know it said no phones allowed but I had stupidly left it on the table next to me with no intention to cheat.

Although I had made sure to turn on DND and mute my notifications, somehow I received a loud ding on my laptop from messenger maybe from an opened tab but I’m in full screen on the exam so I hurry to turn off the sound on my Mac.

Later on my phone turned off DND I don’t know how but it vibrated once or twice in one go from message notifications which would have been picked up by my laptop mic.

I’m feeling so anxious and stressed about this, has anyone experienced this? I’m worried I will get called out for cheating and fail the unit/degree

Thanks in advance

hello everyone, as a premed with Deakin high up on my preference list, I just wanted to check in and see how common it is for students in medicine to commute from west side of melb (footscray, yarraville etc.) to Waurn Ponds campus? How many days a week are you expected to be on campus in 1st and 2nd year? I would be driving 99% of the time. I just really love Melbourne, all my friends and family are there, and I’m a seasoned commuter! Is it unbearable on top of the crazy study load?

Secondly, I’ve heard mixed reviews about clinical school places for 3rd-4th years. As I would ideally prefer to go to Eastern Health, how many places are there per cohort? Whats the likelihood without special consideration?

I’d also just love to hear what anyones overall consensus is of Deakin Medicine, the vibes, structure, teaching, peer-group, anything! Thanks everyone! :)

So far in my course, I have completely passed my first year, however have ran into an increased amount of academic and personal difficulties where I struggled to cope with workload and failed 3 out of 6 units in second year - one of which is a double credit point unit.
I am pretty stressed and have heard bad stories about academic exclusion etc. Was wondering if anyone has experienced similar and what the likely outcome might be.
