Step-by-step guide

Log in	Log in to Student Connect using your Deakin username and password. Ensure your browser has pop-ups enabled as they are required to complete the enrolment process. Click on the pink ‘enrol in your course or unit’ button.
Select your course	Click on the pink 'begin enrolment' button.
Terms and conditions	Click ‘consent and accept’ to the terms and conditions of your enrolment at Deakin.
Contact details and government requirements	Check your course/campus/mode, contact details (name, address, emergency contact etc.) and update if necessary. Click 'continue' once your details have been entered or updated. Complete the government statistics questions.
Units	You will be pre-enrolled in some of your course units. M761A students will be pre-enrolled in 4 units and S735A students will be pre-enrolled in 2 units. These will appear in StudentConnect as ‘unconfirmed’. Select the ‘confirm’ option on the right-hand side of each of these units. If your course plan includes elective units, you'll also need to add these to your enrolment. Follow the steps below to add your electives or contact a course adviser if you need help selecting your units. Add units using the ‘add units’ button and searching for your units. Add all of the units for your entire first year of study, one after the other. Make sure to select the correct campus and study period. Don’t forget you can return and change/amend your unit selections. Check the trimester dates for relevant deadlines to amend your unit selections, For your enrolment to finalise, you will need to enrol full time (at least three credit points) in both Trimester 2 and 3. DAI001 Academic Integrity Module and STP710 Career Tools for Employability (S735A only) need to be enrolled in your first trimester but do not count toward your full-time load.
Finalise	Click ‘finish enrolling’ to confirm your enrolment and receive your receipt. Each unit status will change to ‘enrolled’.
