Your Orientation is a program of information sessions, events and activities designed to ensure you make a great start at Deakin. Your Orientation program is tailored to you, so it's simple for you to plan the weeks ahead and ensure you don't miss anything important.

Your T1 2025 Orientation program will be available to view from Monday 3 February 2025. You'll be able to view your program in TargetConnect on or after this date. Ensure you are properly enrolled so you can access your Orientation program when it becomes available.

The essential sessions include:

• your course information session, which will introduce your area of study, your course structure and the teaching teams you will be learning from. It’s also a good opportunity for you to double check you’re enrolled in the correct units.
• a carnival day run by DUSA, the Deakin University Student Association.
• a session introducing your digital and physical learning environments.
• a session introducing the practical support services available to you, such as peer mentors.

In addition to these core sessions, there will also be many more informal opportunities for you to meet people, make connections and get involved with all that Deakin offers. Keep an eye out for the chance to join a club or society, try a new sport or chat to other students in your course as you're moving around your new campus.
