P.S.

i didn't wanna be the type of student to come to reddit instead of student central or something similar but i feel like i have no other way of asking for advice about this without feeling like an idiot reaching out to student central.

i'm enrolled to epr781 for t3 which i was under the impression the placement would be undertaken in t3 which was incredibly foolish looking back at it now.

i have just googled the "first block" for this units placement which i'm assuming most t3 students will be lumped into. the dates on inplace say they span across nov-late feb, but the deakin placement calendar says 1st feb to the 19th of feb.

one particular date that falls on a weekday during this time frame, i literally CANNOT attend placement, as i have an event i already rsvp'd, planned, and paid to go to, back in the first half of this year. i knew it was risky to agree practically a year out, especially for a weekday event, but i didn't realise my placement would "definitely" be covering this date.

i have never done placement. i have zero teaching experience. i genuinely have no clue what to expect let alone handle trying to get this one seemingly non-negotiable day off. is there ANY possible way i can defer placement just for this one day? can i make it up outside the placement block or extend the block? i don't know how any of this works and the more i look into it the more stressed i am and i just need someone to kindly explain what's possible and what steps to take. i know my placement blocks haven't been confirmed, so i don't even know if its a 100% chance i get put into the february block, but its looking like a 99% chance at this rate.

i'm not trying to do 14/15 days instead, i still very much would love to, and need to, complete the full 15 days. but if anyone has done placement and has needed a day off, your guidance will be greatly accepted. and if you are a lurking staff member with any knowledge of what to do i will also listen gratefully.

thank you so much 🙏

I applied for on-campus accomodation for 2027, and im a bit confused since they said my application wouldn’t be complete until i upload proof of enrolment or something like that? but i wont know if i can enroll until VTAC offers come out. does that mean my accomodation application cant be completed until then?

Hi, I want to study med imaging next year, and I am aware that an interstate placement is required.

Are there any students here who know how many weeks this interstate placement would last?

Yo,

Has anybody spoken to a student adviser / student central and found mapping out their degree useful?

I do commerce and work full time so understanding what subject to do and when is spinning me, is it best to go speak to a student adviser?

Any feedback would be great

Hi what are the chances of me receiving an offer for a bachelor of medical imaging at Deakin uni as an applicant from Monash University with a decently high wam for sem 1

Theoretically

Hi everyone, i’ve recently taken an online assessment that is unsupervised. I’ve use the command + C feature to copy some of the questions so i can research more about it later due to the time restrictions and to see if i can pass my current answer i wrote in the assessment as a good answer. You know, to evaluate and see how well i’ve done in the exam before the results are released. All of the sudden it occurred to me that it could be flagged as me copying and pasting things into an AI platform. Now i’m overly paranoid, could anyone tell me if they flag it? or am i okay?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m creating a space for Deakin University 2027 PhD scholarship applicants to connect, share application updates, discuss ResearchPoint status and scores, and exchange information about RTP/DUPRS scholarships.

If you’ve applied, please comment with your school/department and current application status. Let’s help each other stay informed!

If I’m applying for special considerations due to medical reasons, is it okay to submit a normal medical certificate from the gp or does it have to be the Deakin one. Some of the gp’s I’ve been too are not interested in completing that long from or they’ve even asked money for it 😭

So I was hoping submitted the normal med cert would be fine.

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how often you need to go into campus per week approximately for a bachelor of nursing/midwifery? Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m planning to pursue a Master’s in Sports Management at Deakin. How are exams conducted in this course? Are there traditional written exams, or is it mostly assignments, presentations, and group projects? Would love to hear from current students about their experience!

I'm 0.5% away in raw marks from the next rung on the grading ladder for one of my units🥲 (79.5 - just short of a HD overall). Is there a way to appeal this and try to get awarded the extra marks?

Or should I assume this gets rounded up since the transcript is to 2 sf?

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to get some advice from anyone who has experience with internal course transfers at Deakin, particularly into a Law double degree.

I'm planning to study the Bachelor of Commerce at Deakin in Trimester 3, 2026, with the goal of internally transferring into the Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws double degree for Trimester 1, 2027.

My concern is the timing. Deakin's T3 results are scheduled to be released on 25 February 2027, while T1 classes start on 1 March 2027. The course transfer application deadline is also before the T3 results are released.

I'm wondering whether Deakin would allow me to submit my transfer application while my results are pending and then assess it once my marks come out. Alternatively, is it possible to receive conditional approval based on meeting the required WAM.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and were you able to apply before results were released?

Hey, did anyone find the MAE201 exam extremely difficult and long? Why was it so hard and long? I studied all the seminar questions but this was expressive.

Has anyone managed 5 HDs in a trimester? Or is it unrealistic?

In any course.

wondering if the deakin cloud quiz tool can tell what other browsers/exact websites you have open during the quiz? if anyone knows

Helloo

There was a completely unexpected and unannounced (well it was announced only this morning) interruption/bus replacements for the dandenong-okleigh line, and there was absolutely no way that I wouldve made it in time for my 9am exam bc of the major delays.

Im aware that Deakin is extremely strict and will reject PT reasons, but seeing as this interruption was only announced this morning (and it was a 9am exam), would I have a chance of being accepted?

Ive already contacted PTV and asked for a formal statement as evidence

I currently live in a share house thats literally a minute walk from deakin. It’s a really cute place, bit of an older building but the price is unbeatable. Ive been living here for about two months now and really don’t have any complaints. All my housemates are lovely, the bus stop is right in front of my house, etc etc.

However, I work super far away which means that I commute more than I want to and I feel like I would love to live closer to work.

My lease doesn’t end until February so if anyone is interested in my place please shoot me a message and we can arrange a viewing and potentially a lease transfer:))
