Travel arrangements
(applies to on-campus applicants only)

Complete the Notification of Arrival Form at www.deakin.edu.au/current-students/international/ living/airport/index.php indicating whether you may need temporary accommodation. »» Deakin strongly recommends that you stay in temporary accommodation for your first few nights in order to find a suitable longer term accommodation option. Many students want to move straight into permanent accommodation and attempt to organise this prior to their arrival. This can be very dangerous and many students end up losing their money. The safest and best option is to organise a few nights of temporary accommodation for when you arrive, so that our Off-Campus Housing Officers can work with you to find suitable long term accommodation. »» If you arrive later than the start date stated on your offer letter, Deakin University reserves the right to refuse your enrolment. »» If you cannot arrive by the start date, we suggest that you defer commencement of your studies to the following trimester. If you require assistance with the application process, please contact Deakin International or your Deakin University approved agents.
