If you are a new student, you will need to activate your Deakin username and password before logging on for the first time. For more information, please visit the following article: Activating your Deakin IT Account |
If you are a past student or recently graduated and have lost access to your account (including your Deakin email) please contact the IT Service Desk on 1800 463 888 |
This article is designed to help you with Deakin's Single Sign-On (SSO) process. Your Deakin username and password give you access to systems such as email, wi-fi, DeakinHub, Callista and StudentConnect.
If you have forgotten your username or password, you will need to reset your password.
Your username will appear in bold once you enter your ID number and Date of Birth correctly and go to the next page.
Your username for new students will likely be in the format of your ID number with an 's' in front e.g; s123456789

Changing your password regularly is good for security and for staff, we will ask you to change it every 18 months. Students do not have this requirement, but it is still good practice. It's important to change your password when we remind you, because if you don't we'll need to disable your account to keep it secure.
It is best practice to use a different password for each of your online accounts. If you have trouble remembering all of your passwords, you can use a password manager to securely store them in one place. Deakin recommends students and staff use LastPass. LastPass not only stores passwords but lets you generate new ones, too.
