COVID-19 updates: Supporting our community
Deakin is monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure the ongoing safety of the University community. We've paused all on-campus teaching, including classes (lectures), seminars and pracs, with study continuing undisrupted thanks to our premium online learning platform.
