Deakin College will forward your results to Deakin University on the day they are released.
If you sat for a deferred exam, your results will not be sent to Deakin University until the results are finalised. As a result, you may receive an email from the University advising that you have not been offered a place.
You should email the Pathways team at Deakin University to inform them that your results have not been finalised due to your deferred exam.
