We, the students of Deakin University, respectfully request a more accessible and equitable policy regarding the submission of assignments by off-campus students.
We call for a more responsive strategy that allows both electronic and postal submissions to make tertiary study more accessible for all students.
The existing policy causes concern and confusion amongst the student community, leading to the necessity for appropriate uniform changes to be implemented.
We (DUSA), ask that students sign the petition in order for Deakin to gauge the volume of requests so that future changes can accurately reflect the needs of our community.
Thanks for your support,
Deakin University Student Association (DUSA)
Distance Campus Committee.
I just looked at the screen and saw 500 names which honestly feels like such a huge shift from when I was just staring at a blank page wondering if anyone else felt the same way about these submission policies. It is wild to think about that many people all sitting at their computers feeling frustrated by the exact same things and now we finally have some actual proof that this is a real problem that needs a fix.

Postage costs are way too high for an assignment that can just be sent via email. Really hope they listen to us.
