Student Services

Student Services & Support. As a DkIT student we have a range of student services and supports available to you.

DkIT Student Services

The Student Services Centre in the Faulkner Building provides a range of personal support to students attending the Institute and aims to provide both advice and practical supports in a wide variety of circumstances.

Your college experience is about more than your course, it is about starting the next chapter of your life – your new world. At DkIT you have the chance to grow academically and personally, meet like-minded people and work towards achieving your dreams. Our job is to help you do this.

Disability Services & Support

Student Health

Student Health Unit

The Student Health Unit (SHU) provides free on-campus medical care to all registered students. The nurse-led service operates within resource constraints so certain service service limitations apply.

Counselling

Counselling

Going to college can be a great experience with opportunities to grow and change, academically, socially and personally.
Pastoral Care

Pastoral Care

Students and others from all sorts of backgrounds and in various personal situations or relationships are welcomed and respected. It is another way in which DkIT seeks to have a friendly face, a smile and words of welcome for each individual.
