Why might a Deakin award be absent from the catalogue?

The catalogue uses a controlled global taxonomy and only publishes exact or approved equivalent matches. Broad combined degrees, narrow majors and some specialist awards may not map cleanly; those awards are logged for taxonomy review rather than being represented by an inaccurate generic course.
