Stay up to date with what's important
Throughout the trimester, we will send you reminders of key dates and official correspondence about your studies.
We'll also send you information on services that can help you succeed in your study, plus links to events and groups that are more on the social side of your university experience.
To keep up to date, visit and your student email account regularly (for official emails as well as our fortnightly 'Stuff You Need To Know' student email) and follow our student and pages.
Professional communication standards
With technology allowing us to be constantly connected as you develop your professional career, it's important to remember the value of disconnecting and balancing study, work and personal life.
This applies not just to you but also to our teaching staff who work so hard to deliver high-quality education at Griffith.
With this in mind, we have adopted a series of communications standards for students and staff. Keep these standards in mind when communicating with your teaching teams and be considerate of their personal time outside of work hours.
Broadly, these standards apply to expecting responses to emails in standard business hours, as well as the platforms you should use for your communications.
All students should familiarise themselves with the professional standards, and refer back to them regularly.
