The University is committed to excellence in student-centred learning. To achieve this, Griffith has established policies and processes to effectively manage its learning and teaching activities and contribute towards excellent student learning outcomes. The focus of evaluation is on:
- the quality of programs and courses and teaching, and
- those factors in the University context that affect the quality of teaching and learning, such as University facilities, educational resources, campus climates, and student interaction with University administration.

University committees
Faculty boards provide advice to the University on student evaluation of teaching and student evaluation of courses. It is likely that, with some changes to its constitution, that Programs Committee will soon assume responsibility for reviewing programs within its scope, and overseeing the evaluation policies relating to teaching and courses.
Teaching support
The Planning, Statistics and Business Intelligence unit manages the data warehouse, the centralised data repository to provide improved data management. Information on the results from the evaluation of teaching and courses is included in the data warehouse. Planning, Statistics and Business Intelligence staff are available to assist in the interpretation of results obtained from teaching and course surveys.
The Griffith Institute for Higher Education provides professional development for the improvement of teaching and provides a range of resources to support evaluation approaches and strategies.
The Griffith Institute for Higher Education produces a range of resources offering practical strategies and tools for effective teaching to enhance the quality of student learning and outcomes in a broad range of contexts.
