New students

First year Griffith University students gathered at Logan campus

Your first year at University marks an important transition - whether you are coming straight from school, or following on from employment or studies elsewhere. Griffith's "New Students" website will help you get started on your journey to academic and personal success. Explore five key pathways, each linking to the resources and services available to help you along the way.

Getting connected with people
Outlines the importance of creating links with students and staff at University and who to go to for help when needed.
Getting prepared academically
Describes the new learning environment you will be entering, as well as skills needed to succeed and develop in this new environment.
Getting around the University
Identifies the people, places and services available to students in your University community.
Getting focused on your program and career
Explains the importance of choosing the right program and discovering your career options early.
Getting the idea of University
Invites you to think about your expectations of University and your role as a 'student citizen' of the Griffith learning community.

Parents, partners and supporters can find out about University too.

We hope you enjoy exploring the range of services and support available to you, and encourage you to return to this site as often as you need to throughout your studies.

If you wish to provide feedback we welcome your input.

Good luck.
