The MD Program delivered at the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba is the same medical program offered on the Gold Coast campus and your offer is specific to the location indicated in your offer letter, and any enrolment must reflect the campus or teaching location to which you were approved.
'Campus' (or teaching location) Transfers will only be considered in extenuating/unforeseen circumstances that were unknown at the time of application and where capacity exists. Requests should outline your circumstances and include medical evidence or other supporting evidence. Requests should be sent to medicine-admissions@griffith.edu.au by 5 pm Friday 6 November. Late requests will not be accepted. You should not delay accepting your offer while making a request. Offers not accepted on time will be lapsed and given to other applicants.
