Griffith academic and professional experience calendars
The professional experience calendar should be read in conjunction with the Griffith University academic calendar. Due to school holidays, public holidays, and the trimester model, it is not always possible to align PEx within the academic calendar. Therefore, students should check for variations with the trimester start dates and university mid trimester vacation dates.
