Mobile Technology Services
Griffith University provides a range of mobile technology services that can help you on your way to becoming more mobile with your study or work. Our goal is to provide the Griffith community with the ability to access information and services in mobile device friendly formats, so that they can do what they need to do anywhere, anytime.
The Griffith App
The Griffith App has been updated to a new look and feel and includes Single Sign-on across a number of modules. Available via the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.
Some application features may require user location services to be enabled; however, this is not a requirement to use non-location based features. The Griffith App does not collect or store user’s location data.
As the previous version of the Griffith App is no longer being supported, it is highly recommended that you update to the new Griffith App (version 5.0.0).
