Every student receives an official Griffith email address (name@griffithuni.edu.au). The University sends important messages to this address, so we advise you to check it regularly.
Logging into multiple accounts via Chrome
Set up profiles to access different accounts from Chrome such as your student and staff email account.
Skype moving to Teams
Coming soon:Microsoft Teams is replacing Skype for Business as the communications client in 365.
Have you used Skype (consumer)?
Skype for Business and Skype (consumer) can run simultaneously, but they must have a different email account.
If you have previously used Skype (consumer) with your Griffith email address, you will need to change the email to a personal address.
