For some programs you will be required to either complete the Pre-enrolment Questionnaire and/or enrol within a short timeframe in order to secure your place, or your offer will lapse. Lapsed offers are not reinstated. These details are included in your Starting@Griffith email if it is a requirement for your program.
Unique Student Identifier
All Griffith students require a Unique Student Identifier in order to be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place and Commonwealth financial assistance (HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP or OS-HELP). If you're commencing a new program at Griffith, you will need to obtain a USI (or locate your existing USI) and provide it via the Pre-enrolment Questionnaire before your first census date. For further information visit Unique-Student Identifier.
Apply for Credit
Students with an offer of admission who have received the Starting@Griffith email can apply for credit for prior formal, informal or non-formal learning by submitting an online credit application. Applications for credit may be lodged at any time; however, an application for credit will not be accepted for a course(s) a student is enrolled in if the census date has already passed. It is far better to have your credit determined prior to the commencement of teaching as it may impact on which courses you enrol in.
