Once you have planned your courses, you can plan your class times. Adding a class to your planned timetable won't guarantee you a place, but it will save you time when enrolment opens and increase your chances of enrolling in your preferred class time.

1. Go to the relevant course in myGriffith.
2. Click the Select classes button against the course
3. Select your preferred classes and hit Save.

When you have selected all the required classes for a course, the course status will change from 'Action Required' to 'Planned'.

How to submit your enrolment

The Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of a combination of ten numbers and letters. Your USI is used to connect your student loan information to your personal details. You are required to provide a USI via the Pre-Enrolment Questionnaire to study at Griffith.

Your legal first name, last name and date of birth need to match exactly between Griffith University and the USI Registry. If they do not match, then your USI cannot be verified. You need a verified USI to:

• be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP)
• be eligible for Commonwealth financial assistance (HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP, OS-HELP and SA-HELP)
• graduate and receive your award.

You can find more information on the Unique Student Identifier webpage.

International students

You will only be able to create a USI after arriving in Australia. Further information is available on the Australian Government's USI website.

Student Services and Amenities Fee

Commonwealth Supported Students

Your tuition fees depend on the courses you choose, as each course falls under a specific government-designated discipline (student contribution band).

The indicative fee represents the estimated average cost for a typical first-year full-time study load (80 credit points or 40 credit points for certificate programs). Actual tuition fees may vary based on your choice of courses, majors, electives, and any approved recognition of prior learning.

Please note that the indicative fee is based on current conditions and available data and should only be used as a guide.

The Australian Government sets student contribution amounts annually, and they may be subject to increases.

You can find more information on student contribution bands on the Student Contribution Amount webpage. 

Fee-Paying Students

The indicative annual tuition fee is based on a standard full-time annual study load (80 credit points or 40 credit points for certificate programs) and should be used as a guide only.

Actual tuition fees for international fee-paying students may vary depending on the year you begin your studies and the year in which you enrol.

Please note that actual tuition fees for domestic fee-paying students may vary depending on the year in which you enrol.

Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change.
