Approval to add a course after the last date to add a course may only be granted in exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances are those considered beyond your control. That is, a situation occurs that a reasonable person would consider is not due to the person’s action or inaction, either direct or indirect, and for which the person is not responsible. This situation must be unusual, uncommon or abnormal. A lack of understanding of Australian Government Legislation or University Policy is not considered to be beyond a person’s control.

If you are an undergraduate student seeking readmission to Griffith to a different program, you can do this via an internal transfer.

Please note that you can submit an internal transfer form to apply for readmission into a new program if you have:

• not yet graduated
• not been excluded
• no outstanding fees.

Any supporting documents can be uploaded with your internal transfer application, and you will be assessed for admission to your new program.

Please note that not all programs are available through internal transfer. You can find more information on the Internal transfer webpage. Internal transfers are covered under the Admission Procedure, which is part of the Admission Policy suite.
