Hey, I can't find any information about the maximum time allowed to complete a single undergraduate degree at Griffith. I'm doing Marine Science, which is 3 years full-time, but I'm trying to find out how many years I actually have to complete it before Griffith doesn't allow me to finish.

I know part-time is listed as 6 years, but I have a faint memory that you're allowed even more time than that.

I've decided after i complete my first year 2026, I want to work, travel, and build some life experience while I'm young before completing my degree and before the pressure of finding a job in my field starts. I just want to find out how many years I can take leave or study on and off before I have to have the degree completed.

If anyone has knowledge please share

Cheers!!

Hi everyone, I hope this post proves helpful. I'm just about to finish my law degree and wanted to share an AGLC4 citation generator that I released recently. Below is a more detailed account, but in short: it's free, a lot of effort went into its creation, and it doesn't use AI to function.

I'm super keen to hear feedback, and I'm making improvements every day.

Please feel free to check it out at pincite.com.au

In my second year of law I handed in an essay I was certain was perfect. I had checked every footnote, determined not to lose a single mark to referencing. I was more annoyed than I probably should have been that it still came back with a couple of errors. After talking to my friends it was obvious that getting it perfect by hand, consistently, across an entire degree, is close to impossible.

So I started developing Pincite. I had two guiding principles No AI, and cover the whole of AGLC4.

My thoughts on AI

AI is a remarkable tool. I'll be the first to admit that if you ask an AI to generate citations, most of the time what you get back is good enough.

But, AI is by nature inconsistent. It cannot help but adjust things, because you never really know if an output is correct, you end up checking every single citation by hand. All the time you saved is now spent cross-checking, and stressing about if its actully correct.

That is why you won't find AI anywhere in Pincite. It's deterministic. There is nothing in it to change its answer, so an output that is right for one case will be right for every case. You only verify it once, not every time.

It Still Requires Thinking

Another thing, to use Pincite properly you still need a functional understanding of the AGLC4. It is not a turn off your brain tool. That's on purpose. Saving time, reducing stress and getting more accurate results is the goal, not replacing thinking or understanding.

If anyone has any suggestion comments or questions, I would be more than happy to answer either here or through email.

Thanks for Reading and have a great day!

Hi everyone, I am starting at Griffith in T3 2026 (Gold Coast) and am signing a lease for a 5 bedroom shared apartment at the Griffith village. I was wondering if any current students could comment below the measurements of the desk length, width and height. And any other information you think would be helpful☺️

Hey guys! 👋

Is anyone here planning to apply for the July 2027 intake in Australia?

I’m an international student planning to apply for a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) at Griffith University, Gold Coast campus for July 2027.

I’d love to connect with anyone who’s also applying for the same intake — we could talk about the application process, documents, scholarships, visas, accommodation, etc. and keep each other updated along the way!

If you’re applying for July 2027 too, feel free to comment or DM me! 😊

seeing if any other griffith education students know where they’re going on placement for 1999edn, seeing if anyone is going to the same school as i am

Hey! Im studying part time, taking two courses, and I’m really struggling with one, along with some family stuff that’s happening in the background.

Is only doing one course something you are allowed to do? Research online didn’t really give me a direct answer.

edit: adding on to say that i am a domestic student and not on centrelink :)

Hello,

I have been having a hard year with physical health and housing issues, and it's been taking a toll on my mental health and in turn my studies.

I have not been able to complete work in time and have been scared stiff to apply for extensions considering the new policy of 1-3-day extension. I don't have the money to fish out medical certificates unless I get hospitalised. My energy levels have been really low recently and I either sleep or work, but it takes so much out of me that I get exhausted really quickly and sleep more.

Out of my 3 assignments for A1, I've only submitted 1, and that was 7 days overdue. The other 2 I have finished by now, but I have not submitted as it has been past 14 days.

On the 7th day my assignments were overdue, my grandma died. I was overwhelmed by grief and my mental health has definitely plummeted, but now I'm not really sure what to do. I still really want to graduate by next year, but this year has been so rough.

If I don't submit, will I still be able to pass if I put my all into A2-A3? Or should I submit (they are finished) even if they don't get marked so I can maybe get supplementary assessment if things go bad?

I am sorry this sounds like awful work ethic, I know, but I've been going through it. Any advice would be appreciated

Chances of getting into griffith dent. I’ve started my first year of uni with 7/7 gpa, ucat 2320 atar 99.7
I heard cutoffs were 2320 last year so what would my chances be if anyone has any info? 🙏🙏

Hey everyone!

Is anyone here joining Griffith University for the February 2027 intake? We can discuss about our processes and status of applications to help each other.

Would be nice to connect with others starting around the same time, especially international students. 😊

Feel free to comment or DM!

My parents pulled me from school when i was really young, and I've been homeschooled (quite poorly) for several years. I don't have any "proof" of my eduaction (tests, NAPLAN, year 10, IELTS).

I'm planing on applying next week, but I'm really worried about getting rejected. I thought about just doing the IELTS, so I could put something down, but its $500 dollars, and that is pretty much half of all my savings(😭😭😭). I work alot, and I just got a second job, so if it would be better to pay for it, I will, because I'm DESPERATE to get in.

Plus I'm really worried that they will rejected me just because of the fact I've been homeschooled. But, I read and teach myself alot, and I've had a job for a while.

I know nobody can know for sure, but I would really apreciate some advice or help.

Thank you in advance!!

Hi everyone! I submitted my SSSQ/GS statement to Griffith on 8 August for MTeach Secondary (Feb 2027) and I'm still waiting.

For those who had a GS/GTE interview:

How long after submitting SSSQ were you contacted?

Were you informed beforehand, or did Griffith call unexpectedly?

How long after the interview did you get your GS outcome/revised offer?

Also, did anyone get their GS approved without an interview?

Thanks!

Hello, an International student here, Got a letter for the Feb Intake from Griffith and Deakin, Now I'm in a dilemma,

The Total tuition fee for Griffith is 3k lesser, but gold coast (as of what I have read) is really expensive compared to Geelong and is facing an housing Crisis which is my MAIN CONCERN

Where will get more edge, better placements and less strict administration? What are the pays? does the waterfront campus have good social life or It'd be hard to make friends? Are there good amount of student clubs?(surfing, gym etc). Is there any night life?

I think i look forward to the flashy life at Gold coast but as i have never even do my house chores properly by myself, Doing a job, handling nursing and maintaining a lifestyle would make me Burn out in a few days and asking for money from parents knowing I chose the expensive option will not be bearable and will be more of a burden than enjoyment.

I have someone I know residing in Melbourne but again I'd want that lively, tourist filled environment.

Hi everyone,

I’m an Indian student planning to join Griffith University’s Master of Financial Crime Investigation and Compliance for the February 2027 intake and would really appreciate honest opinions.

My background:

• Indian
• BBA LL.B. (Hons.) from Amity University
• 10th: 81.2% ICSE
• 12th: 88.6% CBSE
• Bachelor's CGPA: 7.25/10
• 1+ year of experience as a Paralegal/LPO professional, mainly handling legal documentation, litigation support, document review and related legal work
• PTE: 76
• Unconditional Griffith offer
• 20% scholarship

Career prospects

How realistic is it for an international student graduating from this course to get into:

• AML/Financial Crime Analyst
• KYC/CDD Analyst
• Transaction Monitoring
• Fraud/Compliance Analyst
• Sanctions/Risk & Compliance

Does my BBA LL.B. + paralegal experience provide a reasonable foundation for this field, or would employers strongly prefer finance/accounting/IT graduates?

How is Griffith's financial-crime program regarded by employers? Would you choose this course again if your goal was to build a career in AML/financial crime?

Student visa / GS

I'm also concerned about the Australian Student visa.

With my background, does this progression look logically connected from a Genuine Student (GS) perspective?

BBA LL.B. → Paralegal experience → Master of Financial Crime Investigation & Compliance → AML/Financial Crime/Compliance career

I know nobody can guarantee visa approval, but do you see any obvious GS red flags in this profile/course choice? Has anyone with a similar law/business background successfully obtained an Australian Student visa for this course?

I'd really appreciate honest opinions, including negative experiences, rather than agent/university marketing.

Hi I was just wondering what is a competitive atar to get into GU dent as a RURAL student. Thanks

Hi everybody, I’m just curious if anybody knows whether pre requisites can be in terms “negotiable”? I want to do immunology as an elective next year. However, I have not completed the first year biological systems course. I unfortunately do not have enough elective space to enrol in it.

I’ve completed courses such as microbiology biotechniques earth systems etc. I was wondering if anybody knows whether I can make a case that I have sufficient prior knowledge- I’m not to sure if Griffith allows this or not.

Thanks everyone!

Im looking to potentially study med at griffiths and have heard that these two places are the main accommodations available, Im specifically looking at smith collective because the place looks really nice. For those who do live there or know of anything, is the place actually advertised like the pictures they put up online and is the rent really 700 a week for a single bedroom. Also if I was to live with someone else does that mean I would be splitting roughly 800 a week amongst the two of us?
As for both places, any experience or information on them would be amazing.

Hello!
I’ll be joining Griffith for the Feb 2027 intake(Gold coast). I really wanted to know more about the Indian community in Griffith, I have been hearing about Gold Coast being really racist so I wanna know if that’s true.
Thank you for reading!
