Academic Support

Since our foundation in 1997, over 25,000 students have successfully passed through our Griffith College campuses and on to their future endeavours.

One of the key areas we focus on is academic and teaching support. We have a fantastic team of experienced teaching staff and Student Learning Advisors who are always on hand to provide you with the support you might need. Whether it’s improving specific skills, creating a study structure, or learning to manage your study load, we are here to help.

Throughout this time, we have developed valuable insights into the challenges students might face during their studies, which has enabled us to tailor a comprehensive range of support services.

Please see below for the academic support available to you as a Griffith College student.

Lecturer Consultation

In addition to small, interactive classroom sessions, all Griffith College lecturers and tutors are available for face-to-face student consultation on campus for approximately one hour per week per class. If you experience any difficulties with a particular course during your studies at Griffith College, you are encouraged to meet with your lecturer/tutor.

Assignment Help

We understand that assignments can seem overwhelming, especially if you haven’t studied in a while! For this reason, we have Student Learning Advisors available throughout the trimester to help you with research, preparing a draft, structuring your essay and referencing. Simply make an appointment via the Digital Campus at a time that suits you (current students only).

This program ensures students possess the core skills of mathematics.

This program ensures students possess the core skills of mathematics before moving onto further maths and science study in their diploma and bachelor programs. It is a prerequisite for the following programs:

• Diploma of Engineering: Mathematics 1A, Mathematics 1B, Engineering Science
• Diploma of Health Sciences: Chemistry of Biological Systems I
• Diploma of Science: Mathematics 1A, Chemistry 1A

The mathematics support modules are a free component of the diploma and are compulsory unless you can demonstrate maths aptitude in a “Maths Ready” quiz at orientation. Students are given a maximum of two attempts to successfully pass this course.

These modules enable you to develop your English language skills in a participatory learning environment.

If you are an international student entering your program with the minimum English language requirement, you will benefit from two free and compulsory Language Development Modules (LDMs) as part of your diploma program. The LDMs enable you to develop your English language skills in a participatory learning environment, integrated with academic courses to support overall achievement in those courses.

The modules include two hours of face-to-face instruction per week, plus three hours of online self-access. Successful completion of the two modules is required to graduate with a diploma.
