ORIENTATION

WELCOME TO GRIFFITH COLLEGE

Orientation Day is all about helping you feel ready, connected and confident before you begin your studies.

Orientation takes place the week before your classes commence, with a range of activities and information sessions designed to help you settle into College life. You’ll have the chance to meet other students, get to know your campus, explore the Digital Campus and learn about the services and support available to you throughout your studies.

You’ll also receive important information about your course, classes and what to expect as a Griffith College student, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way. It’s a great chance to familiarise yourself with where everything is, find out who to contact when you need support and start making connections before your first day of classes.

If you’re studying online, you’ll have a dedicated online Orientation to help you feel prepared and confident before classes begin.

We’ll share all the details for your Orientation Day before you begin. In the meantime, you can find upcoming Orientation dates on our Key Dates page. We can’t wait to welcome you to Griffith College and show you around!
