Transitioning to your degree at Griffith University
The following information outlines how your Griffith College qualification is assessed for admission to Griffith University, as well as the application process.
Selection rank
Your selection rank is calculated based on your Griffith College program GPA. If you have completed your Griffith College program, see the below schedules to calculate your rank. If you’re not on track to receive a GPA of 4.00 or above, contact your Griffith College for advice. If you have received credit transfer towards your completed Griffith College diploma, then this will affect the calculation of your rank if you are applying for competitive or quota programs.
Meeting subject prerequisites and assumed knowledge
Some degrees—including laws, education, paramedicine and occupational therapy—have subject prerequisites as a condition of admission.
These are subjects—in areas such as English, maths and science—that you must have completed successfully in order to gain entry into a degree. If you have a packaged offer, completing your diploma will meet any subject prerequisites for your intended degree.
However, most Griffith degrees are based on assumed knowledge. This is knowledge you are expected to have gained through certain subjects at school and on which you'll be able to build at university. It is not required for your application or admission but it will make the degree's material more accessible.
If you want to change your degree, or are completing the foundation program, check out prerequisites and assumed knowledge to see what study meets these requirements.
Additional entry requirements
Some degrees also have additional entry requirements, such as the English Language Declaration for the Bachelor of Nursing. Information about these requirements are provided to Griffith College students transitioning to these degrees.
