How assessment works at Griffith University

Where does the assessment plan on these Griffith pages come from?

From the course profile for the trimester each guide names. Section 5 of a Griffith course profile is the assessment plan, and any mandatory pass component is written into it by the system rather than by hand, so the profile is the document our tables are checked against.

What is a mandatory pass component at Griffith?

Griffith's term for an assessment hurdle. A mandatory pass component sets a minimum level of performance on a task as a condition of passing the course, usually to guarantee a core skill or to satisfy professional accreditation. Program directors are expected to keep their use consistent across a degree.

What are study days and when are trimester exams?

The academic calendar sets aside study days between the end of teaching and the exam period; in June 2026 the study days run 1 to 3 June and Trimester 1 exams from 4 to 13 June. Guides covering an exam place it within that pattern.

How does the seven point grading scale work?

Griffith grades each course from 1 to 7, with 7 the highest. Your GPA multiplies each grade by the course's credit points, sums the products and divides by the credit points completed, so a 7 in a 10 credit point course weighs the same as a 7 in any other 10 credit point course.

Is AskSia affiliated with Griffith University?

No. AskSia has no connection with Griffith University. The guides are independent study materials written from each course's published information, and every figure states the trimester it came from.

Past exam papers at Griffith

Whether Griffith students can see a past exam paper is at the discretion of the course convenor, who may upload it to the Learning@Griffith course site or share it another way; the University suggests writing your own practice questions when none is released. AskSia guides do not host papers. They set out the exam format from the course profile by question type, beside the assessment plan, with a worked example marked stage by stage.
