Single Sign-On

What is single sign-on?

Single sign-on (SSO) lets you access Griffith College applications and services by logging in just once, using your Griffith email and password. We've now moved to Microsoft Entra ID (Azure) for more secure and reliable access.

Through SSO, you can access Moodle, Papercut printing, Library Services, Zoom and other college applications.

Logging In – Step by Step

First Time Setup – Microsoft Authenticator

When you log in for the first time, you may be asked to set up the Microsoft Authenticator app. This is an extra security step.

What you'll need:

  • Your mobile phone or tablet
  • The Microsoft Authenticator app (available free on Apple App Store or Google Play)
     

Setting up Authenticator:

  1. Download the Microsoft Authenticator app to your phone
  2. When prompted during login, select Add Authenticator
  3. Choose Work or school account
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your account
  5. You may need to approve a sign-in request on the app when you log in

Once set up, the Authenticator app will help keep your account secure. You only need to do this once.

Your Login Details

  • Email: Your Griffith email address
  • Password: Your college computer password
     

This applies to both learners and staff.

Important Reminders

Always log out

When you're finished using an application, log out properly. Don't just close your browser. This is especially important if you're using a shared computer.

Logging out:

Look for the sign-out or logout option in the application or click your profile icon and select Sign out.
