Murdoch resources
Familiarise yourself with these handy resources to get the most out of your study.
Firstly, if you haven’t received your Welcome Letter with initial instructions, get in contact.
It is important that you’ve worked out how to fit study in your life. Each unit will expect at least 10 hours of study a week, and it is important to realise that you can’t cram this into a day or two on the weekend. Effective study includes spacing of your learning (and other strategies).
You also need to take note of the minimum computer requirements when it comes to online study. It will be impossible to succeed without a laptop or good tablet, and reliable internet connection. You will also need to check if there are any extra requirements for your studies.
Learn more about when you'll get your results, how to access a study plan, your census dates and more using our MyAnswers FAQs search page.
If your query isn’t already covered, you can also ask us a question.
myMurdoch is your student portal where you’ll find information on studying at Murdoch and the support available to you.
myInfo is where you can view enrolment, results and personal details. Please note that any changes need to be made through the OUA Student Hub. If you do change your contact details in myInfo, you will also need to make the same change in the OUA Student Hub.

Your Welcome Letter contains all your initial instructions on getting set-up, so make sure you get in contact if you haven’t received it. As mentioned above under ‘Getting Started’, if you’re new to Murdoch, your first step is to set your password and email address. You will also need to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) in order to access LMS and other Murdoch systems. If you would like further information on MFA, please read the MFA Frequently Asked Questions page.
Some access issues will be solved by contacting study@murdoch.edu.au. Contact IT Support if you have other IT issues. For information about other IT services available for students, click Student IT.
A pre-requisite waiver may be required if you have completed pre-requisite study with another institution. You will need to complete a unit validation request form.
Exams may be run in-person or online. Specific information will be available for your unit in myMurdoch Learning (LMS).
If your exam is in-person you may be required to organise according to the instructions for external students. Read more about external exams .
If your final assessment is an online exam, you must sit your exam at the date and time scheduled. Exam timetables cannot be adjusted, so you will need to plan for this. Timetables ensure that you have support available at the right time.
When undertaking an online exam, please make sure you finish the exam within the required time, or you may receive no marks.
