Step 3 (a) - Adding units to MyInfo

Now you are ready to add your units to your enrolment record online using MyInfo.

What is MyInfo?

MyInfo is the web interface to Murdoch University’s student information system that can be found within MyMurdoch, our student portal. By using MyInfo you can self-manage your enrolment at the University. Some of the options MyInfo allows you to do are:

• Update address and contact information
• Update course completion details (graduation time)
• Enrol in your units
• Sign up to your Activities (tutorials, laboratories and workshops)
• Withdraw or discontinue from a unit
• Check and pay your course tuition and administration fees
• Check your results each semester

How do I find MyInfo and how do I log in?

To find MyInfo, goto MyMurdoch, your portal to Murdoch's online facilities. The next screen will require your Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password. Your Murdoch Username is your Student ID Number and you would have set your Murdoch Password during the Online Response System process in Step 1. Once inside MyMurdoch you click on the MyInfo link (in the top red strip). On the MyInfo page there is a "MYINFO LOGIN" button which at this stage will require you to login again (yes, we are working on that!). Before you start, make sure that you have your completed Study Plan, for all semesters, or trimesters if appropriate, for the year beside you to remind you what units you are enrolling in.

Go to MyMurdoch

The link above to MyMurdoch will open in a new window so that you can still follow the steps below. Alternatively the following information is also available in your "Enrolment Information for New Students booklet"

Check Personal Details

Once you are in MyMurdoch, click on the MyInfo page. Your Personal Details are listed here and you will need to check that this information is up to date and make any changes within MyInfo as necessary.

Enrolling for 2009

OK into the good stuff now! Log into MyInfo and click on the Change Enrolment Details menu item and then Self Enrolment Steps. Read all of the information on this page of MyInfo and then scroll down to the Self Enrolment Steps heading.

Starting with the Disclaimer, work your way through each of the steps. Each step has an explanation of the process so please read each one carefully.

• Disclaimer – Statement concerning your use of MyInfo and adherence to the University’s legislation.
• Services – Your opportunity to join the Student Guild as a financial member and access their many services and faculties. You can also validate your Transperth SmartRider if you are a fulltime student.
• Government Statistics - A number of questions which are used to either profile the Murdoch student population or provide assistance to you where highlighted.
• Course Completion Date – Keeping the university informed when you are likely to graduate.
• Unit Sets – Your method of adding or amending unit sets (Majors, Minors, Programs or Graduate Specialisations). You will need to have at least one Unit Set recorded as your Primary one. . Some courses will already have a pre-populated Unit Set, others will require you to select one before you can select your Units.
• Units – This is where you add your new units. Use the Search function to find the unit you want. You can also just type in the first 3 alpha characters to list all of the units with that prefix.
• Commonwealth Assistance Form (Domestic Students only) – This is a Commonwealth Government requirement. To complete this you will need your TAX FILE NUMBER (TFN). If you do not have your TFN handy you can come back to this step later, however students who have not completed this step by the Census date will have their course cancelled as per Commonwealth Government regulations.

Once you have returned to the Self Enrolment Steps main page, all items that you have successfully completed will be flagged with either a 'Green Tick’, which means that you do not have to come back to these, or a 'Circular Arrow' which means that you have successfully completed this item but can also come back and make changes at a later date.

Also to ensure that none of your Units have breached any enrolment rules click on the Current Enrolment Details menu item and then Course and Unit Details. Then click on the link next to 'Units'. This will list all of the units that you have attempted to enrol in. Please pay particular attention to the 'Status' column to ensure that the units that you wish to enrol in are flagged as 'Enrolled'.

If you have units flagged as 'Invalid' this may mean that you are in breach of an enrolment rule. An enrolment rule breach may be a result of your Advanced Standing not being approved yet. The Accreditation Office will issue you a letter to confirm your Advanced standing once approved.

In other cases invalid units may occur as follows;

• Overload — Have you enrolled into more than 14 points in a semester?
• Early Enrolment in Part II unit — Have you enrolled into a Part II unit before completing 18 points at Part I, including your Foundation Unit? (take into consideration any advanced standing awarded.)
• Waiver of Prerequisite — Are you enrolling in a unit for which you have not satisfied the prerequisite?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions you should correct your enrolment or gain approval from either, the Faculty Student Administration Office, Program Chair or Unit Coordinator. You will need to complete the appropriate form on the Faculty Student Administration Office web site.

If you are having trouble adding either Units or Unit Sets within MyInfo, jump ahead to Step 5 where our first year student Dirk has developed some handy videos that demonstrate how to complete both of these tasks.
