Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity

As a student at Murdoch, you are expected to complete your studies with honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility—we call this academic integrity.

Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100) is an interactive online unit that provides an orientation to academic integrity at Murdoch University, which is found on the dashboard of your LMS. You will be automatically enrolled in MAP100 in myMurdoch Learning at the beginning of your course or if you resume your studies after a break.

All undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students are required to complete MAP100 within their first semester or trimester. If you do not complete MAP100 in your first semester or trimester, your academic record will be encumbered, which prevents you from accessing your final grades for all units.

MAP100 consists of a series of five modules that cover the different aspects of academic integrity. Each module contains information and activities to help you succeed in your studies.

We recommend that you complete MAP100 as early as possible in your studies to get the maximum benefit. You can choose whether to complete all five modules in one sitting or complete them individually at your own pace. You should allow approximately a half hour per module or 2-3 hours total.

Throughout the five modules, you will:

  • discuss why academic integrity is important for study and future professional practice
  • demonstrate an understanding of the expectations of the academic environment
  • explain the key concepts, principles and practices of academic integrity
  • identify and reflect on your motivations for studying.

At the end of each module, you will test your learning with a multiple-choice quiz. This consists of ten questions and can be taken more than once (a new set of questions will appear for repeat attempts). You must complete all modules and score at least 8 out of 10 for each quiz to complete the Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100). Upon completion, your results will automatically be updated against your student record.
