Public holidays

Murdoch observes some public holidays on the day they fall and so there’s no general teaching on that day. Others are not observed on the day they fall and so there is general teaching on that day; instead, these public holidays are observed during the end-of-year break during the University's limited service period.

Make sure you know...

When your study breaks are, the assessment period in which your exams will be held and when your graduation ceremony will be held
When your fees are due and when your unit results will be published.
