Leave of Absence
There is a 'one stop' site available for students considering taking leave of absence. This provides information/links on the implications of doing so, the procedure involved and the application forms required, plus the official university policy. It can be accessed here.
Withdrawals
A formal withdrawal policy/procedure was approved at Academic Council in December 2011. This is outlined in detail here, with a summary of the main points here. It mostly has the effect of giving formal recognition to existing practices and procedures, with the main points for consideration remaining unchanged (except for students withdrawing on a temporary basis). These are as follows:
An information page for students is available here. This provides an overview of these and other issues, as well as outlining other options for students who may be considering withdrawing. Students considering a temporary withdrawal now have to apply for leave of absence, and should consult the leave of absence site, as above.
Creating Student Records
We create records for Visiting Students. These are students from other institutions who undertake research in UCD for a period of six months or less, and who receive no qualification or award*. They are required to register as students while they are here. If you need assistance in this area, please contact us.
The bulk of student records are created from information held in other databases and uploaded into Banner e.g. the CAO, the Online Applications system. For assistance in this area, please contact the Admissions Office (http://www.ucd.ie/registry/admissions/) The Staff SRI (Student Record Information) Form is another means by which records can be created, and is generally used where information cannot be uploaded e.g. students do not apply via Online Applications for a particular course of study. Please contact the Programme/School Liaison person for your area if you have any queries in relation to this – details can be found here (http://www.ucd.ie/registry/adminservices/psl/index.html) *Please note that Visiting Students also appears as a category in the Online Applications system, but in that case it refers to a different type of student - students who apply for Erasmus and other exchange programmes. Their records are uploaded from Online Applications.

Student Statuses
Student StatusesThese are guides to the statuses used in registration, the category of student that they describe and the effects that they have elsewhere e.g. on students’ fees, access to services etc.Explaining Registration Statuses - short guide UCD Student Statuses (reference document) Research Subject for Graduate Students
All Graduate Research students must be registered to their relevant Research Subject(s). This research subject identifies the academic area in which the student is working and, hence, the School to which income will be allocated. Staff in Schools/Graduate Schools should check their students’ registration and amend if necessary to ensure that they are registered to the correct Research Subject(s).
Updates & NewsRegistration Changes for Semester 2 - Resits/Repeats & Mid Year ProgressionThese changes take effect on 20 January, with the students concerned being e-mailed on that date as well. A summary of what’s involved is available here. Module Registration for Semester 2 - Change of Mind WindowThis opened on 6 January, and will close on 27 January at 5pm. January Start RegistrationThis has been open since 12 December, and will close on 29 February. Any student who has failed to confirm their overall registration by then (Phase 1 of Registration) will have their record cancelled at that stage. If they wish to register subsequently, they will need to pay the re-activation fee of €250. The only exception to this is students who still owe fees from the previous academic year, and are unable to register as a result. They will still need to have paid those fees in full before they can register. September Start Registration - Cancelled StudentsThese students had their records cancelled in October, if they had failed to confirm registration by then. If any wish to re-register at this stage, the procedure is the same as with the January start students i.e. they will have to pay the re-activation fee of €250, unless they owed fees from 2010/11. Planning
Reviews of registration are currently taking place both in Admin Services and in the wider university, with a focus on improvements that can be implemented for 2012/13.
