COMPLETE YOUR REGISTRATION
|
|
What you need to know
Your registration is your responsibility. It is very important that you get it right to ensure that you have access to your modules in Blackboard and that your timetable is correct.
Please confirm your registration to your programme by 1 October 2015, if you have not already done so, to avoid being liable for the registration re-activation fine of €250.
Graduate Research students – contact your Graduate School if you have any queries about your module registration.
Online module registration for most Graduate Taught students closes at 5.00pm on Friday, 25 September (11 September for UCD Smurfit School students) so please make sure you have completed your registration by that date including any repeat/resit modules you need to take. After 25 September, any changes to Semester 1 modules will need to be made by your Graduate School.
If you drop a Semester 1 module on or after 16 October you will have to pay fees for that module.
You will have an opportunity in January 2016 to change your mind about your Semester 2 modules. Keep an eye on the key dates page for updates.

GET YOUR UCARD

What you need to know
If you are a new student and haven't got a UCARD yet, you can get it from the UCARD Bureau (JK area in the Newman Building). Remember to upload your photo online before you go to collect your card.
If you are a continuing student, once you have confirmed registration, your student card will be valid for 2015/16.
Remember to keep your UCARD with you at all times as you will need it for identification purposes, for access to UCD services and to sit your exams.
