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 6 October 2016, 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, 30 September 2016 (16 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 30 September, your Graduate School can make registration changes to your Semester 1 modules.
If you drop a Semester 1 module on or after 21 October 2016, you will have to pay fees for that module.
You will have an opportunity in January 2017 to change your mind about your Semester 2 modules. Keep an eye on the key dates page for updates.
