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.
Online registration for undergraduate students will close at 5.00pm on Friday, 23 September 2016 so please make sure you have completed your registration by that date. Otherwise, you may incur a registration re-activation fine of €250.
Make sure you register to enough credits and drop any extra modules you are not planning on taking. The ‘Free Fees’ scheme will only cover you for the standard amount of credits (for the majority of students this is 60 credits per stage). If you have repeats/resits, make sure you register to them online.
After 23 September, any changes to Semester 1 modules will need to be made by your Programme Office.
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.

What you need to know
If you have applied to SUSI for a grant there is no need to contact UCD about it as SUSI will tell us if your application is successful.

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 located in the Newman Building, Arts JK Area (Outside Theatre L).
Remember to confirm registration and 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 2016/17.
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.
