CAMPUS CAR PARKING
|
What you need to know
From mid-August eligible students will be able to apply online for a parking permit for the academic year 2015/16. The UCD Parking Permit will be an electronic permit based on the car registration number and will cost €50 for the academic year. Purchase of a permit will not guarantee a parking space on campus. UCD Parking permits must be used in designated car parks and will not be valid in hourly paid parking spaces. Clamping is in operation in UCD.
Parking charges apply (8am-5pm, Monday – Friday, excluding bank holidays) during Semester 1 and Semester 2. Outside of these hours, all car parking is free of charge.

EMAILS FROM UCD

The University uses email as an official means of communication with students and provides a UCD Connect email to each student for this purpose.
What you need to know
In addition to the UCD Connect email, communications will also be sent to the personal email account for all students who have provided a non-UCD Connect account.
What you need to do
Go to the ‘My Profile’ tab in SISWeb and check that your personal details are up to date.
If you don’t want UCD to use your personal email address, you can tell us using the ‘My Profile’ tab.
