    Orientation

    • Learn all about UCC and how it works
    • Complete Registration Part 2
    • Get your student ID card
    • Hear about the various student services, academic and personal systems in place for students
    • Attend academic information sessions specifically on your programme of study
    • Locate you College/Faculty/School/Department offices and key personnel
    • Find you way around by taking a tour of campus, the library, Brookfield Health Sciences Complex and the Mardyke Sport Arena
    • Attend academic workshops of your choice, throughout the day
    • Meet your Peer Support Leader



    Registration Part 2 coincides with your allocated Orientation day (see Orientation Dates. *This is the day you officially become a student of UCC and receive your student ID card.*
    The following is a list of documents that you must bring with you to registration.

    1.

    Confirmation of On-Line Registration (which you must print*after completing*Registration Part 1)
    2.

    Birth Certificate (long or short version acceptable). Note: only original / certified true copies are accepted (A Certified True Copy is a photocopy of a document that has been authenticated by a Solicitor or Garda).* Married students wishing to register in their married name must also bring their Official Marriage Certificate. (Registration Certificate, not Church Certificate).
    3.

    Passport if you wish to register in the name on your Passport.
    4.

    PPS Number (available from www.welfare.ie).
    5.

    Evidence of Fee payment, if fees are paid by Bank Giro (Bank Giro receipt).
    6.

    Letter of grant award from your Local Authority/VEC (if applicable)
    7.

    EU students with a school leaving qualification other than the Irish Leaving Certificate must bring original examination certificate to the Deputy Admissions Officer,*Admissions Office, First Floor, West Wing*before On-Line Registration.


    All Info taken copy and pasted from the UCC website

    Sorry to hijack your thread, but have people received their registration details/packs from UCC yet or does anyone know when we should expect them?

    All I remember from Orientation was an information OVERLOAD. Highlight was a 40 minute lecture on plagiarism. Followed by, " Oh, and Collusion, thats also not allowed. But Law students are generally to mean to collude, so lets move on."

    Three years on, my brother still has a YFG bottle opener on his keyring. It's some handy yoke. He literally never leaves home without it (not just because it's attached to his keys).

    Also, on my orientation day, will everything be done in the one day, or will I need to come back another time for, say, Registration Part 2 or something?

    Basically you just listen to a load of old fogeys giving you them same auld spiel that anyone could give, if you are any way intelligent you will realise that there is no need to be listening so you will quickly turn your attention to picking out who you want to roide in the class

    Patience is a virtue!

    You won't get a booklist as such, once you begin Lectures you'll be given a Course outline for each of your modules, on this you will find the text books recommended by the Lecturer for that module, not entirely neccessary to buy all of the books though, they are mostly all available in the Libraries.

    I'm waiting as well :pac:. Kind of annoying really. I was hoping it would come within a few days of accepting my course on the CAO which was the 12th.

    Might have a look at the YFG thing also.

    Most of the information freshers need is on the UCC website, here mainly.

    This includes the days which each individual course register and have their orientation, probably what most of you are looking for - here's the link for ye - Orientation Dates

    here, quick registration/orientation question - for the alloted day, are we actually required to be there at 9am, or what?
    That sounds extra stupid now that i've written it down actually.. just it's not clear if we can wander in from then, or if punctuality is required!

    It starts at 9 with a talk as far as I remember.They put you into groups too depending on when you arrive although if you're there too early,you'll miss that.

    I was there at 8 last year and they hadn't set up yet so don't be there that early.
