    Yeah, I know it says that but apparently a number of houses aren't fully available on 31st of August for some reason..?


    I got my Orientation stuff in the post today and I was wondering if anyone has enrolled online yet? I have set up my account for the si.ul.ie and logged in but all I'm getting is "You are not currently configured to receive any portal content.
    (no MRG records)". Is anyone else the same?

    Yep I'm getting that message too, was gonna ring them but haven't got around to it yet.

    I've sent an email to ugenrolement@ul.ie just there. Probably won't get a reply until tomorrow as they close office at 5.

    Send the lecturers an email to ask if there's any other time you can attend. Usually with labs/tutorials for a bigger class, there are several times.

    Could I do this now or would it be best if I waited till Orientation week?

    You could do it now. You probably won't get a reply right now but it will stay in their emails and they can reply whenever they get back.

    For the lab, I have 3 different professors (I assume it is as it's left blank), who do I contact? Module is ME4111, Engineering Mechanics.

    Actually, never mind. I found another timetable (First Year Timetable) and it's shorter but it doesn't include the labs or tutorials. I guess that would be sorted after you've registered in Week 1.

    I rang them this morning. They said to try again around 3 o'clock since it was due to a lot of traffic.

    Still not able to get in so we rang again and were talking to another one. She said the online system wasn't set up and ye'd get an email or text to tell ye. I was able to enroll but I'm a post grad, but my sister is going in to first year and had the same problem as you guys and that's what we were told.

    Still not 100% sure what the right answer is, but it seems that it's not up and running yet for undergrad enrollment and some form of message will be sent out when it is.

    Definitely isn't due to traffic as I signed up a few weeks back after I got my deferral offer. They haven't got it sorted yet so I'd imagine we'd have to wait then

    Yeah, it seems to be that they just don't have it set up yet. Your one didn't seem impressed that I was told my sister could log in later in the day so I think the one this morning had no idea what was going on so made up a plausible sounding answer :D

    Book of Modules (http://outside.ul.ie/BookofModules/Default.aspx) is your friend here. Look up the module code and it'll tell you who the module leader is - that person will be the main contact for that module.

    A quick search shows David Newport as your lecturer. I would try him. Staff emails are just their name with a dot in between with @ul.ie at the end, so his should be david.newport@ul.ie

    Ahh, the URL parser decided to include my closing parenthesis as part of the URL. It's fixed now.

    Just to follow up on this, UL will send you an email or text letting you know that you can enrol online.

    Says in the orientation handbook on page 8 at the bottom.

    "Online enrolment is available to all full-time Undergrads. All students will receive an email and/or text message inviting them to enrol online. The process of enrolment is split into two stages. You must complete Stage 1 in advance of Orientation and you must complete Stage 2 during Orientation."

    I thought I was the only one who was getting that no MRG records message. I was wondering if anyone has done the online finance task yet, because I can't get the link. Does that have something to do with the portal not being active yet?

    For step 2a do we enter our ID that we got on the letter and then the generic password they gave us as the password? Or do we do that somewhere else :pac::pac:

    Yep, and then after you put in the generic password they'll ask you to enter a new password for yourself and then your date of birth.

    Yep, saw that but we thought it might be ok since I was able to enroll. Obviously we'll just sit and wait as the book tells us :P

    Has anyone who's booked accommodation on campus been told which village their going to yet? I've gotten the text and confirmed it and just received a letter in the post today inviting me to an open day but have still no idea if I got my first choice or not. Is this the case for everyone else or did I miss something along the way?
