Hi,

Just wondering what is involved with Registration and Orientation days in UCC?

thanks!

Stephen Esquire

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.

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?

Am hoping to start a Masters in September, so just wondering about registration

Stephen Esquire

Yup, according to the website you should recieve them by the 28th, this coming Friday.I want mine dag nabbit, I need my student bank a/c!

Mario007

just wondering will the grant cover me for the registration fee? or would i have to pay it in full and then get it refunded once i get the grant?

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."

I have a mature student work shop/orientation thing on the 3+4th sept...

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

i'm a smiler

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.

still haven't got my pack, most of my friends got theirs at the start of the week though....

therealdeal

me too! but i then went on to the UCC website and it now says 'students should receive their packs by tuesday sept 1st' grrrrr!!!

Same As

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

plinkyplanky

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.

Zonda999

Had my reg/orientation yesterday. you'd want to be there for 9 alright, or else you'll be late into the opening lecture thing, at the end of which they put you into your course group. Boring enough day i reckon but it was nice to meet the people you'll see for the next four years on your course!

Cant wait for freshers week now!:)

Skapoot

You dont have to turn up for orientation.

But if you do, be on time because they'll be sorting you into groups etc.

I didn't bring it with me on the day but you will have to show it to someone in admin in the west wing because they will hound you with an e-mail. i didn't show mine yet and i'm going into second year i could be any age for all they know it was pure laziness on my part though i should have shown it!

If you want to get your student card the day of the orientation, you'd want to bring your birth cert or passport. It says so in the registration booklet you got in the letter.

I don't have my long form birth cert as the VEC currently has it as part of my grant application. Will I be fine if I just bring along my Passport?

DO NOT get that damned MiCard, tried using it last night at hillbillys to get my free chicken. Not even one of the employees had ever heard of this **** card.

CZ 453

Thats cause they would rather pocket more of your money.Its on the website anyway so they have to accept it

ALincoln

Unfortunately, you do not become privy to this secret until you are a seasoned fresher, but the MiCard is utterly worthless.

Why so?

Because everything you can get with a MiCard...YOU CAN ALREADY GET WITH A STUDENT CARD!

Flash88

Anyone here starting first year this year already having done 3rd level before?? You have to pay an extra 5500(ish) euro in fees!

Ricky91t
