Quick question,wondering if I missed it,but is there an Induction day for us entering directly into 2nd year of a course? Undergraduate shytle! Or do we just turn up for class on the twentieth? Also the timetable is well confusing, damn real college

You should get information of a brief induction with your course co-ordinator and whoever takes charge of second years on your course.

We had two advanced entry students last year and they literally just turned up to the first class and then our first tutorial we did the whole meet and great thing.

Anyone get any different info on their letter?

Yeah, I'm a postgrad and I got my registration letter today. It didn't say anything about an info evening - must be just for your course. All I got was my student email, password etc. Anyone else get their letter this morning?

gamblitis · 07-09-2010 8:40am

Ok registered (payed the €1,500) and got the pack and all the rest. Now when do I pay for my fees? I don't get free college so I need to get those sorted asap. But I can fins swa on the topic on the website. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

cmurphy24 · 07-09-2010 1:38pm

Hi
I'm supposed to be doing a post grad course but got no information regards registration or induction yet, any one else in this situation?

Mr Yellow · 07-09-2010 1:52pm

@KidKeith89 - cheers man. Yea, the info evening is relevant to th epostgrad i will be doing!

@cmurphy24 - I shot off an email to registration.service@dit.ie to inquire about such details outlining I will be doing a postgrad. They replied stating a letter has been sent out....which i am still waiting for, probably sent yesterday or this morning.....hopefully!

I'm doing a masters and I got mine yesterday. But one of my friends who's also doing a masters got hers last week! So don't worry about it; they must be sending out one course at a time. The letter doesn't really provide a lot of info, it just gives you your student number, e-mail and pin, so you can register online. I didn't get any info on induction or student card collection. (The student card collection times are on the website.) You'll get yours soon I'm sure. If you don't get it by the end of the week I'd ring the registration/postgraduate admissions office and enquire about it.

I'm in a similar position and I rang registration today and they told me they'd send me a bill in October.

StinkySocs · 07-09-2010 8:05pm

This is the biggest joke!

I got an email yesterday (the 6th Sept!!!!) evening at 4pm, advising that the registration was on the 1st & 2nd of Sept...or alternatly 6th or 7th and I would have to pay my FULL fees (€1,300) on registration!

I rang the course co-ordinator, she said, no that's wrong, you can come in anytime, they'll give you an invoice and pay whenever...happy days!

So I rang the reg office to confirm, they said no way! You have to pay the fees and register at the same time. I told her I didn't have the kind of money hanging around and could I pay it the wk of the 20th, no she says, she's too busy then! We agreed a date.:rolleyes: I asked how should I pay it....by Credit card, I'm like, my card doesn't have that kind of limit:(, it's a student card! Can I pay cash....NO!!!!!

I don't even want to do it now, such pooines!:P A little more then 24 hours notice wouldn't have hurt!

I

By that I take it you have a credit card but the limit is not that much?
If you put the money on the card, your card will be in credit so you can put the payment through.

StinkySocs · 07-09-2010 10:12pm

My credit is €850 :eek:

I was trying to pay for car insurance before on it which was nearly a grand, but it wouldn't let me, AIB scum!!

Ya I'll get a draft or a grio, won't be too much more hassel

Oh the joys of going back to college.....

Yeah but I've partially completed a degree previously. The Welcome talk today cleared up a lot of questions I had so I think I'm sorted. Cheers though.

If you have the cash you could try using your Laser/Maestro card like I did.

The registration office in Kevin Street is also open on the 2nd of October (Saturday) from 10-12. I over heard one of the ladies yesterday evening saying that people could pay then too. Also I think you might be able to pay for each semester individually, which might lessen the blow.

DIT seem to be seriously unorganised this year. I got a letter from them stating how much each module would cost. However I never recieved any information about how many modules I would actually be completing each year, so I had no idea how much I would need to pay. Had to chase around for ages trying to find out the correct information.

I have to collect my student card on the 23rd (going into second year), but don't classes start on the 20th?

Or will i start classes the following week?

Classes start on the 20th alright. You don't actually need your student card to begin your classes so you'll be fine collecting it on the 23rd. Until then you'll just have to pay full rates for your cinema tickets....
