ID Card collection

lumpwood

Its more likely that places will stop accepting them than give a lifelong student discount tbh. Not the best move getting rid of the issue date!

i think it has to do for the length of your course, doesn't it? someone mentioned that to me today, so we mustn't get a new one next year. am i right on that?

yer man!

Yup you're right and also the pictures are screwed up this year as they are very long and very thin so the person in the picture is squished, dunno what was wrong with the old ones, they can build buildings all over the place but then skimp on the student ID by issuing one for you're entire cousre and increasing the replacement fee.

Fairly sure most places already do course long ID's, I know DCU does.

I heard somewhere that everyone except first years can collect their id cards between 9 and 12 on Friday in the concourse.

did they not change the collection point to the Orbsen building? i had to go there today to collect my ID.
just to add, you can collect it on friday without being charged the €30 fine. any time after that, you will have to pay.

This, they took the photo from the old student card and increased the height without adjusting the width. I look like a fookin horse on mine.

And yeah, as has been mentioned they changed the collection point to the Orbsen building(without telling anyone apparently, I only found out cuz my flatmate happened to be walking by and saw them inside.)

It could be in the Orbsen,I just think it's crazy how they didn't bother to tell us,obviously they just want to collect a sh*tload of fines.

Wait, for first years it's the 15th onwards?

1st Year Undergrad Students

Please check out Registration Dates or the registration handbook for dates of when you can collect your card.

Your Student ID Card can be collected on the 1st Floor, Aras Ui Chathail (See Campus map http://www.nuigalway.ie/campus-map/).

You just need to bring along your birth cert or passport and your PPS number as we have to have a look at these before we can issue you with Student ID Card.

didn't realise you were a first year. check your handbook for the dates to collect your id

Our ID photos have a serious case of the skinnies....

pphheerroonn

is everyones photo messed up? All the ones I've seen are. Kinda bugs me...

christina_x

God they are awful at contacting students. firstly there was no notice about ID collection, then on the website it told me to go to moyola (nursing), where there was nobody there. Then they changed it to the orbsen building so i went there who sent me to aras ui cathail, and they told me nursing wasnt out until next week!:rolleyes:

Can you change your photo after you've uploaded it? Mines not the greatest, could I just bring in 2 passport photos on the day?

If it's already uploaded then they might have already printed the card... tbh, it's a student ID card, nothing all that important anyway

Hey I just saw this thread now.
Just a couple of questions.
Do they give you the ID instantly? I am going to this thing 2moro that requires student ID.
How much do you have to pay for the late fee?
Thanks

Yup, all the ID's should be printed and organised into year/degree lists so it won't be hard to find it. I'd assume late collection is from Aras Uí Cathaill, in which case, if for some reason the card already isn't printed - they'll print it for you there in a matter of minutes.

The late fee is €30

poisonated

Thanks. Ah it's still worth not having to get the bus up and back from Dublin hungover.

Seeing as I wasn't able to register until tonight, they can go hang if they think they're charging me 30E for a card :mad:

joeKel73

Haven't heard of anyone getting charged a late fee for this. I called down a week or two late... was just passing the desk of cards in the Orbsen building and asked the girl at the desk if there was one there for me... there was! I'm 1st year postgrad, but returning nuig student.

Lukker-

Haven't collected mine either, but my friend collected his late today and the image was sideways and he just gave them another passport photo and they didn't charge him a late fee.

NewApproach

I picked mine up in the Aras Ui Caithail today, and there was no mention of a fee. I'm a 3rd year student fwiw
