    Does anyone know if you have to fill out the usis details thing before you can get accomodation? It's just they ask you on the form where you are staying so how can you say before they have assigned on campus:confused:

    SIS registration is separate to the accommodation. Leave it blank for now if it will let you. You can amend it later on.

    Stay positive ! I'm about 1800 and still think I'll get it ;) Why ? Because of the 4 other people I know who applied for this 3 are not going to be going to UCD and they all had really low numbers! Theyll be loads in that same situation and other people who have to pull out for other reasons ! Good luck in September :D

    Aw thanks, I am really starting to panic because I have absolutely no clue about what to do if I don't get in (have you applied for other accomodations ?).
    I was pretty confident before, with the 'under 3000 = safe' that everyone/ucd website seemed to imply - but someone on this very thread :eek: said they called accomodations office telling them their number on the w.list was ~1350 and asking if they were likely to get a room, AND THEY RESPONDED NO.
    And now I'm freaking panicking again :p
    Anyway, IF offers are issued to people around my number (2296) when do you think it is going to happen, if you have any clue ? pretty please ? :p

    i guess if for exemple there are 700 rooms they send an email to 700 people at 4.00pm friday. then if the day after at 4.00pm only 50 people payed the deposit they offer the 650 rooms left to the 650 next people on the waiting list, etc...so it can take quite a bit of time until we get our offers :/
    fingers crossed indeed !!!

    Does anyone know what the story with the Ad Astra Academy Scholarships regarding on campus accommodation? It says on the letter that students who receive this will be given priority to on-campus?

    Have you tried emailing the accomodation office ? They usually respond within a few hours during working hours

    I have found a house near UCD. Problem is, I wont be able to afford the rent on my own. If anybody is interested in house sharing with a first year Arts student, please let me know ASAP. Thanks.:)

    Hi, I hope to get on-campus accomodation but am not so sure I'll get a room - which means I might have to find a room off-campus...
    Do you have more info about rent - how muuuch :p / wether the house will be furnished with beds tables etc ?
    :)

    (also a first year arts student ^^)

    Places will be offered from 16.00 I hear.

    http://www.ucd.ie/residences/studentpages/apply/cao/

    'As the ranking system is open to all CAO students it is our experience that even students with a ranking of over 3,000 on the list can get an offer of accommodation.'

    http://www.ucdsu.ie/site/view/1068/

    'REMEMBER: Offers are sent out daily so do keep checking regardless of the number you are on the waitlist - some people fail to get their points or get offered a different college so the waitlist numbers usually get up to the 3000 of those who get an offer.'

    That's what gave me hope (2294, wheepee -.-).
    ON THE OTHER SIDE, every time a student calls the office to ask wether their number on the waiting list gives them a good chance to get in they answer no :/ sooo maybe they just don't want people to rely on the list too much, I don't know...

    Thanks for replying.

    I'd say if you havent ac accepted your course then they wont offer you a place for accomodation. I honestly dont know but that might be how they work it out?
    What number are you guys on the waiting list?
