Should we be able to log into the my.tcd.ie portal yet?

Incompetent

Sort of wish there was a general thread to ask this but I don't think there is

Anita Blow

Nope. Registration/Re-registration hasn't begun yet

polka dot

As far as I know, not yet. You should get an email telling you when you're able to log in.

I just got an email about it from the academic registry, so check your emails

Yeah, mine does. I imagine it'll stay that way until we register.

Continuing students haven't been given access yet either.

This is the first year that registration is online (until last year, you had to pay at the bank and get the form stamped, then bring it to college during Freshers week where you registered with pen and paper). The portal has only been created now, we had a different (awful) one before that.

Expect some delays/bugs/problems while they're sorting it out... They keep emailing everyone's TCD accounts to remind us to check our emails - but haven't told us anything other than "We'll tell you about registration via email soon"!

I'm a continuing student and I can log in and see everything.

Interferon Gamma

I'm a continuing student and I can also log in. Also you can pay for commencements already.

(AHH I'M IN FINAL YEAR AAAAH)

Just about 20 mins after making this I got the email :rolleyes:

All up and running now

FloatingVoter

Going into fourth year and they're already looking for money off me on the mytcd thing. Funny that, I still have a deferred exam to do on Monday. They must have faith in me.
Seriously, it will make a difference to us evening peoples (if it works).

Mine literally says nothing on it. I still have to actually renew my grant (and I have to sit repeats too ) so they're being very generous with me.

I hope they know I'm getting a grant anyway. I need my results from repeats to apply for it, but I thought I needed to show I'm getting a grant to register? Doesn't make sense. Since nothing's showing up for me I hope this means I'm ok...

Here's hoping.

languagenerd

Oops. Nevermind, I can see it now. Couldn't last time I tried, so I was waiting for an email (after all the emails telling me I'd get an email :P). Maybe it won't be as bad as I predicted! :pac:

EDIT: I have to pay for Commencements now?! I have a year to go before that... (I'm SS now, but still, they're assuming we all pass the year... :P)

Following formal acceptance of a course offer, additional functionality will be displayed in your portal account.

Please note that if you have already accepted your offer of a place via CAO no further action is required on your part. Your status on my.tcd.ie will be changed in due course.)

It's still not fully functional. It seems to think i'm an incoming student on the homepage but strangely has the correct details in the "My Finances" tab. Once it's up and running properly, it looks like it'll be a much better portal than what we had before. Now all they need to do is allow phones/tablets an easy way to connect to WiFi and allow us to remotely access get/put folders and they'll have solved almost all the major annoyances with Trinity's IT services.

Ah. Mine's just a home page tab and that's it. I'll just wait til it finishes fixing itself.

Does anyone know when students admitted through PAC (i.e. postgrads) will get this portal account and thus, be able to pay fees?

gavmcg92

Last time I checked I couldn't log in. Will try again.

bscm

I just logged in after a while loading... it asked some security questions and I was able to see the My Finances tab. Don't think I'll log in again until I get the email but hopefully that'll be soon

Postgraduate registration is from August 28th onwards according to http://www.tcd.ie/orientation/registration. I presume we will get our details prior to this at some stage.:)

I've had the email saying that my.tcd.ie would be the facility for payment, at which point I tried and failed to access it, but I never got an email saying it was accessible so I hadn't tried to access it since.

I tried tonight on a whim, got in, and it says I have to pay by the first of September!

Is this an actual deadline? I have to pay by EFT so it's unlikely to get there in time.

If no one has any information, it would still be helpful to know what stage other continuing students are at. I had no idea that I'd be hearing nothing and then end up with less than a week to transfer the money. Madness.

Just noticed the due date as well. I doubt it's accurate seen as I have yet to receive an email from the college.

Yeah, I noticed that this morning when I was faffing about on the site just checking it out. I just paid it to be safe since the deadline has been the 1st September every year previously. I'm sure they'll email anyways to let us know.

languagenerd

Eek, I hadn't noticed the due date til now! I was planning on waiting til they notified us before paying anything (in case it wasn't fully functional yet and it didn't go through properly).

They can't seriously do that, can that? I mean, a lot of people probably don't know they can even log in yet (I only found out via this thread, I'd say most of my classmates don't know).

FWIW, there are a few more tabs on it today than there were last time I logged on. Looks like it's still being built. I have a "TEST" tab too.

Phareon

Just wondering which details did people use to sign into the my.tcd.ie site? I can't seem to gain access with either my myzone, trinity gmail, or college network accounts? They all have the same username, but different passwords (of course). Or should we have some sort of new account? I haven't received any sort of email about anything either, just wondering since people have mentioned payment and deadlines, and it's got me a bit worried!

Yeah I noticed that test tab too... I also have a 144 euro "commencement" fee on my account which seems odd seen as that is generally for graduation but I'm only going into 3rd year.

I'm a new student but for me it was:
username: TCD student number
password:date of birth in day/month/year format like 10JAN1987

I have that too, but I'm a 4th year. Still wasn't expecting it though! It's a bit early to be paying for graduations!

You should try contacting Admissions or Student Records about that...

Found this on the commencement fee.

Richieee

Is that not saying that those in their final year can get the fee refunded if for whatever reason they cannot graduate? Unless I'm wrong it doesn't seem to apply to those in other years who are paying the fee.

Edit: You edited!

Yeah that's what I thought after I posted. However will I be paying more next year? It just seems weird that I'm paying for my graduation in 3rd year.

Ciara 5

I'm going into first year so the my finance tab is asking me to put in my banking details. Should I do this now or wait until I get an e-mail telling me to?

The link said the fee applied to students graduating in 2012/2013, so I assume that means anyone not in final year was charged the fee by mistake.

Hmmm. Is it definitely the network/local access password for continuing students? I can't log in using anything I've tried, then again I've been away for the last year so it's probably expired...

It's probably expired in that case. That happened to me just before the exams, couldn't use anything local access until I could get to college to change it.

Try using TCD Password Manager to change it (though I had problems with that because it wouldn't accept answers to my security questions, even though they were all numerical, so couldn't be spelled differently or whatever). Failing that, you'll have to use a college computer to change it - assuming you're in Dublin :S

Namlub

I was able to log in a few days ago but I just tried again and it didn't work >_<

Jammyc

So yeah, I'm not going to have that money by Friday. I'm going to go with "I was given no notification to log into the portal and check my fees status, so how was I to know?" 199 euro at a few days notice? Joke.

Tears in Rain

Em...I log in and I don't see anything that shows what fees I should be having to pay...the My Finances tab just has an 'Enter Bank Details' thing...should I have to do that first?

Edit: this is what I see when I click on the My Finance

My portal is asking for 2335 euro by 1st September Good thing the bank approved my loan on Friday if they are being serious

Had a message waiting for my in the portal today saying I could access the payment-form-thing... but no email yet again

Any idea when tutors/timetables will go up?

partyatmygaff

You'll find out your tutor in the first week or two of september. As for your timetable, it's the first year they've used eVision portal so no one knows what will happen. Last year, I received a timetable during fresher's week.

That said, if you know someone who's already in TCD and has access to the old student information system, they should be able to pull up last year's timetable for you (They usually don't change from year to year). It may not be straightforward for courses without a fixed set of modules though.

Anita Blow

Mine wasn't finalised til a week after we started back. Wouldn't be expecting them soon.

languagenerd

You'll get a probably get a letter in the post about your tutor in a couple of weeks (unless that's changed too).

New students used to get their timetables when they got their college network usernames during Freshers Week and continuing students got access to theirs around the 10th of September. But no-one knows how it's going to work with the new portal.

Only in certain courses! In courses that involve lots of small groups, lot of optional modules or lots of tutorials, then the timetables can change hugely from year to year. TSM timetables, in particular, are completely different every year.

Only large courses with more lectures than tutorials and where everyone takes the same modules can stay the same, otherwise it depends on numbers, staff and room availability.

um. Should I email back and say I don't have one? or ask why I don't have one?

I am a continuing student...

EDIT: well that's kind of small. It's an email about going into the My Finances tab, that is still not there.

This is beyond ridiculous. I sent them a message about my "commencement fee" and I got the exact same email as you. They didn't even look at my question.

They're not being very good at emails lately, regarding anything.

I've just sent an email to the treasury office. Hoping they will take a little more time to read my email. I hope the due date is wrong on my form.

Lawliet

Someone from my course got a reply about the commencement fee:

"Commencement is for your graduation. It has been decided that trinity will take this off students at the beginning of 3rd year. It pays for the day and reception of your graduation.

You should have received a letter from trinity and email about the changes to payment ? Did you not ?"

No one I know has received a letter, the email about the changed doesn't mention it, and the FAQ about commencement which was updated four days ago says it's just for final years.
What the hell are they doing?

Anita Blow

Thats a bit unreasonable asking for it in 3rd year? Do they have an excuse?

I got a letter from them but it was literally just a print out of the email that was sent to us. Neither the email or the letter mentions the commencement fee.

EDIT: Will we be expected to pay this same fee again at the start of next year?
