    No books, just take some notes and most material is on web courses or you will be given it in class.

    There are books - and a small number of them should be avaiable through the library - it may just be a case that you do not require one all the time.

    A tablet will pay for itself over the duration of the course purely through savings in not printing out lecture notes. But a laptop or tablet would be a great help, but not necessary as you can use the library computers for alot of that stuff.

    However, and this is based upon my experience, if you are getting one or the other for the first time get a laptop, ideally a smallish netbook. I say this as the screen, while large enough to work on, is too small to really get stuck in a vicious youtube loop :D

    Personal choice but I don't see a need as there was not a lot of note taking needed. Accounting and Quats will require the Maths notes and for other subject's they will say if you need to take it down as 90% is online.

    I didn't need a single book during first year in 2012/13.

    Your in for around 15h per week, the timetable has had for the last two years 1 day off, usually a Wednesday.

    The Link above is for both first and second years. Look at all the info and it says 1A and 1B, use this and you surname to work out the hours. A-O is 1A and M-Z is 1B.

    The year is boring but make sure you don't fail any exams and best to do make a effort in Accounting and Quants as you will have them again in 2nd year.

    Induction will take place the week beginning the 8 September. Access or Dare students are usually the Thursday/Friday.

    Also just an example from the link above Information Technology 1 is listed 4 times, 2 for class A and 2 for class B. This is because each class will be split in half as the labs won't be big enough so attend the first classes to get your preferred choice as it can be the difference of going home or hanging around for hours waiting.

    How will I know if I'm in 1A or 1B? My surname is M and it says that 1A is A-O (and M is there) and 1B is M-Z ?? I don't get it??

    Sorry meant A-L and M-Z. My name was with an M and I was 1B so expect your the same.

    I read online that letters should be received on the 28th and 29th of this month! Also the school of business will contact you directly about induction times or something (all of this is on the website somewhere)

    Doing the same course and I was worried they never sent me out a letter and that I wouldn't be getting in at all!

    Ye last Friday they sent out a letter with my student ID and pin to register as well as my DIT email address and username. Yesterday I also got a blue welcome pack with a lot of crap in it like a student diary, a DIT pen, a lollipop and a couple of other things.

    I might just go to it for a few hours each day and then head home because the timetable for it seems like a long week.

    registration is the next step after you accept your place from the CAO.

    It is important but it is online so you cant "miss it". Once you are registered you can get your ID card etc.

    one part of online registration is either paying fees or providing your grant application details - thats it. If you are still waiting on the approval of your grant you just provide your grant application details. Your SUSI application is completely independent of any college. You apply and you get approval - and you inform the college if you have approval.

    If you can go to your induction. It is worth it. It is a chance to ask any questions etc before the other thousands of students hit the campuses. Some inductions are compulsory - especially for Grangegorman.

    Basically for anyone who is still waiting on approval of their grant application you can register and start your classes no hassle.
