Go to http://isservices.tcd.ie/portal/ and login as a student. From here, you can check your student profile, exam results, timetables etc.
If it doesn't work its because you have to sign up for the service with IS Services first.
PrecariousNuts - what do you study?

John

register on the TCD portal part of the local home page and then login and you can get your timetable.

I got two 4000 word essays, a 2500 word essay and two lab reports. Nearly finished one of the 4000 worders.

Just checking my timetable now...

Chick

You obviously weren't following.. he was "thinking of it" iirc

David19

I thought it was more like he probably was. Afaik thats what his posts implied. But fair enough.

ApeXaviour

Any more pegs I can take down?

Agent Smith

Good memory, but yes, I'm still considering it, I have until the 30th January to decide. I probably will go back, I'm not sure where I'd like to travel to, and by the time I'd have it all organised and such it'd be May anyways. And if I don't travel, then I'll end up staying at home and getting depressed, so it's best I fill my time with something.

In short, I'm still weighing it up.

David19

You could always finish the year and take the whole of next year out? I'd do that but I've already wasted one year in college.

I don't think so really. I have some personal reasons for wanting to drop out, and by the time October comes around, they will hopefully have been resolved. But definitely, once I graduate (IF I graduate!) I'm taking an *extended* gap year.

Chick

whats all this business I hear about re-registering?

You've to re-register around the 13th or so of January, in order to get the second part of your fees paid for by the state.

Final date for re-registering is the end of the month. Kinda handy cos if you drop out, you only have to pay half fees...

Chick

But do we have to pay reg fees again?

David19

No, you don't pay a reg fee again. If your paying the course fee for the year(about 5gs) and you only payed half at the start of the year then you pay the other half. I think thats right anyway.

Chick

Oh ok thanks, I was just wondering.:)

sleepingbeauty

i have a couple of maths assignents to do but meh ill do them the weekend before we go back..im really not in a 'study' kind of a mood at the mo so theres no way im doing them now..its all good

re-reg...woh totally forgot about that, i have no idea where i put that letter...ah im sure someone in my course will no when we have to re-reg..im in such a breezy mood at the moment

snorlax

does anyone else find it really hard to concentrate/ attempt to study during christmas holidays? iv an essay and exam due directly after xmas but im finding it mad hard to get anything done.
i went into the libary the other day and only just survived an hour. it was like Belarus or something, not a soul to be seen! only people in Hamilton were postgrads.
i wish we could just have holidays completely off and didnt have to be worrying about study/assignments etc. hopefully 3rd year will be easier!

Yeah its hard enough doing assignments during the year, nevermind doing them at christmas with all the festivities and alcohol. I have about four assignments myself and i haven't even looked at them yet.
You're right, down with christmas assignments!
Anyway im off for another beer...

Probably best you harbour some contingency hopes..

snorlax

i live in hope! why what year are you in?

ah yes the wonders of xmas assignments, every year its the same with being left with loads of work to do.

stoopidkid

I've a stupid Chemistry test a week after I go back.. which would be fine if I actually had a clue what was goin on and had done it for the Leavin Cert.. It's bummin me out! My labs have been switched from morning to afternoon.. I think I'd rather finish early than stay in bed for an extra hour?!? Nollaig Shona

Pet

You're new.

If you're a first year, then that means I have a test too..which I don't know about. And I did chemistry for the Leaving, but barely understood a bit of it, so I'm equally ****ed!

Chick

I was a chemistry kid too but it's completely useless to me now!

wait no... i had one piss easy lecture on chemistry as part of some biology thing...
