So what free stuff have people gotten who have already had their orientation?

Aftershave....despite the fact that I'm a chick.

Oh and a lollipop, condoms and a Stinger bar. Strange combination.

Had orientation today. Had a good time and got all the subjects I wanted.

Some handy freebies like the Hot Press magazine, lollipops, condom, pens and vouchers

And I can't forget the hangover pills. I took one that day - it really dries you out. Drank about 2 litres of water in an hour!

CZ 453 · 11-09-2009 9:23pm

Yeah.I had to pay 1650 + 4400 tuition

Anyone here starting first year this year already having done 3rd level before?? You have to pay an extra 5500(ish) euro in fees!

Yea I've got a 7000 euro bill for my troubles of going back to college. Did a course when I was fresh outta the womb of secondary school 4 years ago in CIT. Hated it and dropped out after a few months. Didn't think much of it at the time until January this year. Gutting.

Anyway I've orientation on Friday. I'm still waiting on a loan to be OK'd by bank so at the moment I have no money to pay for registration. What should I do? The banks reckon it'll be another 3 weeks before anything gets to me.

Yep Im startin again too. "Fresh out of the womb" two years ago.

Had to pay 5070 altogether, but I'm paying it in halves. If thats any easier for you? paying half now and half in January...

Id say go into your credit union and get a loan. They wont **** you around, interest is great and they give it to you when you need it.

wait till ya register, but i'd advise you to wait for the academic presentation in the afternoon for your timetable etc, which means you'lll have to be there for the whole thing

TanG411 · 12-09-2009 8:11pm

I'd say you should stay until you officially register. Then leave after that if you don't feel like going on a library tour or listening to a lecture on plagarism

GERMAN ROCKS · 12-09-2009 8:29pm

what time would be 1. be finished regestering and 2 finished completly

TanG411 · 12-09-2009 8:38pm

1. Finished registring is when you receive your student card. You also get a load of freebies like the ones mentioned above.

2. finished completely depends on your course. For Arts on Friday it was half 4 I think but I left at about 3:45. There was a lecture on how to take notes and how to reference. If you don't know how then you should stay for it. I didn't bother.

GERMAN ROCKS · 12-09-2009 8:41pm

im doin arts too. where is the best place to park for monday. also what part of ucc should i go to.

I haven't a clue about parking, sorry

. I'm sure you'll find a spot along the way.

On Friday everybody was just outside the library which is pretty much the centre of the campus. Just hang around there.

Oh yeah, be sure to get there before 9. Trust me. You don't want to be late and then having to find out where all the 1st years are gone to.

you should have gotten an email from ucc i think. print that out. with regards to parking you can park in ucc but its damn expensive.

GERMAN ROCKS · 13-09-2009 8:34pm

i got no email.

Mario007 · 13-09-2009 8:46pm

could someone help the dude here? cos my parents registered me since i was away and i can't exactly help him and it seems pretty urgent

captainspeckle · 13-09-2009 8:50pm

when you paid, a page saying sucess came up and codes and batch numbers on it. if you have this printed this is your proof of payment.

GERMAN ROCKS · 13-09-2009 8:57pm

i have a page with confirmation of registration

Homicidal_jesus · 13-09-2009 9:00pm

also on reg day they can check on the computer for you as it will say when it recieved your payment

that should be grand so.

TanG411 · 14-09-2009 12:07pm

They never asked me for a proof of payment. I just handed them my confirmation of registration letter and they said that was fine

I had to show them my passport because I wanted to get my name changed.

Flash88 · 14-09-2009 4:38pm

Anyone know where I can go pick up my ID card?
I wasn't given mine when I had Reg part 2 as I hadn't paid my tuition fees at the time(wasn't aware I had to pay them) but just paid up there.They said I could collect it when I had it paid.

Sent them an email but its too late to ring now.

Go to the Student Records and Examination office

Heres the link http://www.ucc.ie/en/records-exams/

Flash88 · 14-09-2009 5:00pm

Brilliant boy , nice one!

Byron85 · 14-09-2009 5:03pm

Anyone know if we get a personalised timetable as such? Or do we just use the normal program timetable and work out our own subjects from that? Nothing was mentioned to me today about timetables at all.

Nova_era · 14-09-2009 5:06pm

In all of your initial lectures, you'll be told where and when your lectures will be. Some departments will print up a timetable personal to that (your) class, while others will expect you to note the times and venues.
