Is there a deadline for reg.

Modules can be changed up to the 21st Sept and then they lock. They will open briefly for Sem 2 so you can make changes but it will lock again.

The next step in registration, picking a "start time", is from 8am to 2pm tomorrow. Does anyone know what this actually means and if we have to have anything prepared for it?

EDIT: Nevermind, UCD registery just posted info up on Facebook. Here is the link to the explanation of the start time for anyone that needs it.

And do ya really not have an oven? :eek:

So I hear anyway! I think I'll get one of those counter top ovens. Apperantly they aren't that expensive and there might be a few people in the appartment willing to share the cost.

Are you guys going in everyday next week i.e Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday? Or just the days you have a specific course timetable for?

p.s anyone doing Radiography?:)

Im doing Radiography!!!See you wednesday!!

Hey.aw cool,cant wait now,not long to go

So what electives are ye picking? I'm hoping to do German but I'm not sure what I'll pick for my second one.

There is no list but this might help.
You can search by program or modules though it is time consuming. It is preset to look for only Level 0 or Level 1, unless you change it yourself.

So confused about tomorrow - what exactly are we doing? I've already handed in a form for my course - it's International Languages so I've already picked 8 modules, and I have 3 preset ones, leaving one to pick - and I'm planning on making that one linguistics. But is that all I'm doing tomorrow?
Can someone please explain this to me? :P

Apart from the modules and subjects, you have to register for Introduction to Arts (HUM....), and you can register for an elective too I think

But do I pick the modules based on different time slots, do you know? Because I think thats how HUM works but I'm so confused

Either you will be preselected for your lectures, or you will have to select them yourself including the linguistics one you are choosing. You will have to add on any tutorials associated with each lecture.
You can read this link, which is more set up with the Arts student in mind, but the selection is the same.

Oh that's a great thread, thank you! Do we have to do 2 electives though? My understanding was that we're given 12 modules to fill - 3 were selected for me and I had to pick another 8 in languages, so I only have one left.

As far as I'm aware, HUM is pretty flexible and is on a few times a day (or week), at least thats what it says on the timetable. For example, I've a History module on at the same time as HUM, but an hour later both HUM and the same module is on, so I'd just pick which order I'd take them in. I'd say that would be similar for you?

Oh yeah I get that, it's so handy But are all the things like that? I mean, seeing as we can choose when to do HUM, could you also choose when you want to take your history module? Or are the times set for that stuff?

I think some of the modules you pick the time you take them, and others you can't. You can check it in the 'Course Search' option on the UCD website, then when you view modules, when you click on the one you want, there may be a piece of info on when you can actually take the module
Its under the heading 'When is this module offered?'

Oh grand Looks like I'm using 55 inside and 5 outside then


Oh whoaaaaaaa there are so many times for each module :eek: I hope they're not all snapped up while I'm trying to get my head around it :pac:

Yeah, there's tons haha, still, its good as its flexible

I was just looking at the UCD site and it seems that Intro to Arts is mandatory, so you may have no extra credits to play around with. On a plus side, I don't see it being to difficult to pass.

Oh no I think I'm accounting for that - assuming 12 is actually the number of modules I have to take (12x5 credits) I have 4 French, 4 Spanish, 1 Intro to Arts and 2 Shaping Europe (no idea what that entails, probably a bit of history, but it's compulsory for me). I wouldn't mind not having any extra credits though, the huge choice is a little daunting haha, I never knew I'd have to pick an elective.
