Postgrad my.tcd.ie

Have other postgrads received their email to access their Student Portal on my.tcd.ie yet? I understand the website says they are coming out in batches as and from yesterday, but I have fees due next Monday and the fees office told me I should have received an email by now, just wondering has anyone else got one or are people waiting? Thanks...

missdisco · 29-08-2012 04:58PM

no, i haven't got one either, and i really want it so I can relax and be less worried about it all. (registration and money stuff is so stressful, especially since i'm going away for a week next week)

head_honcho · 29-08-2012 05:05PM

Shame about that alright, maybe they'll be out to us by Friday...hopefully!

silenceisfoo · 29-08-2012 08:53PM

I received an email about 2 weeks ago about the log in details. managed to pay the first part of my fees as well. I haven't heard anything about when I am officially starting nor have I received anything from the Uni except how to pay my fees. Does anyone have any details?

KingKazama · 29-08-2012 09:49PM

I haven't received any word yet. The sooner the better.

Colonia · 30-08-2012 06:09AM

Me neither..

missdisco · 30-08-2012 02:26PM

anyone had any word today?

Jerrica · 30-08-2012 02:35PM

as far as I know there's no 'general' Postgrad info that's sent out, it's down to the individual courses so you're probably best off contacting the Course Coordinator or Course Admin. The teaching date for most taught Postgrads is the same as the Undergrads (24th Sept.) and all the details about Postgrad Orientation are on the General Orientation page: http://www.tcd.ie/orientation/postgraduate/index.php

If you're doing a Postgrad by research get in touch with your supervisor about it.

edit: sorry, I misread the OP, I didn't realise you were talking exclusively about fees

Not at all Jerrica, any additional info is always helpful, especially start dates etc, I have no information about these things as yet! I just mentioned fees because I won't have them paid by their due date because I can't get in to my TCD portal thing yet!

missdisco · 30-08-2012 03:10PM

yeah, i'm wondering about the portal thing. I'm a phd, teaching is over, i does as i pleases for now until someone asks to see work! :P

TheAmateur · 31-08-2012 10:25AM

Research masters student here. I had been told that the fee invoices would be available on my.tcd.ie by the 22nd of August. From what I can see at least, this form is still not available. Has anyone managed to get hold of one of these?

Colonia · 31-08-2012 11:28AM

well, I haven't even received my log in data for my.tcd, I am still only able to log into pac.ie.
Should I be worried? I have already asked per mail a few times about what is going on, and they always told me to just wait...

head_honcho · 31-08-2012 12:17PM

I can't log in to the tcd student portal yet, just sitting waiting on an email to let me start paying fees etc! Mailed the student fees office and she told me I should have received it, I mailed back I hadn't and still no word :rolleyes:

missdisco · 31-08-2012 01:12PM

has anyone had information? i'm still waiting on it.

silenceisfoo · 31-08-2012 02:28PM

Dies anyone know the actual starting dates? As far as. Anyone on the phone can tell me research postgrads aren't starting until the 24th September. Anyone any idea? Trinity halls is letting postgrads in in the 14th.

head_honcho · 31-08-2012 02:44PM

Not a clue when postgrads start properly, would love to know though, especially my timetable!

missdisco · 31-08-2012 05:54PM

did everyone else just work out from the post in the other thread that the my.tcd.ie portal can be accessed before you get the email, because the password is a date of birth.

head_honcho · 31-08-2012 06:35PM

didn't see that, did you try it missdisco?

Colonia · 31-08-2012 07:36PM

wow, this actually works!

username is your student id
password is your birthday in this format : "01JAN1990"

head_honcho · 31-08-2012 07:44PM

Tried it there but no joy! :rolleyes:

silenceisfoo · 31-08-2012 08:02PM

I was able to use the password that I used for my application.

Colonia · 31-08-2012 08:34PM

Ok now I am able to see the total fees, but I am a little bit confused. Dont they offset the deposit against the tution fee?
I just see the sum of the total tution fee + Sports Centre Charge + USI Levy + Commencement. Is this correct?

silenceisfoo · 31-08-2012 08:57PM

What do you mean by deposit? I don't recall paying one.

missdisco · 31-08-2012 11:46PM

i did try this, it worked. i'm sorta disappointed by tcd for not being more helpful. like, thank god i'm a google savvy person, cos i'd be so confused now otherwise, without this forum.

Cheers missdisco, it worked! It shows the option to pre-register but I think I'll wait to receive word for the college to do it.:)

Well I had to pay 500€ deposit in order to secure my college place. (Applied via pac.ie)

...

For me it seems like this is only a proforma bill yet, not the final one.

Ok thanks-I applied directly through the university. Going to phone on Monday to see what the starting date actually is for me.

head_honcho · 01-09-2012 02:15PM

Guys, I put in my DOB for password and the page came up asking for security questions and to confirm new password :cool: did any successful people see this page?

moorele · 02-09-2012 11:17PM

I logged in with my PAC number & DOB. When I clicked on the my finances tab & looked to see what fees i have to pay I have my course tuition fees, usi levy & sports charge. The €500 deposit I paid earlier has been taken off the overall cost. So the overall total is just over €5K. What I'm wondering is, there's no registration fee (student contribution charge). I think this is about the €2K mark. Have they forgotten to invoice me for this or do I not have to pay this as I'm paying full fees as a postrgrad student? I'll be delighted if the fees are less than I anticipated but I reckon they've just forgotten to include this contribution charge. Anyone enlighten me?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe there is no student contribution charge for postgraduate students. I did a HDip last year and didn't have to pay it, just the course tuition fees, usi levy and sports charge. So the figure you are seeing there is correct.:)

Registration is done online, and new entrants can collect their student cards from the college during the week beginning September 10th. There is an 'orientation' meeting for new postgrads on September 14th.

For most taught courses, classes begin the same week as the undergraduates' classes I believe, so that is Monday 24th September. From what I remember, a lot of taught Master's courses don't tend to change radically their timetables from year to year, so it might be worth dropping your department an email to ask, even just for an indicative timetable (although things are crazy at this time of year, so be prepared to be ignored!

)
