Where is the security office on campus? The key broke in my bike lock last May just before going home for the Summer, and I had no space in the car so I decided to just leave it there. Moved back down to Limerick again today and surprisingly it's still there after the Summer.
It was locked at the front of Kemmy under the slightly roofed area so it's not really rusted either.

Just need to get the lock cut now somehow. :P

As far as I know, it's the room beside stables arch that isn't the post grad room, other side.

I lost my student card on campus and it ended up in the security office. It was the little hut with the two barriers where there's guest car parking

That's where I thought it was, reserved parking sign on it confused me as I thought it was just some place to maintain the car park.

So, all graduated and done and dusted. A friend of mine then made a video with photos and videos of the last four years... it just makes me wanna go back and do it all over again

Will be starting an evening degree (one year to complete) second week in Sept - how easy/hard is it to get free parking?

Lectures are in the Kemmy building (Tuesday and Thursday starting 6pm).

Fairly easy. Should be spaces in the Schumann car park or at a pinch the east gate car park will definitely have spaces.

The carpark at Kemmy is staff until 6 as well and usually starts to clear out at 5 iirc. Dunno if you'd get caught parking there at say 5.50 or not though

Ah, it's only free after 6 pm. Yeah, it'd only be 5 minutes or so - might be worth the risk unless I see a tow truck circling around

Nah, they usually dont tow. First offence is a ridiculously big sticker they put on a window that can take weeks to get off. Second offence is clamping I think

Yeah - I've seen those stickers. Could always roll down the window until the sticker is pealed off. Be grand, balmy Irish weather and all.

Ah its grand, if you get stuck then make stuff up, they'll neither know nor care. As long as you take them to the main areas listed. If you get equines tomorrow, tell them that Bridget and Arkins are legends but Amy is a cow and don't be afraid to report her to aforementioned legends if she's being mean

oh and free food!

Yay! Positive feedback! Was gonna do it again this year, it was great craic but I didn't know if I could and it was too late to apply by the time I found out.

Aragneer · 31-08-2015 07:55AM

Oh it's orientation today... I completely forgot, explains why pushing through crowds was even more difficult today!

Also, do they get smaller every year? :P

Aceandstuff · 01-09-2015 12:03AM

How did you manage to get the Orientation jobs? I applied, got a phone interview, was rejected. I'm just asking to know if there's something specific they look for in an applicant, in case I go for it again.

On the other hand, I'm an "International Buddy" and only one of the four students has replied to my emails. Am I... supposed to do something about the others? (I'm responsible for their free coffees, why won't they talk to me?

)

If you don't hear from them in weeks, you should maybe just mention it to the one who organises the buddy system to check in with the student. I was an International Buddy last year and my buddy took ages to get back to me. She also did everything on her own and I never met her because she just kept cancelling, in the end, she didn't really need me.
But at least you have one that replied!

I noticed during the orientation day on Monday that the Foundation building car park had signs saying it was Staff only parking. The signs looked like temporary signs pulled out of a store room for special occasions. Didn't notice any clamped cars but saw some notices under the windshield wipers. Anyone know if that's a permanent change or will it stay public?

Its meant to be becoming a paid carpark. I'd say that the parts you saw will become staff (there was some staff parking there anyways) and the rest will be paid

Any way to view your transcript at the moment? Obviously can't on normal portal, but there doesn't seem to be a link on the test portal now either.

Daniel S · 03-09-2015 07:30PM

Anyone know the story with repeat rechecks and Erasmus? If you get an exam rechecked and you go up to what you need, which you'd know by the 25th September, would that be too late to still go?

iLaura · 03-09-2015 07:37PM

Anyone who applied for PVA this year have the details for how to respond to the RSVP for the ceremony? I seem to have lost my letter from them and Gabriella surprisingly isn't sending out emails about it.

pvaceremony@ul.ie was the email I sent mine to. Just said, "I'd like to confirm my attendance along with two guests" etc.

Grand job, thanks!

Repeat results are online

FlyingIrishMan · 04-09-2015 11:12AM

**** yeah. Passed both of mine, was certain I failed one of them.

Anonymagician · 04-09-2015 02:39PM

Can anyone access student mail? I haven't been able to for a day
