Its what it says on the tin! If anyone has some minor UCD related difficulties post away and I will try assist if I can. I am sure others can help also. With 5,000 newbies there is bound to be some problems. Hope I can help.

The answer seems to be that 3rd years CAN take 1st year modules. But everyone keeps saying I think.

gubbie

No I'm sorry 3rd years can not take 1st year modules. Someone may only take a module from the year above or the year below or the same year. You may only take a 1st year module if its a language

Its one of those grey areas that UCD has many of.

I never got my giro in the post so I had to physically go into admin to get it. I then went to Astra hall to get my student card but I was told by a rather attractive lady that I cannot until I have my fees paid. Kinda sucks doesnt it.

My main grievance is that my blackboard only has 7 of my 12 subjects for the year on it. What should I do?

Give them a bit more time, some courses may not have been registered etc.

Else email computing services who'll forward on the problem.

/edit...woops false alarm

Does the 7b go by the campus at all, or anywhere within reasonable walking distance?

I dont have any subjects up on my blackboard but im registered properly. Who can I contact to sort this out?

Thanks for any help given

I am not sure of my 7's but one of them goes to Donnybrook about 12-18 minutes walk from UCD. Another one goes to Ballsbridge about 20-25 minutes walk from UCD. I get the one of the 10's one of the 46's and the 145 to UCD, I am never waiting more than 5 minutes in the morning.

Rafadagaffer

Ok thanks anyways, 46a it is then.

Hi!
Could anyone tell me what "week" it is please.
It says on my calendar that it's week 4 yet it says week 1 commences on 10 September! The whole regestration process is really doing my head in!

Well Monday is week one. Every week from there on counts, so the first week of semester 2 is week 20.

Alright, thanks. Think I underand...
It does say its week 4 though. Anyway, it means I don't have the tutorials I thought I did tomorrow.

Anyone know if you need Student IDs for the student bar tommorrow?

Such is the logic of UCD, 'tis week 4 but really, its week 1. Your lecturers should fill you in on all the tutorial stuff in your first lecture, but yeah...tutorials normally don't start till the second week afaik.

Admin building, just across from the arts block

Stepherunie

I know someones answered this before but I can't remember what they said.

Anyone know how to check your printer credit from a laptop?

Dave!

Dammit.... I thought I had mondays free, but i just checked my calendar now and it seems i've been automatically assigned to a practical today.

It was for COMP20010 (Data Structures and Algorithms I think)... Would it have been on? Considering we havent had a lecture yet, like!

Anybody go to it? What did I miss?

GFs sister went to register in UCD today and the English (1st Arts) is full.

How can she get into it?

If you haven't had the lecture it's very doubtful there would have actually been a practical on. I was around for most of the day anyway and didn't see anything in the second year labs, so you'll probably be ok. My guess is that they won't be on until next week after you've had a few lectures.
It can be good fun, DSA. Especially if Aaron Quigley's doing it - his pracs are often interesting and fun to tackle

Dave!

Cheers man

Basically keep going back every day. There's always a good chance of people dropping out of the course if they get a higher CAO iffer or something.

Just copy it to Microsoft Excel. Change the printing setting to 'Landscape'. Print the document.
