    I just accepted European Studies so UL here I come :D

    Congrats! That's my lovely course. I have some first year notes if you need them... and the sociology books. My main advice having just completed 1st year European Studies would be to make yourself familiar with the Language Resource Area... http://www.ul.ie/~lcs/languageresourcearea/
    Located in the Main Building - A1-077. I found it very helpful! Also, the language departments organise meet up sessions for anyone studying a language to practice conversational language. There are always some native speakers at these gatherings so it's very beneficial as well as being a cool way of getting to know people.

    Thanks for all the detail rmacm.Not sure if I'll make it through (I'm more of a crammer than a consistent studier) but it'll be an interesting year nonetheless :)

    You can cram too it just makes life a little more stressful. You're better off working consistently as you'd be surprised at what will come back to you at exam time.

    So far it's unreal here! Everyone seems sound and I know my way around the outside of the buildings fairly well! One quick question. How do I register my electives?

    Ok, I cannot register my electives or my UL email at home, or can I? Will tomorrow be ok to do all that, even though I have a german elective on in the morning? I don't think I could sound more like a first year if I tried! :o

    Registration won't open until tomorrow morning (if we're lucky) on this website
    http://www.si.ul.ie/urd/sits.urd/run/siw_lgn

    email can be accessed off campus at
    https://exchstudent1.ul.ie/exchange


    If it's on the course timetable all you need to do is turn up.

    Yeah you can register from home if you so wish, it's done through the student records system and you can access that over the web from anywhere.

    http://www.si.ul.ie/urd/sits.urd/run/siw_lgn

    You don't need to register your UL email, you should have gotten your account setup during your first day of orientation. You should be able to access it over the web by going here: https://exchstudent1.ul.ie/exchange

    Login with ul\<id_number> and your password, which is apparently your date of birth according to ninty9er (unless of course you were a sensible person and changed it).


    beaten by a FF'er what's the world coming to :pac:

    Complex passwords were introduced last year and must be changed on first logon....so yes...they're all sensible now:eek::eek:

    Date of birth password doesn't seem to work for me.

    nope, no joy. I'll ring ITD tomorrow and see what the sotry is because my birthday, default 9999 or my new Student record don't work. I never logged on to the UL email yet either.

    Hmm if you have an ID card just swipe it through one of those card reader PCs and it should reset your profile and password back to what it originally was.

    The default isn't but the replacement must be at least 8 characters and contain 3 of:
    • Special characters (!"£$%*? etc.)
    • Capital letter
    • Number
    • Lowercase letter

    Thank God it's not retrospective....I know people that struggle with their ID number in 4th year!!


    @ jkeire....make sure the month component has a capital first letter. If you don't have an ID card you don't exist on the system and UL knows nothing about you....you are invisible.
