Anyone know if the medical centre is open next Thurs/Fri?
And will the doctor be in Fri! There's no answer on the phone and I need to make an appointment!

A little question if someone can help me..
Im looking at my timetable and it shows codes obviously for where a lecture is on [e.g. JH3 - I know where that is though, just an example ] but, I have no idea WHERE the codes mean.. i've been told theres a part of the nuim website where you can actually click in and see exactly where lecture halls and stuff are but I have exhausted myself looking for it. Im pretty sure i've looked all through the handbook and website and everything but im just not seeing it at all at all. Nudge in the right direction appreciated

It'd be too easy to put that information on the maps page or in the handbooks so they put it in the examinations section of the website.

Pretty sure the doctor doesn't be there on Fridays! And it's bound to be open next week seeing as it's pretty much the start of the semester. Well I assume so :P

Ah, yeh that makes absolutely no sense, you would probably want to know your way around the campus well before you take an exam Thanks a mill irish_goat, I appreciate that!..

Many congrats to those who've just graduated!

Did we ever put to bed the whole thing of whether or not you can take an un-equal amount of modules in semesters? I remember something along the lines of there being lee-way of 2.5 but each third year geography module is worth 5 ECTS.. Also, there's no compulsory module in the 1st semester but there is in the second (thesis module) so could I do 20 credits worth of classes in semester 1 and then 10 credits (5 compulsory, 5 optional) semester 2? I know that looks like a big discrepancy between the two semesters but it's only taking one extra class. I tried to ring the records office there but they must be on their lunch or something.

I don't think it really matters when modules are timetabled for a particular semester.
So if you have choice for elective modules then it shouldn't matter which
semester they're in as you have a choice
and you should be able to arrange your semesters as you see fit.
Unless there's an either/or scenario then you won't be able to take both.
It's just simple logic.

I've never heard of people having to adhere to a 30 credits per semester rule.

I'd agree with this.
I know a guy who talk all his history electives in Sem 1 (15 credits - meaning 22.5 credits in Sem 1 and 7.5 credist in Sem 2) and no one had any problem with that

Hey,

I see that we've got until the 30th Sept to register online. If I leave it until next week or so to register, do I run the risk of being left with crappy modules or will it make much difference at all?

If you're registering for modules that have capped places then yes tbh. All the good ones will nearly have already been filled up!

girlonfire

Thanks
I'm doing a major/minor so have 40 compulsory credits for English. So I assume as they're all compulsory, it makes no difference when I register for that subject? If that seems like a ridiculous question, apologies:rolleyes:
I know it'll affect my minor subjects as the modules don't appear to be compulsory.

ontour

Anyone know what you do if its not listing enough modules to total to 60 credits? I can only get 55 credits and cannot register

Are your minors capped though? if they're not you'll be fine?

If they're compusory you'll defo not have a problem!

I've discovered 10 credits are compulsory and 10 aren't so I've relaxed more about holding off until next week.
Thanks for your help XxMCRxBabyxX. Appreciate it!

Does anyone know if the gym is open during first year orientation week?

LeixlipRed

It never closes during the summer.

XxMCRxBabyxX

I've just found out that my brother is going to be living in the exact same room that I did in 1st year. This is just weird....
Mullin 5 ftw!

Duddy

Cad é an scéal with getting to North Campus from South Campus? I have tours there tomorrow and I usually went by the footbridge(;_; ).
Is all the construction work in the way or can you duck round it and nip across Kilcock Road?

Norrdeth

Use the pedestrian crossing, that's what it's for.

Duddy

Ah cool, just making sure that you could actually access it, I peered down the last day at graduation and could only see masses of lorries, cement and tea-suppin workmen in the way.

Norrdeth

Haha, yeah I could access it grand last Tuesday, not sure what state it's in at the moment.
You'd hope it would be up and running for orientation/freshers tho!

Wouldn't want the firsties to be inconvenienced now!

Duddy

Ofc not! I have to be in JH at 8.30 (AY EM) to meet the little bastards. THEY'LL BE SHOWN ROUND LIKE THEY'VE BEEN SHOWN ROUND BEFORE.:P
