@ townend
Did you register online yet!? You dont need the reg pack to register, i didnt get a pack yet, but i registered online. If you havent get it done asap, they might offer your place to someone else!

townEnd

How do you register online??

ledzepkickass

http://www.nuigalway.ie/registration/

Thats the page, download the pdf registration guide, that tells you what yo do

townEnd

its asking for a user id and password?

ledzepkickass

thats all in the guide that you can download. Your username is your cao number, password is galway with the first 4 digits of your date of birth,
so if your brthday was today, sept 1st, your password is
galway0109
The pic is a passport style photo, you can email them that later or upload it right away, but register right away!!! Read the guide, its the resgistration guide thats linked on the page

EDIT:
Heres the guide http://www.nuigalway.ie/registration/Students/2010/1st_year_undergrad.html

they will not offer your place to someone else. you've accepted your place with the CAO and have til the end of september to register so no rush

ledzepkickass

if you want your student i.d, youve to register in the next few days , i emailed them a few days ago, youll get away with registering after but its no harm to sort it now, theres gonna be enough stuff to sort when youre starting there, get what you can out of the way

moonandstars

got my reg pack today at last!! still have to sort out back to education before i can register

mick.m

Got 425 in the LC. Just got accepted into undenominated engineering, as did a mate of mine. Delighted!

Sharing a twin standard with said mate in corrib village. Hoping to move down there on the monday before orientation, eh whats that? The sixth I think?

Anyways, congrats to everyone who got what they wanted, will probably be seeing a fair few of yis next week anyway. Roll on the CRAIC!

Undenominated science is (imo) the closest thing to arts in that there'll be so many in lectures and stuff. You'll have no trouble making friends, there's LOADS of others in the same position.

Things get even easier once clubs/socs start too

Do you have to upload a photo or can you send em the original in the post or something. Does that mean I've to get a passprt ptoho taken and scan the photo to upload it and e-mail it etc. Is there rules like the ones for your passport eg. you can't smile and girls must have their hair behind their ears??

musical.x

not to sure but they want a passport sized photo so you might have to get some taken!

ciano1

I just took a photo using a regular camera in a passport style ( White wall as a background, not smiling)
Then I went to http://www.epassportphoto.com/ to resize it to passport size.

Then when I downloaded the finished photo, I cropped out a single photo using windows snipping tool.

They'll take your photo on the day if you don't upload one, no worries. I did it last year. There's two queues; one for people with photos already uploaded and another for people without. They'll just take a snap of you with a webcam. It takes two seconds.

In the registration for first years though it says specifically that they have to either upload one onto the registration form or else email a picture before they start. Last year it gave us the option of waiting until the day to get it taken, they might not be doing that this year at all

I also emailed them my photo and no reply...hope its ok!
I actually uploaded one when registering and it was blurry...(so i emailed another to be safe)
Anyone elses blurry??

Lukker-

For those who uploaded photos, when registering there is 2 q's one for people who uploaded photos and one for people who are brining them in. You won't find out if it's OK until you are in there on the day.

I'm in the same boat. We collect them either 15/16th depending on your surname.
