I logged out to see if that would help but now I can't get back in again. They seem to have closed login temporarily.

Nice to see UCD are as organised as ever.:rolleyes:

can someone who has got to module selection page post the url they get for the page after this one:

https://sisweb.ucd.ie/usis/W_SM_WEB_ENR_WELCOME.SHOW

that as far as I can get

JayC5 · 17-08-2011 10:40am

Seriously, wtf is the going on...?

Has anyone had any feedback from anyone in UCD about how long this will take? I'm holed up in a sweaty hotel foyer in Chiang Mai - I've wasted most of my day waiting around to register, can't move from the pc or I may not get back on it again!!! Getting very peed off at the mo

cue · 17-08-2011 10:49am

Ah, I'll do this some other day. Life is too short.

I love Chiang Mai, so being 'holed up' there doesn't sound too bad to me. But ... yeah. This is a disaster. Mark Rogers why do you want to ruin my life?

There is this not entirely encouraging note on the Students Registrartion Page;

IMPORTANT MESSAGE - Online Registration is experiencing heavy traffic at this time. You may experience delays accessing the system. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. We will continue to update this page. Students are getting on and are registering, just slowly.

Yeah, I think (hope) that most of us can't get further than that,
But I've heard stories of people logging on straight away without any trouble :mad:

Sierra Oscar · 17-08-2011 11:26am

Managed to finally get in, registering at a snails pace. SIS web is awful, broken links everywhere and pages just stop loading randomly. Its been like this for years too. :rolleyes:

EDIT:

ORA-00001: unique constraint (SATURN.PK_SFTREGS) violated

Lulz, cheers for the informative error message? Got that when I went to register a module.

CD. · 17-08-2011 11:41am

i got something simimlar. when i go into the module, it says i've already registered to it but on the module tab it says I havn't chosen it. It's also not on my credit statement.
UCD is a pain in the hole, class now says it's full and apparently I am not registered too it, despite the page for the module telling me I was registered.

Estragon · 17-08-2011 11:54am

I think that at this stage (over four hours since SIS opened the registration area) that this can be called, officially, a debacle.

Particularly disappointed in UCD's (lack of) communication. Once flimsy note on the Students site. No emails, no advice, no explanations. It's unprofessional. UCD is supposedly one of the top 100 universities. Things go wrong in all organizations but the lack of acknowledgement of the problem by UCD is apalling.

I seem to remember that there were some problems with SIS last year, although nothing like this. They should have anticipated the traffic. There should be an investigation later, and a report made public of what changes UCD will put in place to ensure this does not happen again.

shelly818 · 17-08-2011 11:57am

The SIS thing is telling me that an elective i did TWO years ago is incompatible with my 2 core modules!!!! can the student desk sort this out because i can register for everything else except for 2 of my core modules....

This is such a pain in the arse been up sincde 6.30 trying to register!

- After our intervention they have promised increased speed for gaining access.
-The SU will continue to monitor this problem and make sure Registry are doing everything possible to allow everyone to register quickly and easily.
- Everyone is experiencing the same problems, don't panic, keep trying and be patient.

PrincessLola · 17-08-2011 12:19pm

Beyond a joke at this stage, heads better roll for this. I only get one day off work per week and its spent trying to deal with this ****.

TimeToShine · 17-08-2011 12:23pm

wow **** this, i'm just gonna do it tomorrow.

shelly818 · 17-08-2011 12:26pm

This happens every year, you'd have thought they would have coped on by now that they need more servers and to have less courses registering at the same time......

:mad: timetable is going to be all over the place now!

Iwasfrozen · 17-08-2011 3:09pm

Is anyone else not even getting into the registration at all? This is all I'm getting: Phase 2 Not Available.

That's all I've been getting since I started an hour ago. Should I keep trying or is it just down for everyone?

I only got 55 of 60, has that got anything to do with it?

What are you trying to register for?

I asked that question as some people with less than 50 credits would not be able to register for Stage 2 Arts today since they haven't progressed to the next Stage.

Stage 2 arts. I am planning on substituting my failed elective, definitely have been accepted to stage 2 though.

All of them 60. Does anyone know what I should do?

Contact the student desk. Well it's too late in the day now, but you should call or drop in early tomorrow.

As far as I know, (according to http://www.ucd.ie/students/regdates2011.html), 2nd year Arts students can't register until Friday.

I hadn't thought of the Year 1 people having a different day.

So just to clarify that is Stage 2 Year 1 for registration on Friday. Stage 2 Year 2 were registering today.

Oh, well that makes sense, I'm a second year. Thanks for the help anyway!

Sierra Oscar · 18-08-2011 9:40pm

Correct in saying that Elective allocation is not first come first served, right?

(Aka I dont have to even bother waiting around to register for them on Monday?

)

Apologies, i know this gets asked every year...
