Oh isnt that abit on the late side with the induction being on the 6th?

Densino

Wait, so we don't actually have to be in galway until the 6th?? you can do all the reg online?

Diabhal Beag

I re-registered yesterday and you can pay online so it's possible to have all the payments covered. Doubt you'd need to come to GMIT before the 6th unless you're moving in. I do sympathize with ye about how late GMIT leave stuff like this. Even for non-freshers I've heard nothing in regards to when we'll be able to apply for parking permits.

I got an email in my g00 account saying something about the contract being re-tendered so I doubt they even know themselves!

im moving into Tir Na gCapall (I wonder what that translate to?) on tuesday and induction is on the thursday. Hopefully there will be enough inbetween time to get my stuff organized.

Questions

Anyone else moving into Tir Na gCapall ?

Also, I probably wont be getting my registration packet because Im moving over from Louth and my address that is registered with the college is the Louth one so I was wondering would I be able to go somewhere in the college to receive my student number, etc, to register online?

In addition, I need a letter stating I am registered with the college to transfer to BTEA. Once registered, would I be able to print that off online or do I need to go to one the offices in the college (if so, which one).

Thanks people for your help!

Oh great, looks like I'll have to be taking a trip home next week if I'm moving in this weekend. That's ridiculously late to be sending the packs out then.

I'm pretty sure the welcome letter in the registration pack will do for that.
I'm in the same boat and that's the letter i'm waiting on from the college

Online registration opens on monday so I don't think you necessarily have to do it ON monday but it'll probably be best to do so.

Yes the main reason I'm going up on Sat is to pay Glasan, and leave in my lease.
I presume they'll give me my key card there and then, but i'll still be going home that afternoon... I've a birthday to go too..mine:D

deccydohc

Do you get like an info pack from glasan with your house number etc in it?
The lease was in with that...you just need to sign it and get your parents to sign it.


Unfortunatly i'm living with randomers, and I do not know a single person in Galway :rolleyes: What about you?

Ah not too bad...I used to know loads around Galway but they've all fecked off now.

Ya I got a letter from glasan on monday with the lease..

(if you're not a first year, they'd probably take longer)

and then I got an email the other day with another lease, because they one they sent out had a typo

Here is the induction time table for everyone who hasnt seen it yet.

deccydohc

Some of our official documentation will state Thursday 8th as the start date, please disregard this as it applies to other Schools.

Nope, still nothing.
I'm moving up on Wednesday morning so it would want to be here soon

infodox

Nothing yet, I'd say it will arrive in October sometime what with our postal service!

Last time I was a first year I did not get the info package at all. I just went in on induction day and hoped for the best. At the END of the day I got it by asking... Was pretty amusing.

I feel your pain.

One would think in this day and age with our advance technology, you would receive everything electronically-- results, registration, college info, etc. Then there wouldn't be a hassle and things would go smoothly.

Its the 21st century, not the 18th.

Oh well... heres hoping the college administration catches up. RANT OVER

Densino

Anyone register online yet?

csallmighty

How does one register? I accepted my cao place on the 20th of August but GMIT has not contacted me at all, no phonecall, email or letter What are they at?

98q76e12hrflnk

I got my info pack today. To anyone know needs to register you need the info pack for your pin number in order to register. O ya you register on gmit website:D

Densino

Got my info pack this morning

When It came to paying the fees, I clicked pay later, becuase i'm going to pay it in the installments..

But did anyone get a student ID number when they were done or do we have to wait till friday when we are collecting our I.D cards?
