Go onto the Library catalogue page, click on exam papers and then on "Recent exam papers". http://library.dit.ie/search/d?SEARCH=examination+papers+dit+directories

You will then see a list of colleges/sites. Click on your site and then you will see a list of years. Choose the year you want.

You then find yourself scrolling down a list of exam papers in order of module number, e.g. tfac 1001. You will need to know the numbers of the modules you have done. If you are not sure, look up your course on the programme and module catalogue http://www.dit.ie/catalogue/

At some point you will be asked for the exams username and password. The username is Student and the password is ThunderRoad (note capitals. It is a bit naughty of me to put passwords on Boards so I may have to edit this post soon.)

If that still does not work, ring the library.

The passwords are fine, they are freely available on the DIT website and they are in the Definitive Guide to DIT thread anyway

was trying to view the past exam papers today and ThunderRoad and Student wont work as user name and password? also my student number and date of birth wont work to let me access the student timetables, any know what the problem might be?

Regarding the exam papers, you may have things the wrong way round.

Student is the username and ThunderRoad is the password.

If that doesn't work, ring the library asap.

Not sure about the timetables I'm afraid.

If you are accessing timetables its students as the username and timetables as the password
