Copper Nikus.

It doesn't seem to be allowing me to skip it. When I press continue, it says something along the lines of "error no data found." Oh well.

Hi everybody, I'm starting in Galway this September too, and I'm looking for some other sound first years to share an apartment with that's for rent beside the cathedral in Galway. It's 72 euro a week, 6 min walk to NUIG and 7 mins. walk to Eyre square. It's an awesome location, with myself and a first year girl I know already set on it, and we still need three more people to get. If you would be interested in this place and starting college in Galway could you send me a message? I put a message up on the NUIG first years 2013/14 page on facebook, so I'm looking for any other first years in Galway to share with. Let me know asap as I'd like to get this apartment set preferably by sometime tomorrow or else it may be gone. Message me and let me know if you or anyone you know would be interested. Thanks!

Awww due to work commitments I'll probably end up moving in the day before orientation starts, I hope I don't miss out on much.

MY only advice is to thoroughly enjoy yourself. Before college I would have considered myself not great on the social aspect of life, I loved going out and that but I would have found it hard to make friends.

Didn't matter though, I made a great group of friends and had the best year of my life.

Just really, make sure you go to your lectures, it helps a lot, I did very little study but went to almost all my lectures. Then just crammed for two weeks. 1st year really doesn't require a awful lot of effort if you have a bit of sense.

Just enjoy it while you can!!

Corvo Attano

You sound similar to me so that helps. Thanks

Ah, having a bit of trouble.
So set up my actual online registration, then did the CASS reg and getting into that page grand. Just doesn't seem to want to let me into blackboard or anything else? As in, it says username/password incorrect but it should be the same as CASS, shouldn't it?

saoirse95

Civil Law with Legal French!

Corvo Attano

What exactly is "Legal" French

saoirse95

One of the modules. I presume it's something got to do with law and france..

Pretty certain blackboard takes a minimum of a day or so to register new accounts. Just try again later.

Now I have to find out whats Illegal French :P

Sacre bleu!

my online registration appears a little unwell It'll only let me pay fees and I can't edit any information, which I need to do in a serious fashion! Hope it's just my general lack of technological smarts and not that my account is acting up :P

Does anyone know when do we find out who our roommates in Corrib are? I'm living with 4 strangers so it's kind of scary/exciting

Email the registration office person, I screwed up my registration a few years ago and wasn't allowed to amend any info, only they could do it.

Haha make that six years for me, thinking about it I'm sure I'll be fine

Also living with strangers so far (kinda scared I'll get lumped in with someone from school which would take the fun out of it), I'm quite excited!

Is that when we're allowed move in? Have to admit, I can't wait to move to Galway Everyone is in the same boat so I'll keep my faith in humanity and hope they'll be sound enough :P

I think I read something about Sept 1st on the website! I'm only moving 30 mins down the road so it's not that much of a huge step for me

30 mins? With the price of Corrib, were you not tempted to invest in a decent car? :P

I got Arts in G-town. Anyone for that? I don't want to be sad and friendless.

I'm in the same situation. I need to put my SUSI number in, but it doesn't give me the option to do so. I've tried via the MyCampus page and the regular registration page but neither has worked. I did ring the hotline but the method they gave me didn't work. Now I'm receiving no answer from them when I ring. Any ideas as to what to do?

A gang of us walked the wrong way home for about an hour and a half only to realise we had done a circle back to the house party we were at, a bus just happened to pull up at the time, hopped in the bus and went home!

If you have accepted your offer in the last day or two then it might not work yet, just give it another day. Thats what happened to me, I only got access yesterday two days after I accepted

Found This Fork Sir

When it comes to paying fees, what's the story with the grant? Like, I amn't sure whether or not I'm getting a grant yet so do I pay for that part or not?

I accepted my offer the day it came out so I dont have a clue why its not working

Corvo Attano

You have until the end of September to pay your contribution and til the end of October to pay half your fee so by then you should have a letter of confirmation that you must show the admissions office.
