Ye I got mine working the other day. You log into UCD connect using your CAO number and dob as the password and on the top right corner there are a couple of icons one of which is for the email It seemed unduly difficult for me to get it synced to my phone and stuff though, like it redirects you to a gmail account after but I was probably just spazzing it a bit :P

Ah yes, I see it now. Clearly I put little effort into trying to find that. Sound.

so me and 2 boys got an unreal apartment in Ballsbridge, 2 rooms between 3 for 415 euro a month each. 40 min walk from UCD, 15 mins from Grafton Street and on a direct bus route to UCD. Absolutly buzzing! Keep looking on daft.ie , you will find something great, even when it seems hopeless

Does anyone know what the story is with UCD Connect? Do you have to be registered to use it? Or does it have the same log in details to sisweb

First year here also (BCL Matrîse... and just figured out how to make the circumflex on a keyboard, better get used to that).

1st year BCL Maitrîse here as well! I wonder how many first years there are. I gather the intake is tiny, something like 5 students?

Furiously brushing up on my French at the moment.

They've put up the social events timetable for orientation week and a load of stuff is during the day when we've course related events on :pac: I take it we'll be too pre-occupied to go to these things and is anyone heading into UCD for a third or fourth day ie. a free day that isn't on the orientation timetable?

Hi! I'm a first year Arts student who was wondering If anyone in either Merville or Belgrove would be interested into transferring their place for mine.

I'm aware that most undergraduates are very content with their accommodation and I accept that but If there's anyone not wanting to live on the campus anymore, please consider?
This is my first time away from home so I don't know If I feel comfortable living off-campus. Don't get me wrong, I've heard great things about Blackrock as accommodation & a place to live. This is just my preference.

In particular, maybe a post-graduate who's studying in the blackrock campus?
Anyway, thank you for reading!

UCD Connect and SISWeb have the same log in details. Username is your CAO number, which becomes you student number and you password is your date of birth in the form of ddmmyy - it is recommended you change this when you can.

Thanks, I figured it out after a while, will my date of birth be my ucd email password as well?

Yes, it's your birthday in the form DDMMYY

Yeah. When you log into UCD Connect it allows you access to your email, SISWeb and Blackboard without inputting your access details again. Hence its name as it Connects you to everything.

What's the situation with picking modules and stuff? Do we have to do that before we get up there?

I think it's recommended that you have the modules sorted by the time lectures start, the 9th, but I'm not sure if it's an absolute necessity. But either way, you have to book a module registration start time on the 27th and then you pick your modules at that time, usually on the 29th. The sooner to book them the better!

You have to log into SISWeb on the 28th Aug to get a start time. It will be located on the bottom right of the page and you will get the earliest time slot available, which is 8am. Picking modules starts the next day at 8am (for those with that time slot)

Well there's a few expos and activities on on-campus and then I think a lot of the lectures are introductory lectures, ie. little or no actual learning, although I'm not sure with UCD as freshers week will be our 2nd or 3rd week in. I'm not sure what you mean when you ask if all the nights out are on during lecture time...but I know splitting hangovers in the lecture theatres are the norm! :P

I promise you you will meet people in the same situation as yourself! Are you staying on-campus? Sure look if you're stuck you've always got the boardsies on here...but you've got to be cool :cool: :P
