    Well in the last 10 mins its moved 3 or 4 places, so does that not mean they already are emailing, and people are booking?

    To be honest, I can't really remember- I think it was on the UCD residences website or something like that. The system has completely changed this year as it is only first years and international students so maybe they don't have a time this year. I'll check for you now though.

    Not sure- is there an option to remove yourself from the waiting list on sisweb because maybe some students did that! Don't try to remove yourself haha... just see if there is a button visible!!

    That may be a possible reason then- Some students may decide not to accept an offer for a room and have removed themselves to give others a chance. It's the only explanation I can think of. Also, students with a physical disability are sometimes automatically registered to a room before all other students as they require specific disable friendly rooms.

    I've just looked at the UCD residences page for you guys and it says that this year they will be making offers according to your position on the waiting list so that is why there is no time. Basically, if you are at the very top of the list you will get your email before others.

    No problem! One of my friends was no.20 before they culled the list and he most definitely has it already. He hasn't responded to any of our texts yet though, the shnake.

    Type UCD connect into google and click the first link called "Access IT Services UCD Connect launch page". Once you click on that you should see "mail" in the top right hand corner of the page. Click that and go to "student" and type in your details!!

    It's the same number you used to accept your college place on the CAO website. The 8 digit one, not the 6 digit one we put on our exams. The password should be, for example, if your birthday is the 5th of August 1996: 050896

    Maybe your account hasn't been activated yet- the UCD ID is your student number (cao number) so it should be around 8 numbers long and begin with 15****** and your password is your DOB with no gaps or / for example 210692 (corresponding to 21st of June 1992)

    probably hasn't been activated yet then- keep your personal account open too and check your spam folder because sometimes UCD emails that are sent to your personal account go straight into that folder. Just keep trying to login to ucdconnect account every couple of mins or so.

    Did you get an email to your personal email telling you that your connect account was activated?

    No- but you may get the email regarding the accommodation to that account too- it was sent to both of my accounts last year inviting me to book my room!!
