    Some departments give reading weeks though... they're like mid-terms, but with the implication that you should read something. So I say - go to the offy, read a few different bottles and cans before you buy them, and *everyone's* happy.

    Also out of curiosity, where does UCD stick its timetables and all that jazz, ie is there anyway of finding out online what ur timetable will be like during the wk next year (ie so as to prepare for the worst and get massive quantities of alcohol...), or even where the hell do you find out stuff like holidays..as the OP was looking for, and also as i've a few mates heading off to do erasmuses (sp) (shakes fist enviously) and would like to visit them at some stage...etc.

    One more thing, when do we pay the registration fee, or do we have to wait for SIS to get its ass in gear?

    Every user friendly UCD...well at least they have a good enviromentally friendly policy by not sending us out massive reems of paper giving us information that we might actually need...go UCD... :rolleyes:

    Sigh

    I'd wait for the SIS - when there's money involved you can be sure UCD's admin won't get it wrong :)

    Haven't seen much of you around here lately alana!!

    I was just talking to the assistant to the head of the English department today - such a nice guy! He said that they only find out the timetables tomorrow, and normally they'd have them by the beginning of june, so they're 2 months behind because they were trying to work out clashes. So I'm guessing that won't be available for the next month, because once that's done the tutorial and seminar sorting will have to be donw, taking another few weeks. It's all fun and games, until someone loses an eye!

    UCD will probably send out giro forms for the registration fees closer to September. Unless we're expected to print them off ourselves. Expect it to be in the region of a grand. It goes up approximately €150 per annum.

    Term starts the week of the 12th, and goes on until around the 8th of December, or a little before it. It starts up again around the 5th of January and then we have a three week break mid february/march. Then there's easter, then the exams. It's always pretty much the same as the year before, just adjust it by the few days in either direction dependent on the beginning of the first term.
