    Everyone, bar 1st year, is back in on th 19th. It's usual not to be told until the week before though, DIT doesn't do organisation.

    The academic calendar is available here:
    http://www.dit.ie/DIT/academic/calendar/index.html

    Seems they've brought in semesterisation, i know they were talking about it last year but i'm not sure what impact it will actually have on us

    Well I carried data comms assessment into 3rd year (missed it cos I was on holidays, so they weren't very sympathetic), but that was just an assessment and not a full exam.. I have heard of people being allowed to carry 1 subject into the following year providing it's not a main one (like programming or algorithms).. Ah you might pass yet :)

    Well it didn't feck up my placement anyway :) I just took a day off work to go into college and do the assessment.. Was just an assessment so I didn't have to do much study.. Seriously though they won't make you repeat an entire year of college just to do 1 half-year subject..

    Actually you just reminded me of something, a guy in my class was allowed carry TWO full subjects into 3rd year providing he did one of the non-work placement routes (DKM or CSAA). But relax - you might have passed the repeat exam.. repeat results are usually out very quickly :)

    Yes, I failed 2nd year programming on the old FT225 course (Applied Science/Computing).
    I was made repeat 2nd year doing only that subject. Not a great year :(

    Of course you're doing a different course (DT228), but the above might apply because since the old FT225 course was dropped, they took some of the better bits of it, put it together with the old FT228 course and came up with the new & improved DT228.

    Well you can expect this sort of thing from DIT.
    They managed to put me down for the wrong course entirely so now I have to get it all sorted tomorrow. I hope they make life easy.

    Lol in the past 3 years I've been in DIT, every single one of the bank giros was due to be paid within a day or two.. One time I was actually expected to pay it a few days BEFORE I got the damn thing.. they don't really care when it's paid though.. you can do it with credit card online too..
