Dear Student,
Welcome to the 2014/2015 academic year. Programmes will commence on the 22nd September, 2014. This letter aims to provide you with information on how to register for the coming year. The system will open for registration on Monday 25th August and will close on Wednesday 10th September, all registrations MUST be completed within this period.
To begin registering, go to the ‘Online Registration’ link, which is accessible under the ‘Study Essentials’ section of the current student website (http://www.dcu.ie/openeducation/current.shtml). All information pertaining to registering online will be available under this link.
It is essential when registering that you follow the procedure which is detailed in the Step by Step Guide provided.

Fees

Please see the Open Education website at: http://www.dcu.ie/openeducation/fees.shtml for 2014-2015 fee information.


Please note that fees should be paid in full through the online registration system once modules have been selected. Laser card payments have a daily limit of €1500 for payments; remainder of balances can be paid the following day through the online system. Once you register online you are liable for the full fees pertaining to the modules you have registered for. This debt remains with the University. Fees are non-refundable. A delay in payment of fees will result in delay/restricted access to the resources for your course.
Third Party Payments: DCU do not issue invoices to individual companies or students for fee payment.  Students in receipt of third party sponsorship must pay their fees online during the registration process. An invoice may be printed online during registration ("Cost of Registration") for your Sponsor. However your sponsorship is a matter for you and your sponsor directly.  The fee liability for your programme fees rests in full with you as a student of DCU.
Springboard Students: If you are part of the Springboard Initiative, all fees are covered by the Higher Education Authority. Once you have registered for your chosen modules, you may exit the registration system.
Registration for all continuing students* should be completed by 10th September to ensure all supports are in place for course commencement.
*Students Awaiting Resit Examination Results

The online registration will reopen for all resit students only on the 16th September and will remain open until 19th September. Students awaiting results should refrain from registering before this time as results may influence module choice for the 2014/15 academic year.


ID Cards

If the expiry date on your ID card is not current, you should contact Registry on 01 700 5338 or use the registry’s online query form, which can be found at http://www4.dcu.ie/registry/studentqueries/form.shtml, making sure to quote your name and ID number to request that they re-issue a new card.

Also please note that it is the responsibility of the student to submit the appropriate information and documentation to support their case.
