Students commencing their studies with DIT will be sent details on how to register to the correspondence postal address. Continuing students will receive details on how to register to their DIT student email account. Registration details are issued from mid-August each year and this continues into September. All students must register on their programme before classes commence so it is recommended all students register as soon as they receive their details. The registration and payment of fees process is a short online combined process. DIT’s offers a two phase instalment facility to all our students. A minimum of 50% of the overall fee must be paid to register and the remainder can be paid in multiple payments. When students register they will gain access to services including attending lectures, access to DIT email and webcourses. To avail of library services, students must request a student identity card. Printing the student card activates your student library account. It is a requirement for all students to show their student card to gain entry to DIT examinations so it is advisable to get one when you commence your studies. The card is valid for the length of your studies on a programme ie if you are on a two year masters’ programme the same card can be used for the two years. However, only on registration on your programme will your access to services be activated annually. A student card can be obtained from any of our student service centres. It is a simple process whereby we take your photo and issue the card within a couple of minutes. If it is not convenient for you to get to a student service centre, students can request a student card by submitting a jpeg photo to our Student Services email and the card will be posted to you. Your first card is free and any replacements cost €10. Please visit our student services website for information on registering, paying fees and examinations.
