Registration 2019

This section contains information for Repeat BA Stage 3/4 studets who have attempted at least 60 credits at Stage 3/4 but failed modules

When do I register?

Book your Registration Start Time from Tuesday, 30 July 2019 at 12.00 noon (closes at 10.00am on 31 July).

Registration opens for Stage 3 from 13 August. Confirmation of your Start Time for module registration will be sent to your UCD email.

What should I register to?

You will need to register to sufficient credits to allow you to complete Stage 3/4. To earn sufficient credit to complete Stage 3/4, you will need to resit/repeat/substitute modules that you failed.

Students are required to complete 60 credits in Stage 3/4.

• If you are taking a Joint Major, you will complete 25 credits in each subject.
• If you are taking a Single Major, you will complete 50 credits in your subject.

The remaining 10 credits are made up of electives. These can be taken from within your degree subjects (in-programme electives), or from outside (general electives).

What happens if a resit is not available to me?

Use the Course Search to find your module and look at the 'What happens if I fail?' section of the module description. If a resit is not offered your options are to re-attend (repeat) the module or substitute it, if the module is not a core.

If you require advice you should contact the relevant School.

Can I substitute a Stage 3/4 elective module that I have failed?

If the failed module is an elective, you may substitute it, if

• There are places available
• It is compatible with your timetable, and
• You satisfy any pre-requisite requirements
  • Log into Online Registration and go to the Repeats tab
  • If you have already registered to the repeat or resit then go to the module on the page and click Drop Module beside it
  • Go to the Electives tab to pick a substitute, ensuring you assign it to the correct stage

Please note that substituting a module brings additional fee implications. You can check the cost of substitute modules on the UCD website.

Can I substitute a Stage 3/4 option module that I have failed?

If the failed module is an option, you may substitute it, if

• There are places available in the module, and
• You meet the subject requirements.

If you are registered to the resit/repeat for the failed module, drop this on the Repeats/Subs/Transf Tab. You will need to come to the Programme Office to be manually registered to the substitute option module. You can do this from Thursday 16 August. Prior to attending you must check that the substitute module will fit in with your timetable. You can check the scheduling of modules via the General Reference Timetable. We also recommend that you have a number of possible options, in case there are no places available in your first choice. Certain subject areas require you to take a number of option modules from within a particular list, so you must ensure that your chosen substitute module meets these requirements.

Please note that substituting a module brings additional fee implications. You can check the cost of substitute modules on the UCD website.

Can I substitute a Stage 3/4 core module that I have failed?

It is not possible to substitute a core module. You must repeat/resit the module as appropriate.

What are the implications for Fees and Grants because of my planned registration?

It is strongly advised you find this out. Please contact the Student Desk with all questions on fees and grants.

What do I need to know about degree compliance?

It is important to understand that by the time you reach the end of your degree, your 180/240 credits must meet the degree requirements as set out in the UCD Academic Regulations. Please remember that you must take responsibility for this – your module choices will not be checked by anyone else. See here for full details regarding Compliance.

How will my degree GPA be calculated?
