Access to Library from Home

The electronic resources of the library are available for access outside
the DIT.
Once you have a student number you can create a PIN. If you
previously had a PIN you can change it.
Details of how to do this are available at http://www.dit.ie/library/a-z/pin/

Resources for computer science postgraduate students are listed
at http://www.dit.ie/library/subjects/computerscience/postgraduates/#d.en.36747

Update on Registrations

I spoke with registrations this morning. They were backlogged dealing
with undergraduate repeat students. They will be starting to issue
invites to register to postgraduate students on Monday.

If you have any queries on registrations from now could you
contact Brian MacNamee for the MSc in Computing (Data
Analytics) or Ronan Bradley for all other MSc programmes.

There contact details are in the MSc Student handbook or
available from the school website http://www.comp.dit.ie.

Thanks for your patience so far I know it has been very
frustrating.

Temporary Computer Accounts

 As many students have not been able to register it is possible to get a temporary acocunt.

You need to complete the application form 

·         Temporary accounts will be handed out from the School Office by Iseult during office opening hours for student enquiries.  (8:45-11am, 2:30-4pm). For evening students you can ask your lecturer to return it for you.

IMPORTANT - Information re Registrations

Dear All,

To clarify the situation re registrations :

I invited everyone to complete an online selection form.

I will forward your choices to registrations who will set up your

records and invite you to register.

Please check that your record is correct at this point.

FAO Springboard Students

You will be sent an initial letter stating that you are registered

on DT217 MSc in Computing (KM) - this is a placeholder only.

Once you have accepted the place and indicated your stream to me
