Congratulations on your successful
application to the part-time BSc Information Systems and Information
Technology in the Dublin Institute of Technology.
You should now have received
notification from the registrations office on how to proceed with
registration. If you have any problems registering, please contact
the registrations office at 01 402 4687.
Prior to registration, you must
inform me of your module selections using the
module
selection form as advised in your acceptance letter. Please note
that you can either select modules for semester 1 or for the entire
year. If you just select semester 1 modules, you can select your
semester 2 modules in January.
You will find the DIT academic
calendar online at
http://www.dit.ie/services/academic/calendar/
Important dates on this calendar
include the examination weeks in January and May. Examinations take
place in weeks 14 and 15 of each semester, so if you are intending
to arrange a holiday around those times, please ensure that you are
available for examinations.
Classes will commence in the week
beginning 21st September. For those students entering stage 1, your
first class will be on Tuesday, 22nd September, in K308. This room
is on the third floor, at the corner of the two main corridors. The
class will include an orientation session, instead of the
orientation for full-time students which takes place next week, as
shown on the academic calendar.
For all students entering stages
other than stage 1, you can find the day, time and location of your
first class on the timetable.
The timetable is available online
at
http://www.comp.dit.ie/dt249/timetables.html The timetable
is still subject to change, so please check the website close to the
date of the first class for any updates.
Please note that there will be no
lab classes (the dark grey entries on the timetable) on the first
week. Your lecturer will inform you when lab classes will commence.
All information regarding the
programme is communicated to students using the e-mail accounts
provided by DIT and the programme website at
http://www.comp.dit.ie/dt249/
Please familiarise yourself with
the programme, and if you have any questions, feel free to raise
these during the orientation session, or e-mail me or your class
mentor at any point.
DIT Kevin St is located on
Lower Kevin St. within
walking distance of St. Stephen's Green in Dublin City Centre.
Third level education is an
extremely valuable and rewarding experience for students. It is
important to note, however, that part-time education places a high
level of responsibility on students - more so than full-time
students - for time management and independent learning. If you have
any problems or issues during your studies, be sure to contact
either myself or your class mentor.
Finally, congratulations on your
successful application, and the very best of luck to you during your
time in the Dublin Institute of Technology. If you have any questions, or wish
to discuss anything with me, please contact me via e-mail or phone -
