Student registration must be completed online for every year of your course. This is essential to allow you to enrol in classes and to maintain an active student record in Trinity.
Registration invitations are sent out in batches. This will be sent to you soon.
Please check if your course requires you to complete Garda Vetting as you cannot start registration until you have completed it.
