ID Card Collection
You are now eligible for a student ID card (TCard). To avail of a TCard you need to log in to the TCard Portal using your Trinity username and password and follow the instructions to upload a photo. When your TCard is ready you will be emailed a time to collect it from the Orientation Hub in the Exam Hall.
Note: Please ensure when logging in to the TCard Portal that you are using your username rather than your student ID number or email address.
Garda Vetting
Some courses require students to complete the Garda Vetting process before they will be able to register. You can see the list on the Garda Vetting page. If it is required, download the forms and follow the guidelines carefully.
Health Screening
Some courses require students to complete TCD health screening requirements. Failure to do so may result in you being withdrawn from your course and a re-admission fee will apply.
Go to the Health Screening page to download the booklet and follow the instructions in the checklist.
New Entrant Survey
We'd like you to tell us a little about yourself and your experience. Your answers will help to shape the future of Trinity's communications. All responses are confidential.
