How To Register (All Students)
1. How do I register?
You register online via the my.tcd.ie website. Registration will open from August on a course-by-course basis. An invitation to register will be sent to the email address you provided during the application process. Please check your emails for updates regularly. Once you have registered, emails will be sent to your new Trinity email address.
A username and password have been created for you to give you immediate access to my.tcd.ie.
Username: Shown on the top right corner of both the email and letter you received. This is also your Trinity Student ID Number.
Password: This is your date of birth in the format DDMONYYYY, e.g. 03FEB2003
If you have previously accessed my.tcd.ie using your current username and password you should continue to do so, as these details have not been changed.
Once you have been invited to register, you will see an in-tray message in your my.tcd.ie portal and you will have access to the ‘Register’ tab in the top menu of the portal.
To complete registration, click on the ‘Register’ tab and proceed.
You must complete all listed registration tasks successfully before the process is complete. When you have completed these tasks successfully you will see a green tick. If tasks are incomplete, they will be highlighted by a red X. All mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
Registration does not have to be completed in one sitting. You can complete a single task or multiple tasks, exit, and return later to proceed. The completed tasks will be saved when you log out. You must complete all tasks before registration is complete.

2. How do I pay my fees?
You can pay your fees through the following methods:
• Online Payment: You can make an online payment using a debit/visa card on the my.tcd.ie website. Click the ‘My Finance’ within my.tcd.ie to pay your fees. This is the quickest and easiest way to pay.
• Local Currency Payment via TransferMate (Recommended for International Students): If you select to pay your fees in your local currency during the registration process, you will be directed to the TransferMate website. TransferMate is an easy-to-use online payment platform which offers a secure, fast, and affordable way to make your international payments to Trinity College Dublin. Where TransferMate has a local bank account, you will not be subjected to any international wire fees and will be able to pay in your local currency with competitive foreign exchange rates. TransferMate receipts are also accepted by visa and immigration agencies.
If you are having issues making an Online Payment or Local Currency Payment via Transfermate, please contact the Academic Registry via ask.tcd.ie
3. How will I know that I’m registered?
You will receive a ‘Confirmation of Registration’ in-tray message on your my.tcd.ie dashboard once you have completed the registration process, stating that you are now a fully-registered student. You can then receive a student card and avail of all of the student services that we have to offer.
Once you have completed registration, you are eligible for a student ID card (TCard). To avail of a TCard, you need to log in to the TCard website using your Trinity username and password and follow the instructions to upload a photo. You will then be emailed details about collecting your card from the Orientation Hub in the Exam Hall.
Note: Please ensure that you are using your username rather than your student ID number or email address when logging in to the TCard website.
