Please read the information on this page carefully as it is all important for Orientation Week!
1. Health Screening
You must contact Aisling Thompson (aisling.thompson@dental.tcd.ie) as soon as possible to receive vital information about Health Screening.
2. Garda Vetting
All students on this course must complete the Garda Vetting process before they will be able to register. Go to the Garda Vetting page to download the relevant forms, and follow the guidelines carefully.
3. Meet Your Tutor
You will have a College Tutor assigned to you in your first few weeks at Trinity. You’ll be able to check the name of your Tutor in your my.tcd.ie portal. Once you know who your Tutor is, you should reach out to them to introduce yourself, and they may also contact you to welcome you to College and to tell you more about themselves and the Tutorial System. Your Tutor will be really important for you during your time in Trinity, so it’s important that you meet or reach out to them early on.
4. S2S Mentor Meet-Up
Your S2S Mentors are fellow students who have already completed first year, and who will play a critical role in helping you to navigate your own first year in Trinity. They will make sure you:
- Get to know other students
- Have a space to ask questions
- Know your way around the physical campus and the online resources available
- Feel like you’re a part of the Trinity community
Your first S2S Mentor Meet-Up will be scheduled as part of your Orientation Timetable. If you have any difficulties attending your session, please contact studen2s@tcd.ie and the S2S team will make sure that you’re included in a Mentor group and that you get to catch up on anything you’ve missed.
5. Orientation Hub
The Orientation Hub will be open in the Exam Hall every day during Orientation Week from 10am-3pm.
As well as being the place to collect your student ID Card, the Orientation Hub will also have a range of services on site to help you get set up and ready for your first week. So, if you have questions for the Academic Registry, IT Services, Trinity Global, the disAbility Service, or other areas, pop in to the Hub and ask!
