Things to remember

Your module enrolment choices are subject to timetabling constraints. Students are not permitted to take clashing modules i.e. where one module takes place at the same time as another module.

Neither module/tutorial will be registered on your record until the clashing is resolved with the relevant academic department(s)/school.

A full academic year is equivalent to 60 ECTS. Students attending Trinity College Dublin for the full year are expected to take a minimum of 45 ECTS. Single term students are expected to take a minimum of 20 ECTS and maximum of 30 ECTS.

The Academic Registry is responsible for the administrative process of module registration only. Any queries in relation to course content, course requirements or clashes should be directed to the relevant academic school.

Your enrolment is not final until your school reviews and accepts your choices.

Students are advised to have /additional modules in case of timetable clashes or if module capacity has been reached.

Please note EU/Erasmus students must select a minimum of 50% of ECTS in their Trinity Department, as specified in the acceptance letter.
