Am I an Erasmus student or a Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange student?
Certain Orientation Week sessions are held specifically for Erasmus students or Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange students.
Erasmus students are students who are enrolled at higher-education institutions within the European Union who visit Trinity for either a semester or a full academic year. Their study at Trinity is subject to an Erasmus Agreement.*
*Students from a select number of institutions outside the EU may also visit Trinity on an Erasmus Agreement, and thus be considered Erasmus students.
Visiting/Study Abroad/Exchange students are students who are enrolled at higher-education institutions outside of the European Union, whose one-semester or one-year visit to Trinity is not subject to an Erasmus Agreement. The terms 'Visiting,' 'Study Abroad,' and 'Exchange' are often used interchangeably at Trinity.

ID Card Collection
Once you have registered, you are 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.
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 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!
