Students taking repeats

A reminder to full time students repeating subjects from last year:

Any student who received a repeat CA or Repeat Module should register for that subject for this semester and take the subject with this years day students (where possible) or this years evening students if the subject is not offered in the day. You can get the latest timetables by logging into webtimtables.dit.ie. I have PDF versions of the latest timetables available here:


A reminder to international students: You are required to have 80% attendance for all classes, otherwise your visa's can be revoked without warning! I have advised all lectures to notify me of any non attending students
