Late Offers
Those who receive offers at round 3 and later should not wait to hear from us but, having first formally accepted the offer, come ahead to college. Registration for Round 3 Offerees will be on Friday 16th September. In addition to the items listed above, these applicants should bring a copy of their CAO Offer Notice with them to registration.
Late Registration
Late registration and/or failure to present for the start of the teaching period is academically disruptive and is frowned upon. Students who receive offers up to round 3 who fail to register on the appointed date will become liable for a late registration penalty of €100. Students who, for any reason, are unable to register on the appointed date should notify their Head of Department or School Administrator, so that arrangements can be made to keep their place held open. On return to college, they should present at the front desk to register (and pay the late registration fine) before attending class.
Round 4 does not issue until 16 September, which is after the general registration date. As classes will have already started those receiving offers on round 4 or later should present themselves at the main reception as soon as possible after receipt of the offer (Bring a copy of the offer notice with you). These students will not be liable for a late registration penalty.
Registration Fees
The standard registration fee for full-time students for the 2011-12 academic year will be €2,000. Students who can produce evidence that they qualify for a grant will not be required to pay the registration fee. The grant authorities will pay the standard registration fee on behalf of these students. It is in your own interest therefore to sort out your grant entitlements early in the summer and to bring confirmation of any entitlements to registration where possible. If you have applied for the grant but cannot show us the confirmation that you are eligible, you will have to pay the registration fee from your own resources. We will send you a giro to facilitate payment. The giro can be used at any bank to pay fees. There is a branch of BoI on campus. However, please note that the on-campus bank will not accept cash. It will accept cheques, money orders and Bank of Ireland Laser cards.
Note: Students who do not have evidence of eligibility for a grant and who, thus, have to pay the fee themselves will receive a refund if a grant authority confirms at a later date that they are eligible for support.
Part time and repeating students must pay the registration fee from their own resources. Part time and ACCS students pay a reduced registrations fee. The minimum registration fee for ACCS/Part-time is €100 and thereafter there is a charge of €25 per credit taken. For more information on fees click here. Those paying fees must use the giro provided by Registry for this purpose. Cash/Cheques are not accepted at registration.
What if I don’t get a giro?
After each round closes we get the file of acceptors and we use this to prepare giros that the acceptors will use to pay any fees due. Those who receive offers up to and including round 2 should expect to receive these giros in the mail. However, Since rounds 3 and later close after our standard registration date, it will not be possible to mail giros out to those who get offers on round 3 and later. Instead, they can pick them up on arrival. If you have not paid fees before arrival at LYIT, it is important that you have access to sufficient funds to enable you to pay any fees due using the giro. The standard registration fee is €2,000. This fee must be paid before proceeding to the next stage in the registration. There is a bank on campus to which the giro can be taken, however the on-campus bank does not accept cash. It will accept cheques, money orders and Bank of Ireland laser cards. The giro can also be taken to any bank branch elsewhere if you prefer. Once applicants have proof of payment, they can proceed to registration.
*Students who can produce evidence that they qualify for a grant will not be required to pay the registration fee.

Accommodation Lists
The Student Union at LYIT prepares an accommodation list each year. This is normally ready by August and is available from the Student Union, Tel (074) 918 6820. The Student Handbook, which provides a wealth of useful information for students on campus life and student support services, is available on Registration Day. This year we will also be offering it to students in CD format.
HEA Data Collection at Registration
Since 2007 the college has been gathering information for the Higher Education Authority (HEA) on students’ social, economic and cultural background. This data is normally collected by way of a computerized survey to which students will be given access prior the registration process
Achieving full equality of access to higher education is a national priority, for people with disabilities, mature students who previously had not the opportunity to access higher education, those facing social and economic barriers, and minority groups, including the Traveller community.
To help make progress on this equality goal, your college gathers Equal Access information each year at registration on students’ socio-economic background, disability and ethnicity and returns it to the Higher Education Authority. With the information, the HEA is able to measure equality of access to higher education and allocate the resources needed to support students of all backgrounds and abilities. The information gathered during registration is protected by robust data protection policies in your college and in the HEA, in full compliance with data protection legislation, and subject to audit by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner. Equal Access information is stored alongside other student data in the HEA (including nationality, age, course details) but no data includes names or addresses. All students are encouraged to respond to the Equal Access questions, however they are not mandatory and non-response will not prevent your registration at college or affect your eligibility for financial support. Non-response may, however, have implications for the amount of State funding that is allocated to your college, and to the supports available to students who need them.
The Equal Access Leaflet which is obtainable from the HEA website, www.hea.ie , sets out the questions that will be asked and explains how the information will be used and safeguarded. You may wish to download this leaflet prior to registration.
N.B. You can avoid queuing on registration day by supplying this data, via the web, before coming to LYIT.
