Module Enrolment

Module Enrolment is what we call the process you follow to sign up to your classes. You should already have completed Online Module Enrolment. However, there will be an Amendment Period in January to fix any issues with your module choices. Both the Module Enrolment and Module Removal Forms will reopen and be available on the Module Enrolment page from 12pm Monday January 13th until 5pm Friday January 31st. As well as checking the Timetable page for your Orientation Timetable, do make sure to check the Module Enrolment page to learn more about the process. Students will also be sent a reminder email closer to the Amendment Period, and Module Enrolment sessions held during Orientation Week will provide further guidance.

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. This will be indicated on the Orientation Timetable page.

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.
