How do I get the most up-to-date list of students enrolled on my Trinity Elective?
- Login to SITS via my.tcd.ie. The option for ‘Student Lists’ should appear in the bar across the top of the page. When you click on this, you will be brought to a further page where you can access ‘Module Class List’.

What happens if a student wants to change into/out of a Trinity Elective?
- Please note that change of mind can not normally be facilitated after teaching has began. However, if a student is facing difficulties, which the module co-ordinator cannot resolve, the module co-ordinator should contact the Online Module Enrolement team (OME@TCD.IE) and the Chair of the Trinity Electives Sub-Committee.

How do I get a new Trinity Elective module approved?
-
Schools wishing to propose a new Trinity Elective should contact tesubcommittee@tcd.ie for the proposal form. Proposals are evaluated by the Trinity Elective Sub-Committee and, if successful, go forward to the Undergraduate Studies Committee and Council for final approval. Resources to support the development of Trinity Electives are available on the Academic Affairs webpage
|
Can I suspend or discontinue my Trinity Elective?
-
To ensure stability in the delivery of Trinity Electives, once a Trinity Elective is approved it must run for a minimum period of 4 years. Thereafter, proposals to suspend or cessate a Trinity Elective must be presented to the Trinity Elective Sub-Commiteee (TESC) for consideration. Requests for discontinuation must be supported by the Head of School(s) and the designated form can be submitted to tesubcommittee@tcd.ie, at least one working week before the TESC meeting scheduled in November or February of each academic year. This early deadline is necessary because students select, and get registered to, Trinity Electives during the summer vacation ahead of the start of teaching. Schools wishing to suspend or discontinue a Trinity Elective should contact tesubcommittee@tcd.ie at the earliest oppurtunity. More information, including the relevent forms, are available on the Academic Affairs webpage
