- Click on ‘online registration’ and follow instructions as directed, including payment of fees if you are self-funded.

Having trouble registering?
If you cannot register online, it might be due to one of the following reasons:
1. Outstanding Fee Payment
Register a query with the Fees Office to resolve any funding/fees issues: Log a Fee Query
2. Request an Extension
If you have completed the maximum period of study allowed for your programme (6 years for Doctoral students and 4 years for Master by Research), you must apply and be approved for an extension before being allowed to register for the next academic year. To do this you must log into Graduate Education Manager (GEM). An up-to-date annual progress review must be recored on GEM in order for this request to be progressed. Queries can be directed to pgresearch@ucc.ie
If your issue is still not resolved contact graduateeducationmanager@ucc.ie
Student ID Card
- Your current Student ID Card will deactivate when your registration period is expired, so you will no longer have access to university facilities.
- Check the expiry date on your physical card: if your card is still in date, it will reactivate automatically once you register online.
- If your card is out of date, you will first need to register online. And then follow these instuctions to get a new physical card.
