What is Registration?

Registration is the collection and maintenance of student data. All information is stored centrally on the Student Record System. All students at NUI Galway must register ONLINE to become students of the University each year, this is obligatory.

When do I register?

See here for Online Registration Opening & Closing Dates  
You will receive an email from Registration inviting you to register online. You must register as soon as possible, once Online Registration opens, to gain access to University services such as Student ID Card, Library, Blackboard, Access to rooms etc. 
NOTE:  Access to the any of the above student services are unavailable until after you register.

What is my login?

  • Your logon is a combination of a Username and Password. 
  • Your User Name is a unique 8-digit student ID number issued to you by the Postgraduate Admissions Office. This is now your Student ID number.
  • Password details will be included in your email from the university's IT section (ISS). 
  • *If you are a returning student and have already activated your MFA, use your latest campus account password

How do I select my modules / subjects?

For any queries selecting your modules please refer to your course handbook and/or Department website.
(* if no subjects appear on your record after registration is complete, email registration@nuigalway.ie ASAP)
NOTE:  You can log into your student portal and view your curriculum / modules selection at any time during the academic year 
**You may not know what subjects you wish to add until after Orientation.  This is fine as the system is designed so that you can add/delete modules until the 20th September**

I am a past student of this University, do I get a new ID number?

No.  Please note that it is NUI Galway policy to retain your full student history under your first (or old) NUI Galway ID number. You will therefore be required to register using your existing NUI Galway student number (please do not register using your application number). There are, unfortunately, implications for your student account if you register under the wrong number; you can read these here .  

I have a Fees query, who do I contact?
