Registering as a returning student

We are delighted to welcome you back to National College of Ireland and we hope you are looking forward to your next year of study.

 

The 2021/2022 academic calendar lists key dates which can be helpful to your planning for the upcoming year.

Semester 1

Semester one classes will commence for most programmes in the week beginning Monday 27th September. However, some course start dates vary so it is important to check the academic calendar for your own programme commencement date and to check back regularly for updates as semester one approaches.
