Returning Student Registration

All students must register at the start of each academic year. If you are not registered, you will be excluded from class lists and emails and Moodle access.

Full-time students will not be able to access any students services, such as healthcare or the gym if they are not registered.

If your country of birth was outside the EU you will be charged international fees until you provide appropriate documentation to prove both identity and residency within an EU country for 3 out of the last 5 years. You would have received an email about this after accepting your place in DKIT. The email would have been sent to the email address with which you applied to the CAO.

If you do not submit sufficient supporting documentation to prove your eligibility for EU fees, you will remain on the international fee rate for the duration of your programme in DkIT.

You may have a Service Withheld hold on your account. If you have unpaid fees after the payment deadlines have passed the Academic Administration Office may have placed a hold on your account.

You will not be able to access Moodle or group emails. You would have received an email advising you of your outstanding fees and the placing of the hold so please check your student email account. A hold can only be lifted when the outstanding fees have been paid in full.
