Continuing Students

Past Students of University of Galway

If you are a past student of this University, please note that it is University of Galway policy to retain your full student history under your first (or old) University of Galway ID number. You will therefore be required to register using your existing University of Galway student number (please do not register using your CRM application number). There are, unfortunately, implications for your student account if you register under the wrong number.

Repeat Students

Welcome back to your course! Registration will open for students who completed repeat exams from 10am on the 9th September. Register online and select modules where appropriate. Student ID Cards previously issued to current students will remain your ID card for the duration of your course at University of Galway. Contact the Student Registry Helpdesk regarding replacement ID cards and contact your course administrator if you have any further queries.
