Welcome to National University of Ireland GalwayCongratulations on your achievements to date and we are pleased that you have chosen to study Science at NUI Galway. The College of Science and Engineering has a long-established tradition but is also pursuing an active policy of innovative course development in response to the changing needs of graduate employment. The College now offers 13 different undergraduate Science degree programmes to approximately 600 first-year students. All students are most welcome and, in particular, we welcome mature students who have chosen to study science. We wish each and every one of you success and hope that you fully partake of the opportunities presented to you both academically and socially during your time at the University.

To help you adjust to University life, we have assigned an Adviser to each first year student (see details on your relevant programme page). Should circumstances arise during the year that adversely affect your performance at University, you should arrange to make an appointment to see your dedicated adviser or a member of the College Office team (http://www.nuigalway.ie/science-engineering/collegestaff/). We look forward to meeting you at Orientation.

Professor Walter Gear.Executive Dean.

Making the Transition to UniversityWhen students make the transition from school to University they are faced with a whole range of new experiences and issues. You may be living away from home for the first time, you may not know any of your classmates yet, you are probably not familiar with the campus and may not even be familiar with Galway city. One of the most significant issues for you though will be getting to grips with the way university differs from school. For instance, no one is going to nag you about deadlines.

Learning at university is of course a very different experience to that of being at school. For a start, as a student you are considered an adult learner, capable of managing your own study schedule and putting in the time to read textbooks, articles and other materials so that you really understand your chosen subjects and feel more confident as you progress.

Supplementary Learning outside of the classroomThe lectures, seminars, laboratory classes and other timetabled classes are actually only a small part of the total effort that you need to put in to succeed. Supplementary learning outside of lectures is a critical component of the learning experience. All of the assessment, coursework and available credit are based on the idea that you are spending a minimum of 40 hours per week, every week of the semester, on learning and assessment. This just represents a full-time workload and is the standard model used across Ireland and all courses that use European Credits (something called ECTS – European Credit Transfer System). In some courses it may be a little higher than this because of the nature of the subject.

The other big difference between university-level courses and some other types of qualification is that you really need to try to understand the subject and the ideas you come across in class or your reading. It’s not about memorizing and regurgitating facts, but about seeing the ideas that lie behind them and being able to make use of knowledge to tackle new problems. That can be tricky to adjust to and sometimes it is really difficult to make sense of new concepts. The good news is, that this is exactly what learning something new is like for everyone. There are always ideas that are really tricky to grasp at first and which don’t make sense until you try again and again, hopefully getting some feedback on your efforts and maybe through working with fellow students. But when it does ‘click’ things fall into place and you get a sense of satisfaction that hopefully makes some of that struggle worth it! That’s why we say you need to spend so many hours on self-study, because we know from experience (and extensive research on education) that you will need that time.

Attendance and Submission of AssignmentsIt is essential that you get into the habit of attending all your lectures, tutorials and laboratories. Every year we see that there is a direct correlation between good attendance and good performance in examinations. All lecturers will routinely monitor attendance and poor attendance will have consequences.

4 College of Science

It is also critical that assignments are submitted on time. You will need to learn to prioritise your work and leave plenty of time for assignments. Familiarise yourself with the library so that you know where you need to go to locate books and articles relevant to your area of study.

Supports in placeThe University has put in place various resources to help you make the transition including the Student Support Services facility, Orientation programmes, tours of campus, 1st year handbooks, a mentor system etc. From an academic perspective there are also a range of invaluable supports in place such as the Academic Writing Centre, SUMS (Maths Support Centre) and DISC (Computer Programming Drop In Support Centre).

The SUMS: Maths Support Centre is a drop-in centre where any NUI Galway student can work on their maths questions, with expert tutors on hand to offer individual help if necessary. The centre is FREE to students and is an initiative of the Students’ Union and the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Maths. SUMS (Support for Undergraduate Maths Students) is located in Aras de Brun on the ground floor ADB-G023. Further information including opening hours, is available at www.maths.nuigalway.ie/sums

ComputerDISC is a drop-in support centre for all NUIG students who are enrolled in computer programming or software development courses. ComputerDISC is located in room IT-205 on the first floor of the IT building. Students can drop in at any time during opening hours as no appointments are necessary. Further information can be found at www.computerdisc.it.nuigalway.ie

Blackboard is a learning system which allows lecturers to post materials such as lecture notes, reading materials, weblinks, videos, quizzes, etc, online. Many courses also use this for announcements, news items and for students to submit their coursework. Blackboard has a lot of additional tools and capabilities and quite which of these are used is decided by the lecturer or course team. Blackboard is available 24/7 from both on and off campus. Not every lecturer or module will necessarily be using it, but most will and in different ways.You should certainly login regularly to check for updates to your modules. For those of you with a smartphone or tablet, there is also a Blackboard App (in iphone and Android versions) which you can download.

Once you are enrolled in the university you will have access to Blackboard using the same username and password for email and other computer services. Blackboard is available at: http://nuigalway.blackboard.com/

All first year students may enroll on a Blackboard course called the ‘Learning Centre’ which contains online self-study lessons and guides to many relevant academic skills such as essay/report writing, studying and preparing for assessments. The University has a licence to make these materials available to students and we would strongly encourage you to make use of them. Feedback from other students has been very positive. The Learning Centre will also have links to other


materials and interesting articles and updates will be posted there throughout the academic year, so please log in regularly.

The Academic Writing Centre (housed in the Library) offers free tutorials on essay writing. Last year, AWC tutors helped over 500 students to overcome recurrent problems with grammar, punctuation, spelling and essay structure. There is no need to make an appointment, simply drop in during the opening hours of the Centre www.library.nuigalway.ie/awc/

The Library operates a free Academic Skills Hub desk where you can access one-to-one support with information skills such as searching for books and journals, or referencing your work: http://library.nuigalway.ie/support/academic-skills/

There is also an online Academic Skills Hub that brings together most of NUI Galway’s academic skills supports in one place. This online resource is packed with tips, information, short guides, checklists, links, and more, to help you to develop key skills needed for academic success at NUI Galway: http://www.nuigalway.ie/academic-skills/

On the Online Academic Skills Hub there are top tips on eight key academic skills, as well as some information to help you get started. You will also find links to additional sources of support for students, including Library resources and academic skills workshops.

This online resource provides helpful information to first years on getting started with emails and Blackboard and getting organised with managing your time.

As a university student, you are expected to:• Understand the requirements of your course (see Getting Started)• Attend all lectures, tutorials, field trips, laboratory demonstrations, and any other classes for

your course• Read assigned course readings (see Reading and Research Skills)• Think critically (see Critical thinking)• Engage with others in your discipline: your classmates as well as staff (see Communication

Skills)• Complete all of your assignments and exams to the best of your ability (see Assignments and

Exams)

Becoming familiar with the wealth of resources offered by the library can be daunting. However, library staff provide support help and training to enable you to get to grips with the literature of your subject and the other resources on offer. As well as being available for one-to-one enquiries and consultations, the support staff provide training sessions throughout the semester aimed at helping you to identify and use the information resources you need for your study. Checkout the library website to see the programme of training events available this September.


Jargon Buster – Modules, Programmes, LevelsAll courses in NUI Galway are made up of ‘modules’. These are usually described by a set of ‘Learning Outcomes’ that state what you should be able to do after successfully completing the module and a number of ‘ECTS’ credits. ECTS is basically an indicator of how big the module is. A module that is rated at 5 ECTS, for example, means that you need to spend at least 100 hours of concerted effort (including lectures, exams and self-study) in order to complete it satisfactorily. A module that is 10 ECTS, unsurprisingly, requires double that effort. A whole year’s worth of modules (if you are a full-time student) should total up to 60 ECTS (30 in each semester). To be awarded the credits for a module you must of course have successfully completed it in terms of attendance, participation, coursework and examinations.

A ‘programme’ is a whole degree course, made up of all the individual modules. It is usually described by ‘Programme Learning Outcomes’ and there will be rules that determine which modules you need to successfully complete each year to end up with the appropriate degree title (e.g. BSc, BE (Mechanical), BComm, etc)).

All of our degree programmes are recognised by employers and other educational institutions and comply with international agreements on course structure (the ‘Bologna Process’). All programmes are subject to regular quality reviews where the quality of the teaching and learning is scrutinised by an external panel with international experts in the subject. Every programme also has an ‘external examiner’ (a senior academic from another university) who oversees the final decisions about grades, checks the examination papers and processes and guarantees that the quality of our courses and graduates compare well with the standards in the subject.

Ireland has a National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) that describes the levels of all courses of study and this matches similar schemes in other countries so that it is easy for employers and educators to make sense of different qualifications obtained from different institutions, as well as making it easier for students to move between one country and another, picking up credit and qualifications along the way. According to this scheme, an undergraduate honours degree (BA, BSc, BComm, etc) is a ‘level 8’ qualification. A Masters would be level 9 and a PhD level 10.

So what does this mean in practice? Well, that you must attend all the scheduled classes, spend time every week on reading, studying and working through course materials and that what you are trying to do in the assessments and exams is show that you can actually achieve the learning outcomes. There’s still plenty of time to socialize and get involved in clubs and sports (see later section) outside the 40 hours! The lectures, labs, tutorials and other classes, combined with the textbooks, online materials, and the library are all resources that the university provides to help you succeed. At the end of the day, though, success depends on your own efforts. It is possible to not only succeed in the assessments and feel a sense of achievement at having learned new knowledge and skills, but also to enjoy being a student in your chosen subject. Your final qualification will be well-regarded and recognised internationally by employers and other educational institutions across the world.


The University doesn’t see you as a ‘customer’ or a ‘consumer’ but hopes that you will, instead, be a member of our academic community. That you will be able to get the most out of being in a city of ideas and learning not just about the basics of your subject but also get a feel for the latest research, the big ideas, the debates and where future opportunities lie for further study, research or employment.

The Procedure/Guidelines for allocating places is as follows:• Students are ranked in order of merit based on their overall 1st year result across all modules.

Therefore it is a student’s overall performance that determines his/her place in the allocation of modules.

• Students must complete a Module Selection Form on Blackboard in Semester II listing their preferred list of pathways and electives. This Form must be submitted by a given deadline.

• Students who pass in the Summer Examinations are ranked in order of merit and allocated places within the capacity limits based on their choice combinations and prerequisites. Confirmation on the pathways and electives offered to each student will be emailed individually to students at their NUI Galway email address (usually during the month of July).

• Students who fail one or more examinations at the Summer Examinations are dealt with after the Autumn repeats and are allocated the remaining places within the capacity limits once their overall mark can be calculated at this stage. Confirmation on the pathways and electives offered to each student will be emailed individually to students at their NUI Galway email address (usually at the beginning of September).

• Students who submit their Module Selection Form on Blackboard after the submission deadline are dealt with after the “on-time” students, regardless of their rank in the order of merit.


A Second Year Advisory Session will be held in Semester II and further information will be provided at this time.

3.1 Chemistry (CH101, CH120, CH130, CP102)

General Information and Timetable

For the Academic Year 2021/22 the 1st Year Chemistry Modules CH101, and CP102 will follow substantially the same syllabus and delivery programme. Analogously, the 1st Year Chemistry Modules CH120 and CH130 will follow the same delivery programme. Detailed information on the course contents, organization, delivery and assessment can be found at www.nuigalway.ie/science-engineering/school-of-chemistry/student-information/.

Lectures will begin on Monday, September 27th, 2021. All 1st year chemistry lectures will be delivered online, either live or pre-recorded. Live lectures will also be recorded, and all recordings will be made available on Blackboard. Unless otherwise stated, tutorials will be delivered on campus. In order to make sure everyone knows what pace they should be working at, the delivery of the material would generally be kept as close as possible to the timetable used in a normal year (available at www.nuigalway.ie/science-engineering/school-of-chemistry/student-information/). Bear in mind that timetables may be subject to change over time.

Laboratory Sessions:

Unless otherwise stated, all practicals will be carried out on campus.

CH101 (1BPC1, 1BS1, 1EV1, 1PHO1,) & CH130 (1BMS1, 1BY1, 1EH1, 1AGS1)40 hours of laboratory work split into 16 practical sessions of 2.5 hours each (1 practical per week, 8 in Semester I/8 in Semester II).

CH120 (1BGG1, 1MR1)20 hours of laboratory work split into 8 practical sessions of 2.5 hours each (1 practical per week in Semester I).

CH120 (0MB3, 1BO1)20 hours of laboratory work split into 8 practical sessions of 2.5 hours each (1 practical per week in Semester II).

CP102 (1BGS1, 1EHS1, 1EV1)20 hours of laboratory work split into 8 practical sessions of 2.5 hours each (1 practical per week in Semester I).

Practicals will begin on Monday, October 18th, 2021. The Laboratory Timetable is available at: www.nuigalway.ie/science-engineering/school-of-chemistry/student-information/. A pre-recorded pre-practical talk will be made available on Blackboard in advance to each practical session. Students will be notified by the College the day of their practicals and allocated a bench number. Note that students are expected to perform their laboratory work on the assigned day (no day swapping allowed).

https://www.nuigalway.ie/science-engineering/school-of-chemistry/student-information/





Laboratory prerequisites:

- It is mandatory to wear a face mask (not a visor) at all times while in the laboratory. Should a student arrive at a practical without their own face mask, they will not be allowed to carry out the practical and, as such, will be given an unauthorized absence. Should a student have a certified issue which prevents them from using a face mask, they should engage with the course Coordinator to determine if a visor is appropriate or if another accommodation is required.

- Students must bring their own white laboratory coat and safety glasses (available at the SU shop). Laboratory coats and safety glasses cannot be hired or borrowed anymore: should a student arrive at a practical without their own laboratory coat and/or safety glasses, they will not be allowed to carry out the practical and, as such, will be given an unauthorized absence.

- The electronic version of the laboratory manual will be available on Blackboard. Students must bring their own printout of the laboratory manual (no hardcopy provided, mobile phones/tablets/laptops strictly prohibited).

3.4 Biology (BO101)

First Lecture: Tuesday, 28th September at 9.00am

Welcome to First Year Biology BO101, which is divided into two semesters:• Semester 1: Biochemistry and Botany & Plant Science

• Semester 2: Zoology and Microbiology.

The BO101 class is made up of: Science (BS) students, Earth and Ocean Science, Environmental Science, Marine Science, Biomedical Science, Biopharmaceutical Chemistry, Biotechnology, Environmental Health and Safety, Mathematical Science, Physics (Applied, Astrophysics, Biomedical, Theoretical), Genetics and Genomics, Geography and Geosystems, Agricultural Science and Foundation Year Medicine.

Learning in BO101: There are three lectures per week.

This year all lectures will be delivered either in person, when possible, or online live in the virtual classroom depending on the disciplines. The lectures will be available as video recordings and accessible at any time on Blackboard.

Attendance at all lectures is compulsory. Evidence of participation to live lectures or engagement with learning materials on Blackboard will be recorded. All students must wear clean, properly-fitted face coverings during on-campus BO101 lectures.

There is no room for complacency - a close correlation exists between students who miss lectures and those who fail exams. Make sure you take your own notes as you listen to lectures. We deliver a research-led introduction to biology that reflects the research interests of our lecturers. Our course is significantly different from Leaving Certificate Biology, and you should not assume that you will be familiar with the content of our lectures based on Leaving Certificate biology.

Botany and Plant Science: All Botany and Plant Science lectures will be delivered live online according to the Biology lecture timetable.

Semester 2 (Zoology and Microbiology): Details on Semester 2 lectures and laboratory classes will be circulated in early January.


The recommended textbook:“Biology – A Global Approach” by Campbell et al. This text book is supported by the interactive platform Mastering Biology. This is an online tutorial and homework program that will provide support material for the material covered in lectures and laboratory classes. Mastering Biology will also allow you to self-assess your learning progress. Online access to the textbook and Mastering Biology is provided via Blackboard and the Library. A tutorial on Mastering Biology will be held in the virtual classroom on Tuesday the 28th, 9am.

Laboratory practical classes: Will primarily be held on-campus, with several virtual laboratory classes delivered online, including via the McGraw Hill Virtual Labs platform. After registration with the University, you will be assigned a laboratory number and into a practical group. The timetable for your group’s on-campus laboratory practical classes will be made available before 11th October.

Assessment:Semester 1 (Biochemistry and Botany & Plant Science):Six online continuous assessments delivered throughout the semester covering the content of both lectures (four tests) and practical laboratory classes (2 tests) will collectively contribute 50% towards your final BO101 mark. Laboratory Practicals will be assessed at the end of each section of the practical course. The two practical CAs will contribute 15% towards your overall mark for the year, and the four lecture tests will contribute 35%.

Semester 2 (Zoology and Microbiology): Five online assessments delivered during and at the end of the semester will collectively contribute 50% towards your final BO101 mark. Two online continuous assessments delivered during the semester covering the content of the lectures will contribute 10% towards your final mark. Laboratory Practicals will be assessed at the end of the Zoology and Microbiology practical classes. The two Practical MCQ tests together will contribute 15% towards the overall marks for the year.

One online examination at the end of Semester 2 will contribute 25% towards your final BO101 mark.

Please note that these plans are provisional and subject to change depending on the prevailing public health situation.

4.1 Information and Support ServicesAs a student of the College of Science and Engineering, if you are confused by any aspect of your programme, by the registration requirements or if you are experiencing personal difficulties or any difficulties in your academic programme, you are strongly recommended to seek advice and support from the academic staff, your programme director, the University Offices and the Student Support Services of the University. Timely support may be the key to your success in the programme and to a level of achievement which does you justice. The full list of Student Support Services available can be found at: www.nuigalway.ie/student-services.

4.2 Lecture TimetablesTimetable information is available on programme Blackboard sites.

4.3 Code of Practice for Dealing with PlagiarismWhen students begin to provide essays or write answers in examinations, they need to be aware of this issue.

Definition

Plagiarism means presenting the words of another writer as if they were your own. It refers to stealing, without acknowledgement, from any other writer, including fellow students. Copying another student’s work is as reprehensible as plagiarising a literary critic. This is a serious matter, and if it is detected in your work it may result in an automatic failure mark. The way to avoid plagiarism is very simple: always put quotation marks around someone else’s words, credit them to their source, and discuss in your view their merits. If you borrow ideas from another writer, say so.

Some examples of plagiarism:

• Maire and Sean are participating in a study group. The group share ideas, notes and information about their subject. Maire is organising the Science Ball and falling behind in her work. Assignment deadline approaching fast, she asks Sean for his notes. In order to get the assignment in on time, she adopts Sean’s notes verbatim (providing two additional sentences of her own) and submits it as her own work. When both students are called in to explain, Maire confesses, and a severe penalty is applied to the work.

• Paddy consults internet sources as part of his research for his assignment. Not realising that internet plagiarism detection services exist, and are known to his lecturer, Paddy decides to submit an internet essay under his own name. Paddy receives a fail.


• Siobhan is consulting a secondary source as part of her research for an essay. She forgets to indicate, as she takes her notes, which sections are taken word-for-word from the book she’s consulting. When writing her essay, Siobhan realises her mistake. Luckily, she still has time to return to the library to check the source. She checks her source and acknowledges it in her essay, thus avoiding plagiarism.

Best Practice to Avoid Plagiarism

• When making notes, always use quotation marks to distinguish between your own notes and the words of the writer you are reading. Additionally, always keep a record of the page number, publication details, etc.

• Inform yourself about the submission dates for your written work, and leave yourself time to do the work yourself.

• When correctly acknowledging the words of another writer, engage with what that writer is saying or arguing, rather than using them as a substitute for your own argument.

• ASK YOUR LECTURER FOR ADVICE IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN ABOUT ANY ASPECT OF REFERENCING OR PLAGIARISM.

Code of Practice for dealing with Plagiarism

All students should familiarise themselves with the guidelines relating to Plagiarism and the University’s Code of Conduct Website: www.nuigalway.ie/codeofconduct/

4.4 Marks and Standards The University Marks and Standards are available at the following website: www.nuigalway.ie/exams/policies-procedures/.

4.5 Science Programmes Regulations – Sub-module Components 15 Credit First Year Module component structure (Including Continuous Assessment)

• Each of the two written examination papers has two sittings (1st Sitting and 2nd Sitting).• The continuous assessment sub-module component has just one sitting (1st Sitting).

Written Examination Papers Continuous Assessment60% 40%

Paper 1 Paper 2 Homework, in-class tests, weekly laboratory sessions, laboratory examination (E.g. laboratory MCQ).

30% 30% 40%

http://www.nuigalway.ie/exams/policies-procedures/


• A student will have passed if the mark in the continuous assessment component is at least 35% [14 out of 40] and the overall module mark is at least 40%.

• A student will have failed the 1st sitting where the overall module mark is less than 40% and the mark in the continuous assessment component is at least 35% [14 out of 40].

The student must repeat the two written examination papers with a view to improving their overall module mark, retaining their continuous assessment mark from the 1st sitting.

• A student will be incomplete if the mark in the continuous assessment component is less than 35% [14 out of 40]. In this case, the student must re-register for the module the following year and re-engage in all parts of the module again.

• No credit can be accumulated for sub-module components between 1st sitting and 2nd sitting.

4. Féadfar an Scoláireacht a athnuachan faoi na coinníollacha céanna i leith an dara bliain den chúrsa Céime ach tuairisc shásúil a fháil ó na Ranna cuí maidir le dul chun cinn an tsealbhóra. Is ar thorthaí scrúduithe an chéad bhliain ollscoile a bhronnfar scoláireachtaí sa dara bliain agus is ar thorthaí scrúduithe na dara bliana a bhronnfar scoláireachtaí sa tríú bliain orthu siúd a dhéanann freastal ar na cúrsaí trí Ghaeilge.

5. Coiste Scoláireachta, arna cheapadh ag an Uachtarán, a bhronnfaidh na Scoláireachtaí ar fad. Cuirfidh an Coiste san áireamh:

(i) torthaí na hArdteistiméireachta agus torthaí agallaimh i gcás mhic léinn don chéad bhliain agus torthaí an scrúdaithe deiridh ollscoile i gcás na mac léinn don dara agus tríú bliain.

(ii) tuairisc ó chomhaltaí den fhoireann teagaisc;

(iii) oiriúnacht an chláir oibre ó thaobh aidhmeanna na scoláireachta.

Féadfar agallamh a chur ar iarrthóirí freisin.

6. Féadfar fiche a cúig (25) Scoláireacht a bhronnadh ar mhic léinn sa chéad, dara agus tríú bliain.

7. Féadfaidh an Coiste an Scoláireacht a tharraingt siar tráth ar bith má tharlaíonn nach bhfuil coinníollacha na scéime á gcomhlíonadh ag an sealbhóir.

8. Ní bheidh dul thar bhreith an Choiste i bhfeidhmiú na scéime.

I.Is ionann an “Ghaeltacht”, maidir leis an gCóras seo, agus an chuid d’Éirinn atá fá dhath dearg agus buí ar léarscáil Choimisiúin na Gaeltachta.

II.1. Tá Údarás na hOllscoile ag tairscint roinnt áirithe Scoláireachtaí san Ollscoil do

chainteoirí dúchais Gaeilge a rugadh nó a tóigeadh sa nGaeltacht, a bhfuil Scrúdú na hArdteistiméireachta bainte amach acu.

Má bhíonn iarrthóirí istigh as an mbreac-Ghaeltacht nach bhfuil ina gcainteoirí dúchais amach agus amach agus má bhíonn an scrúdaitheoir Gaeilge sásta gur Gaeilgeoirí maithe iad, tig leis an gCoiste, má bhíonn airgead sparála sa gciste, scoláireachtaí a thabhairt do dhaoine den tsórt seo.

2. Is fiú €254 sa mbliain ar feadh cheithre mblian gach Scoláireacht acu seo, ach beidh cead ag Coiste Scoláireachtaí na Gaeltachta scoláire a bhfuil an chéim bainte amach aige nó aici, d’ainmniú, ar chuntair áirithe, le haghaidh Scoláireachtaí den 5ú bhliain.

3. Duine ar bith atá ag cur isteach ar cheann de na Scoláireachtaí seo ní mór dhó Foirm Iarratais a fhail ón Oifig Iontrála, agus é a bheith istigh aige, líonta go dlisteanach, ar 1 Meán Fómhair, nó roimhe.

Cuirfear na gráid a bainfear amach (taobh amuigh den Ghaeilge) ag Scrúdú na hArdteistiméireachta san áireamh le haghaidh na Scoláireachtaí.

Má bhíonn pas faighte ag iarrthóir i níos mó ná cúig ábhair (taobh amuigh den Ghaeilge) is iad gráid na gcúig n-ábhar is fearr ar éirigh leis an iarrthóir iontu, a cuirfear san áireamh.

5. Ní mór d’iarrthóirí an Ardteistiméireacht a bhaint amach in aon iarracht amháin, na hábhair a bheith do réir mar tá luaite i riail 4 thuas.

9. An té a n-éireoidh leis Scoláireacht a bhaint amach, cuirfidh sé/sí in iúl don Oifig Iontrála, i dtosach an tSeisiúin cé na hábhair léinn ar mian leis/léi freastal orthu.
