Examinations

On the Thurles Campus, exams are normally held in G05 (Halla).

On the Limerick Campus, majority of MIC examinations take place in one of the halls in Tailteann (Sports Building). 

The following is the breakdown for Limerick Campus Examination venues:

TN and/or T1/2/3 = Tailteann 

T1.18/T2.16/T3.14 = Tara Building (1st/2nd/3rd Floor)

SG4/S1/S2 = Summerville House (Ground/1st/2nd Floor)

G37/ 115/204/315 = Foundation Building (Ground/1st/2nd/3rd Floor)

If you have lost your ID Card during the semester - replace it before it comes to Examination time, this will save you a lot of last-minute panics. 

If you have lost your ID Card in the days leading up to exams, please complete this form and pay the fee here to obtain a new card. You will be notified by the SAA Office when your card is ready for collection.

If you require a new ID Card urgently, please go to the SAA Office in room 112 (Foundation Building) as soon as possible.

Students on the Thurles campus are advised to contact ThurlesAdmin@mic.ul.ie if they need a replacement card. 

There is a €10.00 fee for a replacement Student ID Card. 

Please note, you cannot sit your examinations without a valid student ID card.

If you miss an exam, you need to contact Student Academic Administration ASAP. Please do so at SAA@mic.ul.ie (Limerick campus) or ThurlesAdmin@mic.ul.ie (Thurles campus). If you need any advice or guidance, please contact misupres@mic.ul.ie. 

If you come out of an exam and you feel overwhelmed and need some support, drop by us at the SU for a chat or make contact with the MIC Counselling Service.

We are all here to help you in any way that we can, don't suffer in silence or on your own!

An I-Grade allows you to take the module assessment again over the summer without any academic penalty.

Once you have submitted an I-Grade, you can't withdraw your application, so any work done on module assignments up until that point will not be considered.

In the case of exams, you cannot apply for an I-Grade if you've already attempted to sit the exam.

MIC Limerick students seeking I-Grades can submit their online I-Grade application here. Please upload supporting documentation with your online I-Grade application. 

MIC Thurles students seeking I-Grades should submit their I-Grade application directly to Paula Hourigan(Paula.Hourigan@mic.ul.ie).  I-Grade application forms can be downloaded here.

All applicants must complete all sections of the application process regardless of which category of I-Grade you are selecting.

The four categories available are:

1. Student Health Centre/External Health Centre
2. Counselling Department
3. Chaplaincy Office
4. Bereavement

The regulations pertaining to the I-Grade process are covered within section 4.2.3 of the MIC Handbook of Academic Regulations and Procedures.

If you receive an Action Report and are unsure of what your options are, you should contact your Faculty Office (Arts Office / Education Office / MIC Thurles Office) to discuss your options with them. We strongly recommend students do this before registering for Annual Repeat exams.   

Please read your Action Report carefully as it contains important information regarding your progression

The MISU President and MISU Staff are also available if you have queries about how to proceed with repeats.

Information on Annual Repeat Eligibility is available on the MIC Student SharePoint Portal.

Registration for the Annual Repeats will open in June 2026 after the Spring Semester results have been released.

If a student is required to repeat a module(s) from either the autumn or spring semester, they will be able to register for the Annual Repeats at that time. 

Please follow these steps to register and pay for your Annual Repeat(s):

1. Open your internet browser and go to Register.mic.ul.ie and log in with your student email and network logon password.
2. On the homepage select the button labelled 'Resits'.
3. From the Resits page, your mandatory resits will be preselected. You can choose any voluntary resits you wish to take by selecting the check box next to each module.
   Please note that you can only repeat a maximum of four modules per year or two modules if you have completed only one semester. This limit excludes I-Grades. There is no maximum limit for repeating I-Grades.
4. Once you have completed your choice press the 'Process' button to complete your registration.
5. You can view your registration by selecting the 'Resits' button from the home page.

It is essential that you complete your repeat registration before the deadline or you may be liable for a late registration fee of €30.

If you apply for a Grade Recheck and the outcome is successful, and as a result you are not required to repeat a module(s), the Recheck Fee will be refunded to you.

If you received an 'I' grade in any module the Autumn or Spring semester it is essential that you register for these modules in the Annual Repeats, even though you may have cleared the I-Grade at this point, otherwise it will not be possible to grade your module(s). 

Optional Repeat Registration:

If your QCA is already over 2.00 with no deficient grades but you have some D1 and/or D2 grades, you are entitled to progress to the next year without repeating modules unless otherwise specified in the Programme Specific Regulations for your programme.

However, you may opt to clear the D1 or D2 grades (i.e. to upgrade them to a Pass grade–capped at C3) by voluntarily sitting Annual Repeats subject to the above criteria.

If you receive a worse grade in the repeats, the original grade will remain. 

Final year students who are eligible to graduate may not elect to repeat modules in which they have received D1 or D2 grades.
