There are generally four reasons why students cannot access their account so you should run through this check list to see if any apply to you.

No, they're not the same. The ID and PIN that you need to access Module Selection Student Self Service is the same ID and PIN which you used to register on your programme with DIT and access your exam results.

Your pin may have been disabled for a variety of reasons; examples below:

1. Immediately before exam results are released all student pins are blocked to allow input of results, therefore you should wait to recieve an email from your exams office notifying you that your results are available to view before contacting them regarding a disabled pin. 

2. If you have outstanding fees for the academic year; if this is the case you need to contact the fees office on 01-4027500 or email studentfees@dit.ie and arrange to pay your fees. Once your fees have been paid your pin will be unblocked and you can then access module selection.

3. I have tried to log in but have made too many attempts and now my pin is disabled.  Please contact your local exams office to have your pin reset dont forget you should wait to recieve an email from your exams office notifying you that your results are available to view before contacting them regarding a disabled pin.
