What is a CRN and why is it important?
CRN stands for 'Course Reference Number'.
Each of the Courses that you study at CIT will have a CRN to identify your classes/subjects for that course/program.
You will see the CRN(s) listed on documents such as your Unofficial Transcript, your Student Schedule and your Statement of Account (but not on your Invoice).
The CRN is also used in the transfer of information from the Student Information Management System to the eLearn system. If you find that you cannot access one of your courses in eLearn, it will help to resolve the problem more quickly if you know the CRN.
How do I print my Student timetable?
To print a copy of your schedule:
- select "Student Detailed Timetable" from the Students Menu
- select a term and submit the request
- print the screen using your web browsers print features
What are Holds?
A 'hold' is a block on your student record that can prevent you from re-enrolling, borrowing resources, receiving results or even graduating.
The two main types of hold are financial (due to outstanding fees) or library (due to outstanding library materials). There is also a returned mail hold which is applied when mail is returned to CIT because you are no longer at the address recorded on Banner. This hold is only applied if CIT is unable to contact you in order to obtain your current address.
If you need assistance regarding a hold on your record, you should contact the Student Services Hub on (02) 620 73188.
Can I print an unofficial transcript?
Clicking the Unofficial Transcript link in CIT Student Self Service will display your unofficial transcript of results.
This feature is intended to allow you to view your Unofficial Transcript online but you can print it as well, using your web browsers print features.
To obtain an Official Academic Transcript you need to fill in an application form, available from the Student Services Hub or you can download it from the CIT Website by entering Application for Award in the search box.
When will grades (results) be available?
Subject grades are generally available one week after the end of each semester (i.e. week 19).
It is important to know that the results your teacher may release in eLearn are just results for specific pieces of assessment. They are not your official results. Official results can only be obtained from the Student Information Management System (CIT Student Self Service).
CIT does not mail out Results Notices, you will need to check in CIT Student Self Service to find your official results.
If your student record has a 'hold' applied to it your results will be withheld.
