This keeps students up to date on college news, important notifications, events and the college calendar. It also gives students access to relevant forms, Timetabler and allows them to book different services available here in the college, directly through the app such as the Jobs Hub, Student Supports or the Skills Hub.

The campus operates a laptop loan scheme for students in all of our locations. An application form is available from Course Directors early in the term for access to a laptop for the year and successful students can collect laptops from the office shortly after that. 

A number of tutorials in various subject areas (including English) are available on a regular basis. The subject areas covered vary from year to year. The current information can be found on the Student Intranet and the Student App, where you can book an appointment.

All students are issued with a student ID Card. The Campus reserves the right to withhold an ID card that is used inappropriately.

A Student ID card will be for the duration of your programme of study and will be reissued each year as you progress through a programme. There is €15 fee charged for the replacement of a lost ID (payable at reception).

Information sessions on progressions options are facilitated for all courses regularly throughout the year.
