All registered Carlow College, St. Patrick’s students are automatically members of the Students’ Union (CCSU). CCSU ensures that the views of students are represented at all levels within the College, and at local and national platforms. We work collaboratively with various College functions to promote student engagement and to ensure you have a positive student experience throughout your studies.
A few of the main events we organise during the year are Fresher’s Week, RAG Week, College parties, S.H.I.F.T Week, S.H.A.G Week, Halloween Dress-Up, Christmas Jumper Day, quizzes, lip-sync, and karaoke.
We are based in the Student Resource Building and our SU Officers can provide information and advice on all student-related issues – call in anytime for a chat or just to relax!

Alison Whelehan - CCSU President
I’ve just completed my BA (Hons) in Psychology and I’m extremely passionate about the subject! I absolutely adored my time here as a student. It’s really special and wholesome to now be representing students in this role. You’ll find me in the SU Office in the Student Resource Building to the rear of the college – drop in and say Hi!
