We know that the transition to higher education for Mature & QQI learners can be a daunting prospect. To assist you in getting the best start to your studies, we are hosting a Pre-Orientation & Registration morning on Monday, 1 September from 9.00am – 2.30pm. 

This event is designed to introduce you to the College IT systems, help you to upskill in academic writing and explore Assistive Technology tools that can support you in your studies. It’s also a great opportunity to meet others starting their college journey. 

The orientation program includes a welcome and induction by your Programme Director and Academic Advisor, opportunities to meet student support staff and learn about available academic and pastoral services, an introductory session on academic standards for third-level expectations, social events with your class group and other students, an Active*Consent workshop facilitated by the College Nurse and Students’ Representative Team, a session with student representatives on how your voice is represented, an introduction to the IT Systems and how you can engage within the college, and chances to resolve registration or administrative queries.
