Access Office
The role of the Access Office is to encourage and support categories of students who have not been traditionally represented in third level education. Specifically these are students with disabilities or special needs, those from disadvantaged backgrounds and mature students, to make the transition to third level education and to participate fully and progress within their course of study. Students in these categories will receive support at pre-entry, upon entry as well as during their course of study. This includes special initiatives such as the Mature Student Summer School, Breaking the Mould Initiative, the Childcare and Student Assistance Funds.
The Access Office has three members of staff, all of whom are located on the first floor of the Student Services Centre (beside the Sanctuary).
