ATU to host Open Evening at Letterkenny campus
Atlantic Technological University (ATU) will host an Open Evening at its Letterkenny campus on Thursday, 7 May 2026, from 4.00pm to 6.30pm, offering prospective students and their families a valuable opportunity to explore university life and gain key guidance ahead of the CAO ‘Change of Mind’ deadline.
The Open Evening is open to Leaving Certificate students, parents, guardians, mature applicants and guidance counsellors, and will provide practical insight into courses, supports, and pathways available at ATU.
Visitors will have the chance to take part in guided campus tours, departing from the main reception every 30 minutes from 4.30pm, giving attendees an up-close look at facilities, teaching spaces and student amenities available at the Letterkenny campus.
A series of informative talks will take place during the evening:
- CAO ‘Change-of-Mind’ Process – 5.00pm (Lecture theatre 1102)
A practical session covering everything students need to know about the CAO, including important dates, the CAO ‘Change of Mind’ process, and new course options. - Supporting the Leap to University – 5.30pm (Lecture theatre 1101)
Designed specifically for parents and guardians, this session explores the transition from school to university, student support services, and how families can help students succeed both academically and personally.
Representatives from the eleven academic departments at the Letterkenny campus will be represented at the event, with staff from ATU’s admissions office, fees and grants, student support services, and Student Union on hand to answer questions and queries.
