Sligo Induction

The following groups of students will be invited to attend an orientation event before the main induction day:

• Mature Students 

• Students on the DARE scheme

• Students on the HEAR scheme 

• Students in receipt of Access Scholarships and 1916 Bursaries 

• International Students

• Neurodiverse Students

These sessions are designed to give you specific information relevant to your situation, help answer any questions you might have, advise on common issues and explain the supports that are available as well as helping you get to know the campus. 

You will be invited to attend via email and further information will be provided.  

Your induction day will take place over a full-day on campus. All new students must attend. Dates and schedules will be available in late August.

The induction day aims to be fun and interactive. It gives you a chance to:

• Meet your classmates

• Get to know the campus

• Meet your lecturers

• Get more information about your programme and timetable

• Find out more about student life

• Learn about the supports available for you

Our #First5weeks Welcome Programme starts in September on the first week of term with the start of lectures and is open to all new and existing students.  

This programme is designed to help you to settle into college life and to make the transition to third-level education easier. Each week we have a different theme to help you discover the college’s academic, learning and social supports available here on campus. 

Look out for details of all that is happening in our weekly newsletter, on social media and on posters around campus.
