Supports and Services

‌‌Year Committees and Staff-Student Meetings

Within the Department, it is the responsibility of certain staff members to oversee each year group and to ensure that the teaching and assessment for all the courses in each year is administered and delivered efficiently and effectively.  The Year Committees also arrange for students to act as representatives for the year group by attending staff-student meetings.  Staff-Student meetings are an important way for students to voice their opinion and give feedback so why not consider becoming a rep?  And do always remember that you should find out who your reps are, and let them know of any issues you think are important and need to be brought to the attention of the Department.

Teaching Officer

Dr Ken Rooney k.rooney@ucc.ie is the Teaching Officer, and one of his responsibilities is to advise students who may be having difficulty with their studies due to illness, family circumstances, etc.
