The Equal Access Survey is an annual, voluntary set of questions asked of all first-year undergraduate students to Higher Education Authority (HEA)-funded institutions. This survey includes but is not exclusive to new entrants. The questions are asked as part of the registration process at the start of the academic year.

Who conducts the Equal Access Survey?

The Equal Access Survey is conducted by your institution and data from the survey is returned to the HEA for analysis purposes.1

Why is the Equal Access Survey Conducted?

With information obtained from the Equal Access Survey, the HEA can measure progress on national targets relating to equity of access to higher education and can develop the evidence base to inform policy in this area.

What information is collected?

To help progress the goal of equal access to higher education for all, information is gathered on the disability, ethnicity (including members of the Irish Traveller and Roma communities), lone parenthood status and commute time of students to higher education.2

Is completing the Equal Access Survey Mandatory?

While all students are encouraged to complete the Equal Access Survey, it is not mandatory. However, answering the survey questions will help in developing a better understanding of the student population and their needs. Nonresponse may have an impact on institutional funding allocations.

^{1 Only aggregate anonymous data is published.}

^{2 The information gathered is protected by robust data protection policies in your institution and in the HEA, in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data protection legislation, and subject to oversight by the Data Protection Commission. Please see the HEA’s Data Privacy Notice at https://hea.ie/about-us/data_protection/}
