On the 12 March 2020, the Irish Government announced all schools and higher education institutions should close. UCC closed its campus, provided online teaching and learning, maintained critical research activity and its staff worked remotely. 

On 8 May the Irish Government published a phased approach towards the resumption of the Irish economy. UCC will ensure a gradual resumption of activities on campus over the coming months in line with the Government’s guidance. This website provides information for our students, prospective students, staff and contractors during this time.
