Unexpected situations can arise, and we recognise that some students may need emergency financial support at different points during their studies. If this applies to you, there are a number of supports and services available that may be able to help.

We encourage you to make an appointment with the International Student Support Team by emailing internationalsupport@ucc.ie where we can discuss your situation and outline the options that may be available.

 You can also book an appointment at a time that suits you using this link.
