Student budgetary advice
Your student experience can be as exciting and adventurous as you want it to be. It means more freedom and more responsibility in terms of your studies, and also in terms of managing your money.
College life can be expensive if you allow it to be, but with good sensible budgeting practices, you can help keep your expenses to a minimum.
Cian de Paor is UCC's Student Budgetary Advisor. He can assist you in the following areas:
- SUSI
- Social Welfare
- 1916 Bursary
- New Avenues to Teaching
- Budgeting and financial planning
You can make an appointment with Cian at any time.
The Student Finacial Supports and Budgetary Advice website is also full of useful information, and if you experience further financial difficulties while attending UCC, you can also apply for the Student Assistance Fund.
Bystander Intervention Module
UCC's Bystander Intervention module is designed to enable a progressive and effective culture around the issues of sexual violence and harassment at university. This module seeks to not only enhance knowledge and understanding but also attitude and behavioural change across the university.

You must complete the Bystander Intervention module as part of your orientation.
