Support from UCC PLUS+

Once admitted to a degree programme in UCC, HEAR/UCC PLUS⁺ students are eligible to receive many supports throughout their time in University.

From August 30th 2021 The UCC PLUS+ Programme Team are both back on campus and working from home, to ensure students continue to have access to our supports.  Teaching and assessment will mainly be on-campus lectures but the capacity of some lecture theatres may require some online learning, as determined by the latest Government advice on social distancing measures.

UCC PLUS+ Supports include:

• A dedicated Support Officer to facilitate your transition to College Life and onward progression to finishing your degree.
• A customised UCC PLUS+ Orientation Programme for first year students which has been tailored for a mix of Online delivery in 2021 and in-person, on-campus tours of our location in the new HUB building. 
• Financial bursary, if available.
• Academic support (if required) in the form of extra tuition.
• Workshops to help you with essay-writing, study skills, time management, money management amongst others.
• Access to a dedicated UCC PLUS+ student Resource Room in the new HUB building pending lifting of Covid-19 access restrictions to campus. 
• Use of computer equipment including the loan of computer notebooks.
• An allocation of free printing credit loaded on to your student card when you register for College, for use in the Resource Room. 
• On-going personal support and guidance from academic mentors and the UCC PLUS⁺ Staff.
• Information and referrals to Other Student Support Services of the University.
• UCC PLUS+  students will be contacted directly after registration to discuss the availability of laptops as part of the package of supports offered by the Government during Covid-19 lockdown measures.
