Waterford Institute of Technology have issued guidelines for students who are awaiting offers of college places, saying they will have as much on-campus activity as its permitted at the time.
Ahead of the CAO Change of Mind deadline of 1 July, WIT has shared information on what WIT freshers can expect college life to look like.
WIT President Prof Willie Donnelly says that since early March the institute has been adapting to new ways of course delivery and is now putting plans in place to ensure that students have an engaged college experience when they start here in September.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has created uncertainty across the world, and it has been a difficult few months for Leaving Cert students in particular. We would like to ease the burden for CAO applicants by sharing our conceptual plans of what student life will look like.”
“We may be in uncertain times, but we want to give students the certainty that WIT is actively planning for a student experience that will be student-centric and on-campus as much as is permitted within the guidelines at the time. We are very conscious that in tandem with getting course delivery right, that new first years get to enjoy the authentic student experience of new friends, new relationships, social and cultural activities, participating in sports clubs and societies. Our message is: you get your course research right and we will worry about the rest.”
