 Helpful Tips on Personal Responsibility

1.    Never leave your personal property unattended. It’s worth remembering if you don’t want to be out of pocket to replace expensive items

2.    If you have parked your Car on Campus remember to keep your Keys on you at all time as they are an expensive item to replace

3.    IF you lose your Student ID Card, the replacement Fee is €20 and once reprinted it activates after 6 hours on all systems i.e. room access, printing, Library Turnstiles etc.

4.    Please remember to write your Student ID on your College Textbooks to ensure successful return in the case of loss.
