More Information: Limerick Institute of Technology is committed to promoting equitable access to and successful participation in higher education. Directed by the office of the Registrar, the LIT Access agenda flows from a philosophy of integration and social inclusiveness. Reporting directly to the Academic Affairs and Student Services Manager, the Access Service is managed by the Access Officer.
The aim of the access service is to support widening access for underrepresented learners by delivering
targeted strategies to promote, facilitate entry to and successful participation in higher education. These learner groups include:
• Learners who experience socio-economic disadvantage
• Learners with Disability and/or Specific Learning Difficulty
• Mature Learners
• Travellers and Ethnic Minorities
The role of the access service is to:
• Promote equal opportunities for access, participation and completion by delivering targeted strategies (pre and post entry) designed specifically to elicit the learners’ full potential so as to increase access to and success in higher education by individuals who are traditionally underrepresented.
• Meet prospective/current learners and ascertain which interventions may be required to enable entry to, and participation in the academic programmes of the Institute.
• Enable learners to participate in their chosen programme by sourcing and delivering reasonable accommodations.
• Ongoing dialogue with all stakeholder groups to acknowledge and address the broad array of academic, financial and personal barriers facing potential learners.
• Work in collaboration with the Student Support Services Team and Institute wide staff in the delivery of pre/post entry initiatives.
• Liaise with local and national education providers, statutory and voluntary agencies and local community groups to support access and participation in education in line with local and national strategic objectives.

More Information: The Institute welcomes applications from students who have a disability.
“A student is disabled if he or she requires a facility which is not part of the mainstream provision of the college concerned, to enable participation in the college to the full extent of her or his ability/capabilities and without which she or he would be educationally disadvantaged in comparison to peers.” (HEA/AHEAD,1993)
Students are advised to contact the Access Officer to arrange an appointment to discuss the facilities or support services required. It shall be the responsibility of the student to arrange for and produce a *report before the Institute can provide any special educational requirements.

PLEASE NOTE: Accommodations received for Leaving Certificate exams under the RACE scheme (Reasonable Accommodations in Certificate Exams) do not qualify a student for support in 3rd level. The appropriate Assessment referenced above must be provided.
* All other students with a disability must provide Limerick Institute of Technology with a recent report by a Medical Consultant/Specialist verifying their disability. Please note that General Practitioner (G.P.) letters are generally not accepted as suitable medical evidence.
The purpose of providing a report to Limerick Institute of Technology is to assess the relevant support which the student might require in the context of the impact that the students disability may have on his/her academic studies. It is therefore necessary that the report should outline:
- The detail of the student’s disability
- The impact of the disability on the student with regards to the demands of the academic programme
- Recommendations for reasonable accommodations/supports which might be appropriate for the student in the context of higher education
Where a disability becomes apparent during a student’s attendance at Limerick Institute of Technology, the student should contact the Access Officer who will support the student and assist with any necessary information.
The Access Service will take every reasonable action to ensure that specific requirements are met and that all students are able to participate as fully as is practicable in the academic and social life of the Institute. Supports available to student with a disability who register with the Access Service include:
- Specialist Support for students with specific learning difficulties
- Learning Support Tutor for student’s with specific learning difficulties
- Assistive Technology
- Assistive Technology Training & Support
- Additional Extra Tuition
- Academic or Personal Assistants.*
- Specific Examination Accommodations (including: Reader, Scribe, Alternative Examination Venues, Technological Aids, Rest Breaks)
- Financial Assistance from the ESF Fund for Students with Disabilities.
*PLEASE NOTE: Where Personal Assistants are required, this must be organised personally by the student, prior to commencing your college course. The college will process an application on behalf of the student, if required, to the SWD fund (Students with Disabilities) to cover the costs of hiring the personal assistant. Please contact the Access Officer for further details.
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to Limerick Institute of Technology.
