CIT Academic Delivery Model 2020

10 September, 2020

Dear students,
In the past few months, you, the classes of 2020, have seen cancelled final year balls, race days and other pinnacle events on the college social calendar. You have experienced placements either postponed or cancelled. Erasmus students returning home. You sat and watched your lectures unfold across zoom. You showed utter patience and respect to lecturers trying their best, learning how to get their content and classes online. You had to adapt to a completely changing environment and sit exams in a way you never had to before.
Most of you did this while serving the country in part time jobs that became full time. Our social care students along with others continued to serve on the front line.
You, the student population have showed that you are resilient.
Rest assured that your Students’ Union have been working flat to the mat all summer, alongside management to ensure your best interests are at the forefront of every single decision made. Some include; waiving the repeat fees, removing capping of repeat exams and for those who wanted to repeat to improve did so for free.
So, please find below live links of the Acadmeic Plan for 2020/2021 for all years. This should also offer clarity for students who are still uncertain whether or not to sign into accommodation contracts…

We acknowledge that this took quite some time to plan, by all involved, who were waiting for government guidance. Your patience was greatly appreciated.
I have no doubt that this year will be a challenging one but the sheer determination, resilience and compassion shown by our CIT community is not to be undermined.
Please don’t hesitate to contact myself (Aisling), Cian (VP Welfare) or Zack (VP Education) with any queries big or small.
We are still here for you and because of you.
