CIT - Cork Institute of Technology

The Learning Support Centre provides students with additional assistance and resources to complement their course lectures.

The well appointed suite of rooms with internet access and printing and copying facilities provides a student-centred environment, where students can meet with subject lecturers in a relaxed setting outside of the classroom to discuss any queries they might have on a subject.

Subject support sessions are provided by lecturers on a weekly basis during each term of the academic year, and in addition a highly successful summer programme has been provided for students taking repeat exams. Individual sessions have also been provided where feasible and appropriate. The sessions are free and open to all students taking the subject as part of their course. Students have attended from a broad spectrum of disciplines Science, Engineering, Computing and Building and Architecture. Many of the regular attendees have built up good communication with the lecturers resulting in increased confidence facing assessments and exams. In turn lecturers who have delivered walk-in subject clinics have gained valuable additional insights into the student learning experience.

Information on the Centre’s activities is disseminated via student publications, course lecturers, dedicated notice boards throughout the campus and the Centres own website .

The CIT Learning Support Centre is funded under the Higher Education Authority’s Information Technology Investment Fund.

The centre’s activities dovetails with the retention initiatives sponsored by the EOD Department.
