Student Toolkit

First year transition is complex. Students have to organise their own learning, manage their new study & social schedules, build new friendships & social networks and adjust to the requirements & responsibility of college styles of learning & teaching. SESU hopes to ensure effective transition by supporting students in progressing to the appropriate course, settling into college life & succeeding as higher education learners. Initiatives to enhance transition include a number of talks including transition to third level education, health, wellbeing & resilience, nutrition, living in Dublin and the big smoke.

Student Success Toolbox

The aim of the Student Success Toolbox is to support transitions from thinking about study to the first weeks to increase retention and completion rates particularly for flexible learners.

The Student Success Toolbox project is supported by the National Forum for Teaching and Learning Building Digital Capacity fund.

Attendance Matters

Attendance Matters highlights the findings of a Student Attendance Review for the Academic Year 2015/16 conducted by Dr. Garry Prentice & Shane O’Regan. SESU stresses the importance that every lecture counts and we encourage students to attend all classes, tutorials & seminars that take place across the college year. As per GNIB regulations, International students require a minimum of 85% attendance.
