Through Campus Ministry, there is a focus on the enrichment of the faith
community on campus, where members of the University community can freely
gather to share faith, respecting their own and other religious traditions.
There are regular celebrations of Mass and times of prayer, retreats and
celebrations of special occasions. Campus Ministry offers individual pastoral
support and spiritual mentoring to students and staff. Campus Ministry
enters into engagement with the University community to promote social
justice through debate, commitment to action and community engagement
activities. Opportunities are provided for leadership development.
Counselling
Counselling services (free, voluntary, and confidential) are available
to assist students with psychological, personal and relationship issues
and provide referral and advocacy where appropriate. Counselling is available
by appointment.
Disability
and Medical Conditions
The University seeks to provide appropriate services for students with
disabilities. The University can do this providing needs are made known
in advance. Students who may require assistance during their studies because
of a disability or medical condition are encouraged to make an early approach
to a Disability Adviser or the relevant Course Co-ordinator; they are
also requested to indicate such needs at enrolment. Students with temporary
disabilities arising from accidents or illness experienced during the
year should make known their needs if services are required.
Those
who have a disability or a chronic medical condition and who are considering
applying to the University for the first time should contact the Disability
Adviser at any time in the year before enrolment, to discuss disability
related services.
