DARE and HEAR Information Sessions - 11th January 2024
A DARE and HEAR information session will take place at universities across Ireland this Saturday, 11th of January from 10am-2pm.  
These events give DARE and HEAR applicants a chance to meet one-on-one with DARE and HEAR Practitioners, ask questions about their application and gain insights into the kind of supports their local college or university provides for students who apply to DARE or HEAR.
Please see all the locations below, along with the links to register your interest. You are asked to register just to ensure each location knows who will be attending, you are not required to register.
You do not have to attend the information day at the higher education institute you plan to apply to. Instead, you can choose the location most convenient for you. As such you may decide to attend the DARE and HEAR information session at ATU Sligo.
These information days are designed to help students, parents, and guardians in their application to DARE and HEAR in 2025.

Exemptions

It is important to note that exemptions are a seperate matter to supplying HEIs with information about a disability or specific learning difficulty. 

If an applicant, for any reason, is seeking exemptions from minimum entry requirements (e.g. exemptions from Irish or modern language requirements) then they should contact the Admissions Offices of the Hgher Education Institutions they are applying to (or, in the case of NUI institutions they should apply to the NUI without delay and no later than 21 days after opening their CAO account - see www.nui.ie for details).

Applicants must make arrangements for exemptions each year they apply.
