Welcome to the start of your college experience. It’s an exciting time, but a nerve-wracking one too. We know what it’s like to make the transition and we also know how to help you make it. We have a number of supports in place to help you enjoy these first steps on the journey that will lead to your independence, your education and eventually, your career.

INDUCTION

Induction is a programme of events which takes place before classes commence. On this page we have outlined just some of the events that will help you settle into college life. More Induction information will be available on the ATU Sligo Induction Page in September 2022.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STUDENT PROFILER

During Induction, each student will have the opportunity to complete a Student Profiler Assessment. The Student Profiler will give you a better understanding of your strengths and challenges. You will receive a report at the end of the assessment providing you with instant guidance. The assessment will also highlight any undiagnosed learning difficulties and point you in the direction of all the amazing supports available. This information and guidance will be instrumental as you start your journey here at ATU Sligo.
