Greetings from the International Office at DCU.  We hope this message finds you all well and healthy.  Given the current global situation regarding COVID 19 (coronavirus), we wanted to contact you regarding the precautions and actions being taken by the University to ensure everyone's health and safety.

 

DCU is updating students and staff via this website - https://www.dcu.ie/coronavirus/index.shtml - so keep checking this website for any updates or new information.  Today the decision was made to switch to online delivery of all courses from Monday, 16th March.  Therefore, students will not be required to be present on campus, and have been advised that it may be in their best interest to return to their home countries.  Please see the email that was sent to all currently registered students by the University's Chief Operating Officer this afternoon below. 

 

We are working through a very uncertain period and, while DCU is working hard to ensure that all students are adequately supported.  We understand that you may receive queries from any of your currently enrolled students, so I wanted to make sure you had the most up to date information.  As always, thanks for your help, understanding and flexibility during this challenging time.

International students currently studying on campus at DCU are also advised, if feasible, to return to their home country.
