Student Welfare Officer
Maeve Gilmore is the Welfare Officer in Student Life. She will listen to you and help talk through the supports available, as well as signposting you to the appropriate service. You can email Maeve at studentwelfare@ul.ie
Support with your work
If your academic work is being affected because of your experience, then it would be helpful to let your lecturer know, or your course director.
You can decide how much information to share with them about your experience.
However, it is important to let them know that your work is being affected so they can help with the adjustments you need to continue with your studies or to take a break from work if that would be more helpful to you.
Dignity and Respect Policy
UL has a cohesive and clear Dignity and Respect Policy for students. This Policy clearly sets out behaviours which will not be tolerated, as well as the reporting procedures that are in place to deal with reports and complaints.
If at the end of an investigation the complaint is substantiated, the Student Code of Conduct will be invoked (Section 6) and disciplinary action may be taken.
