Terms and Conditions

If a student wishes to cancel their place at Dunboyne College due to a third-level offer or any other reason, they must send an email to the office before Friday 4th October 2024.

As there is usually a high demand for places, interviews will be conducted for all courses. Prospective students are encouraged to apply early. Once a place is offered applicants will have a set deadline by which they should accept or reject the offer. After the deadline the offer will lapse.

It is important to note that all courses at Dunboyne College are considered full-time, even though students may receive direct tuition at the college for only 3-4 days per week. Students will be timetabled for work experience on one day a week unless block placement applies to their course. The remaining days are expected to be utilised for work experience, studying, and completing assignments.

Any official letter confirming a student’s registration will state that the course is full-time.

Timetables for the courses will be issued in September and are subject to change.
