Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Higher Education Institutions are autonomous institutions and are entitled to regulate their own academic affairs and administrative processes. Allowing access to campuses is therefore a matter for each institution to decide. Students should contact their HEI directly in relation to requests to retrieve course work from the campus.
