Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Universities Act 1997, universities are autonomous with regard to their administrative and academic affairs. This includes in relation to their on-campus student accommodation.
While UL does have student accommodation available for student with special needs, the eligibility criteria for this accommodation and how it is allocated are a matter for the university itself. UL authorities are in the best position to provide further information on this.
