Applicants with a disability
Students may require particular supports or reasonable
accommodations due to a disability or specific learning difficulty;
therefore it is important that Trinity College has notification
of these requirements in advance of admission to College.
Disclosure of a disability or specific learning difficulty will not
adversely affect your application in any way.
Disability Access Route to Education (DARE)
The Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) is a
supplementary admissions scheme for school leavers with
disabilities. DARE has been set up by a number of colleges
and universities as clear evidence shows that disability can
have a negative impact on how well a student does at school
and whether they go on to college.
School leavers who meet the eligibility criteria compete for
a quota of places allocated to applicants on a reduced points
basis in Trinity College Dublin. All applicants must meet the Irish
Leaving Certificate (or equivalent) matriculation/minimum entry
and subject requirements, see page 24.
