Admissions and the DARE Scheme<br />
<strong>LIT</strong> is a member of the Disability Access Route to Education<br />
(DARE) Scheme.<br />
School-leavers with a disability applying for full time<br />
undergraduate programmes at <strong>LIT</strong> should apply via the Central<br />
Applications Office (CAO), indicating on their application that<br />
they have a disability or specific learning difficulty.<br />
What is the DARE Scheme?<br />
The Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) is a third<br />
level alternative admissions scheme which offers reduced<br />
points places to school leavers who as a result of having a<br />
disability have experienced additional educational challenges in<br />
second level education. The DARE Code of Practice details<br />
<strong>LIT</strong>’s admission policy for eligible DARE applicants. Detailed<br />
information is available on the DARE website at<br />
www.accesscollege.ie/dare<br />
Who can apply to DARE?<br />
DARE is for school leavers under the age of 23 as of 1st<br />
January 2018, who have the ability to benefit from and<br />
succeed in higher education, but who may not be able to meet<br />
the points for their preferred course due to the impact of a<br />
disability on their second level education. Applicants to DARE<br />
can present with an Irish Leaving Certificate, A-Levels and<br />
other EU qualifications.<br />
