The accommodation office opens on a full time basis from early August for six weeks for first year students and is available on a part time basis from mid-September onwards. The service is based on:1. Personal Referral: Whereby each student is referred to a given address. 2. Personnel Inspection: Whereby each student inspects his/her accommodation. Students organise their accommodation and with the help of the Accommodation Service staff can obtain a Housing List by going online: www.lit.ie/accommodation [56]

(Locks should be preferably lever locks!) • Never hide keys outside the house. • Ask your landlord to install an outside light above the front door so that you can see callers clearly after dark. • Do not smoke in bed. • Please ask landlord to provide smoke alarms.

Whatever campus you travel to our preference is that you come on foot or by bicycle if you can or by public transport. At both Moylish and Clare Street we charge for car parking. The reasons for this are twofold, one, there are limited spaces and two, to discourage car use. Limerick Institute of Technology is a partner with Limerick Smarter Travel and together we are working towards providing more sustainable ways to access our campuses. Various promotions and events are held each year and you are encouraged to take part.
