DIT Access/Hear orientation week?

iiHyPeRize

Hey, my brother got accepted to DIT, and he's in the Access programe. I checked and the Access /Hear orientation week is from this Monday to Friday, yet no letter ha been sent out to say if you have to go or not, where you have to go etc..? Anyone else on access get a letter about it? I'm currently in DCU, and when I did access, we all got letter saying what time to be there at, and an entire schedule, nothing from DIT yet? Also is it compulsory you attend the DIT access week thing?

Hi, I too applied for the HEAR scheme and after accepting my college place I got an email, both from HEAR and DIT, about the orientation week. They asked to fill in some details and if I can remember correctly it had to be done by the 25th or something.
