UCD and NUIG have decided to continue to operate all teaching and learning activities online for the remainder of the first semester, following the Taoiseach’s announcement on Monday night that the country would move to Level 3 restrictions for the next three weeks. UCD management initially moved the university to Level 4 on September 18th, with all classes to be delivered online for three weeks of Dublin’s Level 3 restrictions. However, NUI Galway announced its decision today to move all teaching and learning online until after Christmas. Some students living in campus accommodation at UCD have called for the same response from UCD management to refund students who wish to return home this semester. Students living on campus in UCD are not allowed to have any visitors due to the university operating under Level 4 restrictions.
