Griffith College Students’ Union is the representative body for students within the College. As the largest independent College in Ireland, its primary role is to represent its members views and defend their interests both internal and external to the college. All students are actively encouraged to become involved in the Students’ Union so that they can directly influence and assist the Students’ Union during the year. The SU provides advice on welfare, health, accommodation, financial and academic matters in an effort to help students adjust to college life.
The student counseling service is there to talk to students or others in the Halls of Residences who are experiencing difficulties in their home or college lives. The service seeks to offer hospitality, support and care to students. They are there to listen regardless of the situation, offering confidentiality.
