Terms & Conditions

A clear, student‑friendly overview of the main terms that apply when you use the Dorset College Dublin website and when you interact with us (enquiries, applications and enrolments).

🗓️ Last updated: INSERT DATE 🧭 Links included here are public policy pages only

✨ In simple terms

We aim to make our policies easy to find and easy to understand. This page explains the key points in plain language and links you to the official public policy pages where the full detail lives.

Important: Programme-specific documents (for example your offer letter, invoice, programme handbook and/or course regulations) may include additional rules that apply to your course. Where relevant, those documents take priority for your enrolment.
