4. Quickscan Assessment & Learning Traits Screener
The Quickscan Assessment is operated by ATU- Donegal Learning Support Unit - The Curve. This test is conducted to determine your preferred learning styles, and as an aid to identify any specific learning strengths and weaknesses you may have, some, perhaps you may not have been aware of. The test itself is a simple computerised test that takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. The results of this test are used to identify students who may need additional support via The Curve, e.g., for study skills, general language skills, maths, dyspraxia, visual stress, or with general learning confidence.
The Quickscan Assessment is also undertaken on Registration Day.
The Learning Traits Screener will help students identify their own unique learning traits. This will be of great benefit to students as they come to term with independent learning in the college setting. The screener is based on the work of William Dodson M.D. an international expert in this field. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. If you should have any queries about the screener please contact the Curve room 3456.
5. Garda Vetting (where applicable)
A number of courses at ATU-Donegal require students to obtain Garda Vetting.
Students who have applied for these courses will receive a Garda Vetting form via link
here. It is essential that the completed form, along with appropriate ID, ( Garda Vetting Information ) are brought with you to stage 2 of the on-campus registration activities for
these codes will be provisional until Garda Vetting is successfully completed.
