We also represent students throughout disciplinary and appeal processes.

DKITSU Constitution

The Constitution is basically a document that sets out the fundamentals of how the Students’ Union operates. The latest version was adopted by the student body of Dundalk Institute of Technology on 12/03/2019. It clearly states that DKITSU is autonomous in it’s decision making and derives it’s authority from this constitution.

The Constitution a cross between a roadmap and a bible, and if you can understand the Constitution, you understand how the Union works. So read it!

Student Charter

The Student Charter was created between DKITSU and DkIT to ensure that all students will be represented and cared for throughout their time within DkIT. It also explains what is expected from students while attending DkIT. The Students Union fully supports this charter.
