The ethos of the Students’ Union is to provide quality services on a non-profit making basis to students. Whenever, possible services are provided at a lower price than any other retail outlet on campus or in the local vicinity.  The range of goods and services available from the Office/Retail Outlet include:  The Students’ Union and Office/Retail Outlet is open daily from 9.00 am to 5.00pm.

Lab Coats and Goggles

Photocopying Service

The Union co-ordinates the selling and the buying of second hand academic books among students.   The book for sale is handed into the Union and the student selling the book recommends a sale price.  The Union takes no commission and a full list of books will be available from the Union website, www.citsu.ie .  When you see a book you wish to purchase, just call into the Union.  This is a new service which we hope to develop and improve over the next year.

We retail student commuter tickets (weekly and monthly) for local/urban buses including the Cobh Rail service, as well as monthly return and single provincial bus tickets (which can be purchased Thursday through to Friday).

Local and national bus and rail timetables are available from the Students’ Union website, notice board and main office.

The Union facilitates the processing of Iarnród Éireann Cards which provide discounted rail travel in Ireland (Iarnród Éireann) will set up a stand on campus a number of times during the year). Please note that your CIT college ID is sufficient for student travel discounts with Bus Éireann national services.
