# Attending Your Sessions
You can find your room and building location on your course page on the LMS under the Room, Building & Useful Information unit. Your On Campus classes will be held in the UCD O'Brien Centre for Science situated at Stillorgan Rd, Belfield, Dublin 4. Directions on how to find the building can be found [**here**](https://www.google.com/maps/place/O'Brien+Centre+for+Science/@53.30828,-6.223724,17z/data=!3m2!4b1!5s0x486709314bafadcb:0x6fe0c9a90de1cdfc!4m5!3m4!1s0x4867093147b7b191:0xa78e433dfece4bc9!8m2!3d53.30828!4d-6.223724). The building is modern and at the heart of the campus, and easily accessible by public transport.
UCD PA staff will be on campus the first evening of your course to assist you in locating your class.
In the event of any room changes throughout your course, you can find the specific room for each session in the calendar event on your LMS ‘Dashboard’ page.
#### **General Information**
Courses are part-time (one evening per week from 6.30-9.30pm) at the UCD Campus, Dublin 4.
On Campus learners are not required to bring their laptops unless they would like to access their LMS from the classroom.
Regrettably, On Campus learners do not receive access to any of the UCD services such as the library, printers and gym as our courses are so short.
#### **Parking/Travel Information**
Public transport is one of the best ways to get to and from UCD. The campus is well served by bus routes and has bus links to Sydney Parade Dart Station and Dundrum Luas Station. The easiest way to get to the UCD O'Brien Science Building is from the N11 Dual Carriageway. There is a car park available at UCD University Club (also known UCD Car Park N2). You can find detailed information/maps on commuting to UCD [**here**](https://www.myucd.ie/visiting-ucd/transport-links/).
A number of parking spaces are designated as pay and display and premium spaces. These spaces have respective charges of €1 per hour and €2.40 per hour during the period 8am - 5pm, Monday to Friday, all year round.
#### **Attendance**
We do encourage attendance, where possible, but it will not directly influence your overall grade, as this is calculated based on work submitted only.
If you cannot attend a particular session, that’s not a problem and there is no need to let us know. We understand that not all learners can attend every session, which is why we provide revision videos on the LMS for you to use to catch up.
