conor2007

btw

everybody is entitles to 'free' 3rd level education. you just pay 'registration' or whatever it is called in the college of your choice.

however, i have a feeling that if you drop out you have renaged on your choice and so forfeit your free fees. if you choose to re-apply then you will have to pay full fees, as in the rates which apply to private or to overseas students.

I THINK!!!!!! give the college in question a call and find out! all call the cao to get their end of the re-appliocation process.

If you drop out now, you may be able to obtain the full year's free fees. Go see your tutor/student advisor/students' union immediately. Yes, immediately. Stop reading this and go! You may be on the brink of the cut-off date for fees for the first year.

If you drop out now and are not eligible for complete free fees next year, you'll be eligible for 1/2 year's fees if you drop out before january. One thing not to do: don't just stop going to college. If you apply next year you'll have to go contact UCD and there may be complications regarding the paying or obtaining of free fees.

Oh, and I assume you're an EU citizen hence you'd be paying the EU rate for the half year you'd be paying next year. That'll vary per college, so contact whatever college you're going into to find out. Chances are it'll be around the €2500 - €5000 mark, cheaper if it's a non-technical subject.

One crazy idea which you mightn't have thought of... have you considered contacting DCU's admissions office to see if they'll allow you to transfer into that course now, or even considered transferring into another course in UCD? The answers to all these (and more!) are available in the second sentence in this post.

so , ye im talking to them tommorow

i think i have to pay full fees for first year and i loose my reg fee


bit harsh - at least 3000-6000 for a year and a month of college


free fees , ha ??

No no, you've got it wrong. If you drop out now or before January, you'll only have to pay half of a year's fees. That'll be half of whatever the year would cost, be it between €2500 and €6000. The 'free fees' kick in then for the second half of your new course's first year, and continue on as is.

There is a second registration in each college in January to ensure that you are still there. You won't be there to go through it, hence you would only have to pay (max) half of the fees, plus reg fee etc if you're not receiving a grant. But you might be in time to get out and retain your free fees. So do get on to people tomorrow, and don't leave it any longer.

ill try tho

You can probably say goodbye to the registration fee, but if I recall correctly the deadline for dropping out and having it not count as a year is October 31st, so you should be eligible for free fees next year if you get it all sorted ASAP.

Reg fee pays for examinations, student activities, registration etc. etc. etc. You'll never see the money again during the college year, so demand it back!

would they refund reg fees??Im kind of in the same position but had already said goodbye to that €903 quid!!

See, they probably won't since part of it (apparently) goes to pay for registering, which, um, you've already done. But you might as well try.

lilmizzme

ah well....thats what i get for registering in the first place....come on transfers!!
