Dropped out - registry fees question

orestes

I am due to start the second year of a 2 year H Dip course in September but for personal reasons have decided that I won't be finishing the course. Thing is, I had to defer my end of year exams for medical reasons and am due to start them tomorrow (not doing them, don't ask, please), and the registry fee for next year has already been paid via bank giro (my folks kinda took it for granted I would get through and paid them as soon as we got the giro in the mail, kinda cool they were that confident I would, not so cool when I tell them I'm not going back). Since it's a post-grad course the fees in question are in excess of €5k, not the kind of cash I want to just let go understandably.

So, how do I go about getting the registry fee back off the college? I have the reciept from the giro and all that but have no idea how to go about getting it refunded since I'm not even finishing this year let alone registering for next year.

Any advice on who to contact or what to do to is greatly appreciated, cheers

Not sure if this http://www.tcd.ie/Treasurers_Office/fees/fees_refunds.php will help, perhaps you've already checked it. Not sure if it applies to 2009/2010.

I did the dropped out of a course shortly after leaving school, best of luck with your situation. Hopefully someone who is more informed than me will have some answers.

Yeah getting in contact with the Treasurer's Office would be the best bet. Keep on top of them if you can though, you know what places are like with getting money back.

Hope everyone works out.

18 The Treasurer is authorised to make refunds to all students entering College as follows:

(a) where students who have paid the full annual fee or first instalment thereof notify the College before 1 October that they do not intend to take up the place offered, all fees paid will be refunded except for €212. Application for such refunds must be made to the Treasurer

Looks like I might be in luck so, thanks a million guys

Now for the hard part, trying to get money out of them and dealing with the delight that is Trinity buerocracy
