Deferring?

Is deferring an option in UCD if you fail semester 1? Basically, I've done nothing this semester and I'm really regretting it. I've definitely failed two of my exams so far.

Is deferring an option in UCD if you fail semester 1?

Basically, I've done nothing this semester and I'm really regretting it. I've definitely failed two of my exams so far. I know I can still repeat them next semester but since I've finally figured out what I want to do, the price of individual repeats and the fact that repeating them just means I pass them as opposed to them benefiting my final degree, I'm considering deferring. Just wanted to ask a few things.

If I defer now, can I pay a half year's fee for this year and still use the government scheme to pick it up again next year?

Am I better off going through semester x? I'm doing Commerce - I know it's gone for arts but I have a friend in semester X right now so I know they're still doing it in Quinn anyways.

And is there any viable option that I'm not considering?

Thanks
