    I did a course back in 2008 i dropped out mid october( i just stopped showin up for classes), but was not aware i had to un-register from the course . Im now starting a new course this september 2011 and i understand that i do not have to pay tuition fees if i dropped out of my previous course before october 31st.
    As i did no officially unregister for the course in 2008 does that mean i have to pay tuition fees for the course i plan to do in september?
    Could i possibly ask my previous college for an attendance record? would that be enough for my new college so i dont have to pay fees?

    I tried calling the college but no one is answering :(

    You need to find out if your previous college claimed free fees for you - it's likely they did if you just left and didn't deregister. If they did you'll have to pay fees for the first year of your new course.

    Try emailing the fees office for a reply - it's usually easier than getting through on the phone.

    You will probably have to pay full tuition fees for the first year of this course. They waive this if you return after 5 years and that is called "second chance student"

    You can check with the DES student support unit on 057 9325317. Tell them what level you have and how long ago it was and they should be able to give you a straight answer on the fees.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
