    Example: I do one full year of a lvl 7/8 course and drop out at the end of the year (or after the first semester afaik).

    When I go back to do another course or repeat the year i dropped out from I must do the following:

    Pay the registration fee (€2000 for most places) and the tuition fees (€954 for my level 7 degree, €4,000 for a previous level 8 i did

    In general, you will not get a grant for repeating a year or attending a course at a level that does not represent progression from what you have done before. These conditions are specified in paragraphs 14 to 17 of the Student Grant Scheme 2011 (pdf).

    you can repeat externally. which means you DONT pay the fee's to attend classes, so you cant attend.
    you sit at home, study, and then you pay to sit the exams with the other's.

    if you do pass, and you continue onto the next year, then your grant and free fee's will be re-instated.
