Are you only going into first year?
if you are then yeah you have to bring a letter from your VEC saying that you qualify for the grant! But you still have to pay some of the fee that day! For me last year i believe it was somewhere around 700 euro, but it gets paid back to you when you get your grant! I honestly dont know if they would let you pay that initial fee in smaller weekly/monthly payments! You'll have to ring up admissions for that!
If your going into a higher year than first year, and you got a grant last year, then all you have to do is show your grant acceptance letter and you don't have to pay anything!
Hope this helps

i'm in the same boat for AIT, applied for the grant which i should get due to my circumstances also. but i don't have the likes of 700 on the day.
can you shed some light on this ms happy? what is the outcome of showing up on reg day without proof of grant, or dosh?
The various IoT's work slightly differently,
Carlow operate a fee by installment, basicly it's 500 on the day and the balance by the end of october if you're not eligible for a grant. If you pay a by fee by installment and get a grant the ammount you pay will be refunded but that could be in November - at the earliest!
Fee by installments aren't done in all IoT's fro years Carlow was the only college that operated one at all!
Ring Athlone and see if they can do fee by installment..... if they don't you really only have 2 options:
1. Put pressure on your grant authority for a letter, or date when you'll recieve your award.
2. Pay the registration fee and get refunded - hopefully AIT do fee by installment!!
Sorry I can't give you any good news
Enjoy college 0 -

There's a few questions here, so here we go....
Students can no longer hold BTEA and a grant it's one or the other now i'm afraid.
If a student gets BTEA they still have to apply to their VEC/Council for the registration fee part of the grant - If i had to choose I would pick BTEA as it is a weekly payment into your account and you'll be able to get it for the whole time you are in college, unlike the grant where you'll only get it for the duration of the course.
The college is very particular about letters, they can only give a letter to a registered student ie a student who has their student card and has done all their paper work IYKWIM
Online registration was launched just over a week ago and is really only available to full time students progressing within their original course IE year 1 to year 2 of a level 6 or from year 1/2 to 3 of a level 7 etc!

But how can you be so sure??? College is giving out conflicting information to people. Is your above right that 500 will be accepted on day??0 -

Carlow IT say dont worry just come in on registration day.. You work for Carlow It and you say no approval letter no registration... That im afraid is confliting information. All of it... Now if you look at the someone post above they say they have a letter from college (I assume) and you also say in earlier post about installments, can ya do this??? This will even help me out.....
I just asked maybe thinking that you MIGHT have been mistaken.....I was in no way discrediting your advice....I appreciate this and sure if I get past registration Ill get ya a coffee for annoying you on this ha
Is there a debate team here maybe i should just go on that...
Ok so, for everyone else wanting to know. these are the ONLY scenarios for registration.....
Going into 1st year = Grant award letter/Registration fee in full/enquire about fee by installment on the day, the HEA have allowed the college to do this (count yourselves lucky here, Carlow are one of the only IoT's to do this, most colleges will not register students unless they have the full fee on the day!!!)
All 1st years are fee assessed at registration. This is just to work out if you need to pay fees (usually in the case of someone who has been to third level before)
Continuing students = 2nd, 3rd & 4th years if you had a grant last year you can do online registration and produce your grant letter by the 31st October. If you weren't on a grant last year you have to attend registration or pay the full fee online.
Repeating students = Can't do anything until after the results come out on the 14th September in terms of repeat applications, carrying subjects etc.
Advanced entry = into 2nd, 3rd or 4th year. You have to attend registration and be fee assessed. You probably won't be able to do online registration until next year.
It's all very straight forward when you know the system

This year is really a trial run, working out the kinks etc.
The majority of students that can use the facility have at this point, I think that figure is around 450 students.
It's great that it's finally come online now, god remember those lines for registration in the barrow centre 0 -
