    I'm sorry for your loss.

    Try contacting your brother's tutor (if you don't know who that was, get in touch with the senior tutor senior.tutor@tcd.ie) or the fees office http://www.tcd.ie/Treasurers_Office/gen_contacts.php#feescontact, I'm sure they'll be helpful.

    I'm very sorry to hear of your brother's death.

    As the above poster said, you can contact his tutor or the Senior Tutor. I also suggest you contact one of the Students' Union officers - either Welfare (Louisa Miller - 0851136515) or Education (Rachel Barry - 0857723676), as they'll be able to advise you on the College policies and help you out.
