Repeating year free on medical grounds

Does anyone know anything about repeating the year on medical grounds.

Could I sit the exams in August and if I fail then apply to repeat the year free on medical grounds with all my documents?

You'll have to pay half the repeat fee, plus the €224 student levy. You also won't get a grant. I'm repeating this year on medical grounds

Thanks the info,

Did you have to apply to SUSI or was it just through the college?

So total fee was 912 + 224 = 1136 this correct..

I didn't realise you had to pay half the repeat fee, I thought it was just the student levy. Best of luck anyway.

According to the site you only have to pay the Levy. Maybe it depends on the circumstances.

This was through the college. I had to pay €800 + €224. The repeat fee is €1600, the student levy is €224.

this might seem like a very random question, but did you apply for a grant through susi ? i seen on their website they can issue grants in repeats years in exceptional circumstances. obviously you must have had some good reason to be allowed repeat a year on medical grounds, just wondering if you applied for the grant at all and was told no

Yup, I applied, was told no, appealed, was told that because I paid the college to repeat I wasn't entitled.

I appealed on medical grounds and got a small grant. I think it depends on your circumstances financially etc. and I left the year at a very early date so it wasn't gone past *some important date for de-registering* or something.

sorry i can't be more helpful... i sort of forget between all the forms. But do apply to SUSI for the grant and you never know what could happen.
