    Hello,

    I accepted an offer for a tsm of economics and maths today.

    As you may appreciate, I'm very excited to start and get some more info. I'm just wondering if by any chance anyone would know when the info packs will Ve sent out?

    Very soon. You needn't worry too much. Fresher's starts on the 19th, you'll register on the 20th, and lectures start on the 26th.

    Orientation information was being packed yesterday so you should get it this week.

    That's pretty terrible timing.. Seeing as that's a pretty common combination by the sounds of it?

    Same here, they sent me pack 5 for general science instead of pack 7.
    *wanders off to downlaod forms while muttering*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭steve84


    Yep it (Pack 5) finally came in the post today. From what I can see I just send back the FRS1 and GF1 forms for now. That sound right? lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 131 ✭✭irishgirl10


    So confused by these orientation packs! whats the difference between them? And when do we send them back?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭AgathaK


    I think all different faculties have different packs, am I right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭steve84

    If you go here http://www.tcd.ie/orientation/pre-arrival/packs/ it has a list of the different packs. There's a different one depending on what course you're doing so I'm guessing the difference is that they have information on the meetings and registration related to your course, rather than on all the different courses.

    As to when to send forms etc back, I'm thinking that its just the fees ones that have to be sent back now :confused: Hoping that someone else says the same here lol..

    Thanks for the info! Im still waiting to see if Im going to get a grant, so this is all quite confusing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52 ✭✭OrlaB12693


    Im quite confused by the fees bit :/ when do they have to be paid by?... how do we pay them?... do you need to do something with the page about the fees in the orientation pack? :o any info would be appreciated! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 169 ✭✭Phareon


    Thanks for the info! Im still waiting to see if Im going to get a grant, so this is all quite confusing!

    Me too, it says to send them both together (FRS1 and GF1), but I still don't know if the grant is finalised yet, so I can't fully fill it in :/ Is anyone else in this situation?

    Unless you're non-EU or don't qualify for free fees in some other way, the government pays your tuition fees..

    Yeah I'm still waiting to hear back about the grant too and will be for another 2 or 3 weeks by what I was told when I rang about it today :mad:

    It does say on that GF1 form that "Students who accept a place as grant/award holders and are subsequently deemed ineligible for a higher education grant/educational award may be subject to a replacement fee..." so I think from that, that I can send in that form in the hope that I get awarded the grant but will have to pay an extra fee if I end up not getting it. What do the rest of you think? lol
