They must have ran out of pack 7s and thought they'd get away with sending us pack 5. Sure who are we to know we got the wrong one?
Sent them a strongly worded e-mail... I could download it but I enjoy being awkward :pac: 0 -

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?
Ugh, we've to send them both together? I've already sealed the envelope with FRS1 and nothing else... :P
Regarding the grant - I went to my county council today and the lady there gave me a letter saying that I applied for a grant, and she told me to give it into the college if they're going to be asking for reg money. So I guess if you go and ask for such letter... But I suppose they won't be looking for money until we actually register as students? Aaaagh this is so confusing it's actually making me mad. 0 -

Yea, as ickle firsties, they must have been sure that we wouldn't notice the lack of vetting forms or the fact that there was no timetable for our course, despite there being a timetable for TR071 and TR073... but no TR072
Being awkward would be fun, but I have really bad luck with forms in the post, so i downloaded to be safe

Yeah, that's what I got from the little paragraph about it in the booklet The whole thing is rather confusing though, isn't it? 0 -

It's not confusing... It's super confusing.
On reading the info about free fees payable by the minister for edu & skills I got a question on my mind... If I am not from Ireland, but I'm an EU student does that mean I qualify for the free fees?0 -

AFAIK it's nothing to do with being Irish or not, it's whether or not your EU or Swiss, or whatever else it says at the top of the FRS1.. You should be okay for fees though 0 -

Yea the county council grant office said today they will post me out that letter to say I've applied for it. I think I have to send that letter, the FRS1 form and GF1 form back to TCD asap. Will ring there in the morning to check for sure tho

I may be wrong but I think I have to fill in the details of where I have applied to for the grant on the GF1 form, get a letter from there to show that I have applied for the grant from them and then fill in the FRS1 form and send those 3 things in?
See my earlier post where I quoted the end of the GF1 form. That's where I'm guessing from. I'm ringing TCD in the morning before I send anything anyway..0 -

Ok so just off the phone with the fees office and was told to send in the FRS1 form now and send in the GF1 form now also.
When I said I'm still waiting to hear if I'm getting the grant or not she said still send in the GF1 now but when I find out the council's decision on the grant to let them know asap. If I get the grant it'll be fine and if I get turned down on the grant I'll have to pay the reg fee myself.
Hope that's of some help. 0 -

Yep we have to start filling the forms at some stage i suppose :rolleyes: lol
Orla afaik the reg fee is the €2000 part of the €2085. If u get the grant it pays the €2000 and u have to pay the €85 yourself anyway.
The government pays the tuition fees as long as you're eligible for the free fees scheme (the conditions on the FRS1 form). Haven't a clue what the tuition fees are if you're not eligible for the free fees scheme.
Tis all very confusing really though 0 -
Oh my days!.. it is horrendously confusing!!
but just to clarify... if im eligible to get my fees paid by the government, do i tick, i am or i am not on the bottom of the FRS1 form?.... sorry for bein thick... im just severely confused!0 -

How do we actually pay the €2085?? Somewhere in the pack, it says that we should have got a bank giro ... I didn't afaik.
anyone else in the same boat or was i just left out??
I didn't get one but I'm using ePay. I've been told ePay should be up and running within the next week.
Also we were told we should be getting a fee demand soon so maybe the giro will come with that?0 -

Oh thanks. I thought the fee demand was pert of the pack too.. I'll wait for that so! This whoile business is getting a bit confusingI didn't get one but I'm using ePay. I've been told ePay should be up and running within the next week.

btw i think the online payment thing is open already. I came across it while looking up all this stuff. There's an address to go to in the orientation guide on the fee payments page.0 -

hang on, just tried again there and it's working for me... now to go tell the parentals about it... and ring the bank about the loan they were supposed to call me back about last week 0
Because for now I just give up, it's too confusing.
