Fees

Has anyone paid their first year fees yet? When is the deadline?

bscm · 31-08-2011 12:32PM

paying mine today

The office told me that as long as they receive the payment before registration, it's okay. They said try to get it done before Fresher's Week starts.

ePay says that fees (in general for all years) are due tomorrow, so my mom doesn't want to take any chances and is doing them today... even though the bank still hasn't processed my loan application

Wait, what? Don't the government pay our fees? Or do you mean the 2085? Terribly confused now >.<

I don't know whats wrong but I can't get on the epay.tcd.ie website. My Internet browser says the server isn't reachable!:mad:

The Government does pay our fees, but ePay is used for all years, including postgrad and fee-paying courses. We have to pay the 2085 ourselves via ePay/giro etc

All years except us have to pay by tomorrow but my mom's just freaking out and wants to err on the side of caution

Right, thanks for the info. I can get on the site now if I google it, but not with the direct link. My browser (Opera 11.5) also says that the site isn't safe. Regardless of that, I'll probably pay the money in the next few hours.

Phareon · 31-08-2011 12:50PM

My ma's gonna kill me when I tell her about paying this... :P

steve84 · 31-08-2011 01:02PM

There wasnt a whole lot of info about when to pay fees in the orientation packs tbh.

I'm hoping I'll only have to pay the €85 myself but dont know when to pay it.

Saw something about fee demand letters which I haven't got and don't know if I will get.

Looks like another phone call to the fees office

I didn't get such a letter yet either.

steve84 · 31-08-2011 01:15PM

Well just looked up my info on epay system and it's showing full amount for everything there still :eek: I'm definitely ringing the fees office at 2 o clock

Ash_M · 31-08-2011 01:21PM

I paid yesterday and haven't received any confirmation email yet.. Should I have gotten it already or is it not automated?

steve84 · 31-08-2011 01:23PM

I did see on there that confirmation can take 3-5 days. You mind me asking what you paid on there/are u waiting on grant etc?

Ash_M · 31-08-2011 01:24PM

Oh thanks, I guess I missed that bit :P I paid the full 2085, I'm eligible for absolutely nothing grants-wise it seems.

Phareon · 31-08-2011 01:29PM

I hadn't heard anything about this epay thing before today, and I doubt I'll be able to come up with this 2085 before tomorrow O.o I think I'll just wait for these fee demand forms they told us about, until next week :O

steve84 · 31-08-2011 01:31PM

No worries, glad ta help

I'm hoping I'll only have to pay the 85, but I still don't have confirmation from the grant so I'm counting on it coming through..Still getting over the shock of seeing approx €7500 on the screen when I looked up epay a few mins ago :eek: Gonna ring them (again

) and try find out what they want me to do..

Ash_M · 31-08-2011 01:33PM

7500?! Are you paying for more than one person/accommodation or something?

steve84 · 31-08-2011 01:36PM

No it's showing up the tuition fees aswell as the 2085!

That's why I'm gonna be ringing them :mad:

Ash_M · 31-08-2011 01:37PM

Ah I see, that's quite strange?

steve84 · 31-08-2011 01:40PM

Yep thats what I was thinking too! Ah well I'll see what they say on the phone :pac:

CircaNow · 31-08-2011 01:42PM

Does anyone know what the story is with handing in the form FRS2 for those who have previously attended some part of a third level course..?

I should only have to pay half fees after attending half a semester of first year before, but epay is telling me full fees are due. Will this change when they get the FRS2 form from me I wonder? :S

steve84 · 31-08-2011 02:42PM

Ok so just off the phone with fees office and was told 2 things:

1: The 1st September deadline is only for continuing students, NOT for incoming first years.

2: As I have just sent in FRS1 and GF1 forms yesterday, I dont have to pay anything until I receive an invoice from them. This will be issued to me when they receive and process my FRS1 and GF1 forms.

So going from this, I just sit and wait to receive an invoice in the post.

Thanks for the info. I wait then too and don't pay the €2000 today. I paid the €8 for the Student's Union though.

polka dot · 31-08-2011 03:07PM

Oh dear O.O Was I meant to wait? I just paid the 85 euro because I'm fairly certain I'm getting the grant. It said I had to pay the 2085 though =/

I'm sure they'll tell me soon enough if I owe them money...

KiwiMoll · 31-08-2011 03:08PM

Does the government pay your fees even if you haven't got the grant yet?

Phareon · 31-08-2011 03:13PM

I'm not gonna pay anything until they explicitly tell me to...

I think it says for nearly everyone on the site that you have to pay €2085, regardless of whether or not you have applied for the grant. I only paid €8 so far.

bscm · 31-08-2011 03:16PM

Just paid... it only told me I owed 2085 and I sent off the FRS1 form yesterday, but I did contact the office last week so maybe they processed my info then

steve84 · 31-08-2011 03:16PM

Thysol, I was thinking of paying the €85 (€77 sports centre and €8 students union) but I'll wait now til I get an invoice.

Polka Dot, I'm sure it won't matter that you've paid early

KiwiMoll, the government pay the tuition fees if you're eligible for the free fees scheme. The grant (if you get it) pays the €2000 student contribution (registration fee). If you don't get the grant, you have to pay the €2000 yourself. I'm not sure if TCD will want us to pay the €2000 if we haven't heard back about the grant yet.

Either way we have to pay the €85 I mentioned above ourselves, unless you're on HEAR scheme (thanks for that info Thysol).
