Paying accomodation and registration fee

Wendero

Hi

When are you supposed to pay for accomodation? Before you move in? I haven't received any information about this. Btw, when do you move in? Same day as school starts (the 14th)?

And what about the registration fee, do you pay it when you register? I'm going to get a study loan, but I may not have the money at the time (won't get them before lectures begin, and likely not before October).

Sorry if this has been asked before, I looked around in the forum but couldn't find it.

Reg fee is payable before registration - you bring proof of payment with you. If you're not going to have it in time, give them (fees and grants) a call - they should be able to work something out.

Okay, good to know.

But when do you pay it? Will you get like a bill or something? What about accomodation, is it the same there?

I will, at the time when I register, be able to prove that I will receive a study loan, thought I won't have the money at the time. maybe that will be enough. Otherwise, I'll have to ask my parents for help (I'll be able to pay it anyway, but then I or my parents would have to sell shares or take a normal bank loan - it's better if we don't have to do that).

163 posts of non stop questions. Chill out dude. Any questions should and can be answered by the university, call them.

Call the department

Sorry if I'm asking too much:( I just find it hard to talk with the university sometimes, they give very general answers and always seem stressed. Now in this case, it shouldn't be so hard for them to answer. I just remembered the woman who answered said something about paying when you register - which is a bit strange, since I can imagine most people wouldn't like to bring 1500 euros in cash when they register in september. So logically, you should have to pay it before, and they should send you some bill or something - question is only when. This matters, because if you have to pay within let's say two weeks, I believe I should go to the bank today. If the reg fee is to be paid in advance (before registration) but not the rent, then I may be able to make it anyway.

Strange that I haven't been able to find anything about this on the website. Or maybe I'm just not good at searching.

The bill for fees will arrive after the CAO rounds are complete. I think its usually late August

Isn't registration online these days? That's when you pay I'd imagine

Jaysus its all modern now...

What about the registration lines? One of the great institutions of the university? The conversations, meetings, sessions and degree-long friendships? All gone??

Beau

Seriously dude, I had a quick look on the Fees and Grants office website and all the info is there. For any other specific questions I'd highly recommend emailing them in detail as to what exactly it is you want to know.

From my experience everything you need to know gets posted out to you before the academic year.

Yeh, I remember my first registration line, it was great way of meeting people.

First years and Postgrads have to register in the college they can't do it online so the lines in the office are still there! And the ugly ugly pictures they take for your Id (or maybe that's just me!!!!!)

Was in the reg building today getting a new student card. According to the withered blonde behind the counter it has infact 'all gone modern'. All undergrads including first years have to register online.... I remember when I registered, I left till late in the day. When I walked in there was less than a dozen people waiting and a majority of them went to my school, the institute. I was nice to see the six of us all in a line and not in UCD

Thwip!

Can't you pay through bank with bank giro? Sorry if that's a stupid answer I just got that impression when i scanned the form thing.. if that is the form you're referring to.. I'll shut up now.

Looking forward to the registration line the afternoon after my debs (There's no smiley that looks like it's dying) Excuse me if I'm not that friendly
