Is anyone else having trouble filling in the online application?
I've got to Section C and it's not giving me an option for "institution name" when I click on the arrow.

I emailed them and got a reply saying they are currently working to resolve the issue and it should be fixed later. I've lost all the info that I put in so far :mad:

On the grantsonline page, do you click grants on the top left hand corner? it doesnt specify if its for grant renewals or not?

The renewal process seems stupidly easy - four tick boxes basically stating you are continuing the same course of study and your done.

Call me cynical but it seems too easy by previous SUSI dealings......

Should my grant not say renewal instead of reassessment when i log in to susi account? I got it last year, is this normal to say reassessment or have i done something wrong

Just a word of warning in case anyone else gets the same bug, i couldnt submit my application with any additional notes written at the end.

The website kept freaking out an giving errors, i tried it half a dozen times, as soon as i deleted the text in the additional notes, it allowed me to submit with no issue.

Yeh its a bit tempermental at the moment, had a few errors pop up myself.

Do you have to fill out details for parent/guardian all over again if renewing it asked me the questions did anything change, but also asking me to fill out my parents details all over again

I'm applying to susi for the first time and I'm just wondering right see if you didn't get a p60 in January or whenever, does that mean you wern't registered for tax so it wont come up when you apply for the grant? I had a part time job for three months and I only got like 2-3 hours a week and I never got a payslip or anything.... Anyone help?

Register for PAYE online, on the revenue website and request a P21.

But it sounds like you were probably working off the books, not getting a payslip and not getting a p60 are two big warning signs .

I Know this is probably a really stupid question but I'm just so scared that I 'm gonna make a mistake like last year! I've completed my grant form and at the bottom it says valadate application, does that mean you're submitting it or what cuz I'm only 84% done? Confused!

Hi I am just after completing year 3 of my course, I can now leave with my Ord degree but intend on doing the 1 year add on for my Hon degree.
Will I need to reapply to susi?
The course name is exactly the same

Yes you need to apply to susi for the add-on year, i am in the same boat as you and have re-applied.

Was anyone asked to enter details of there home address again for the renewal of a susi grant? I wasn't asked to do this and susi are now saying I did it wrong and may have to fill out a whole new application. All I was asked was a few boxes to tick and then enter in details of income for last year etc! Bit confusing now the whole thing, anyone have similar problem or what they had to fill in for their renewal

Have you been receiving a grant from susi?

He wouldnt be, as susi is only in place the last 2 years, the year before it was still council VECs taking care of it.

When I click grant application, it is bringing me straight to reassessment and I have to complete the whole application again ( which i done in 2012 when going into first year )
I have been getting a grant for the last two years and everyone else I have spoke to has been able to click straight onto renewal, answer 4 qs and be finished?

bri007

Yeah i was the same, I had to fill the whole thing out again, they said its a random audit they carry out on every few applications when renewing I sent mine in a few weeks ago, and still hasnt updated or even acknowledge they received it. Frustrating to say the least, I thought it would be straight forward renewal but its not, just a load of hassle

Why is the renewal so long this year?Im filling out things I've already done when I first applied parent details etc

They randomly select some people to fill out the application again, for auditing purposes.

For most people you just need to tick 4 boxes and you're done.

Also, Is it normal for it to be titled reassessment instead of renewal?

Yes, because you're being reassessed, instead of being auto-renewed like the majority of applicants. I'm sure they'd prefer to reassess everyone every year, but it's a lot cheaper to just pick a few instead.

I'm refilling in my application. However, I am changing courses. Everything is going ok however I am applying for 2 courses, yet I can't seem to fill that in on my renewal form...
What should I do? Is it possible to apply for 2 courses? What I mean is that I don't know which one I'm going in to yet.

Do I put money I got from the grant in 2013 in my reassessment form? If so where?
