    Yeah, UCD automatically has all matures down for undergrad fees. Just get in touch with the fees office in UCD and tell'em you're eligible for free fees, and it'll be corrected. I believe it's a fairly straightforward process, but they might ask for proof. I'm in the same boat myself at the moment.

    I'm a second chance student and the same happened me. Logged in and they were looking for money. I just got in touch with the student desk and they told me my previous college were claiming I completed the course. I told them I hadn't so what I needed to do was get a note from the old place to say I'd not completed, send it to the fees office and UCD sorted out the rest.
