I think if you contact the college and explain your situation they'll understand because a lot of people registering for SUSI grants will be in the same boat and that's the whole point of the SUSI grant!

I know loads of people who got it before we started college. I just had to pay 1/4 of my fees as a deposit last year, and once my grant was approved, i got a refund.

I was provisionally awarded the grant in mid July but have had no word back since. If I don't hear anything in the next few days I'll definitely talk to the Fees office in the college.
Thanks a million

we are provisionally awarded the last while too and now its provisially awarded, cao details received and queued for final assessment

I applied for a SUSI grant but didn't get accepted. However that doesn't mean the 1665 euro first instalment at the same time isn't a big ask and so I did a lot of research on the UCC website and found a payment plan which would allow for smaller but more regular payments. I sent an email to the Fees Office and they confirmed it is acceptable for me to do so. I scanned the completed form and emailed it back. I am waiting for confirmation now. Should I continue to do so or commence payment?

Relax biosci, there's loads of students in your position, myself included. If you're under the income thresholds you'll get the grant.

Just take you're letter from Susi with you on registration day & the college will wait for Susi to pay them .

Lads I've got no confirmation yet if I've been let have a grant from SUSI. Last thing I got was them asking for some personal information but if I had already opted in to apply to SUSI in the CAO form (which I did) I didn't need to send them anything. Haven't got word since. I meet the criteria, and I did start sending them off info straight away once the thing opened. Should I be worried atm that I haven't got any confirmation?

Kayleigh..

I didn't hear anything from SUSI until like October last year, they wanted me to send documents and then I got my first grant payment in December. Calm down and have a bit of patience :P :pac:

I was 21 when I started in DCU and was surprised at the amount of people older than me on the course! There'll be a wide range of ages, don't be worrying. Besides no one even asks each other what age you are in college. I was great friends with a girl for nearly 2 years before I found out she was older than me! Be grand!

No, if you're under the threshold you'll get the grant. Nothing at all to be worried about, unless you haven't been upfront about all your income or something.

How does the script viewing work? I've dropped off the form at school the day of the results, and still haven't heard back. I'd imagine they'll mail me the card with the date ticked, do they? Anyone got 'em?

At 595 i'm a bit scared i'll be out of my depth, in a class full of geniuses.

Yeah I just scraped it with exactly 595.. It'll be odd going from being one of the smartest in your class to one of the least, in terms of academic achievement anyways haha:') but we'll be in lectures with all the general science people for the first 2 years so be grandd!

Can anyone help me with the college fees situation? For UCC you need to complete the first part of registration online which involves paying the fees of over €1000. I'm waiting to be accepted for the grant though, so should i skip this step of the registration and just explain to the peer leaders or whoever on the day of registration part 2? Thanks

It's normally a teacher in the school who organises it. Teachers aren't back until next week so I doubt you will hear about it for a few days yet.

Realistically it's cutting it fine this year with the viewing on Friday/Saturday of next week but a lot of schools not open again until Thursday. Give them a ring on Thursday if you haven't heard back.

All you have to pay is the capitation fee. I did my orientation there last year and hadn't been accepted for my grant yet and no one even asked.

Honestly, when the top score possible is 625, it means a maximum of 30 points covers the whole class. Everyone in the course probably got at least 5/6As. At that level there isn't going to be much difference between you all.
