    Hi folks,
    Just a quick question and please a bit of relief for a very worried student.
    I just dropped out of NUIG first year arts basically I didn't sit my summer repeats as I decided to take a gap year.i hope to go to GMIT next year (Sep 2017) and I was wondering what fees do I have to pay?i got a grant last year for NUIG which covered my fees which I know I will not get next year but just wondering when I go to gmit will I just have to pay my student contribution charge which is like 3000 plus the levy?
    Thanks so much

    3000 + Student levy + tuition fees which is another couple grand.

    What do you mean? The government pays tuition fees for each college year once, so if you're doing your second first year next year you'll have to pay GMIT, but not for second year if you go on, as the government will cover it (as it will be your first second year).

    Are you getting the registration fee and tuition fee mixed up?

    Seriously I'm just so confused I was talking to someone who said that I would have to pay my GMIT fees plus my first year fees from last year in NUIG when I register next year because I didn't drop out before the drop out date !my NUIG fees where like 5000 but I got a grant so I'm confused ! I thought i would have to pay like 10000 next year!its very confusing

    You're probably going to have to spend around 7000. I'd speak to GMIT again if I were you to make sure how much you need to.

    Best contact the college and ask them, to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
