Preamble

As the economic landscape continues to change it has become increasingly important

that those responsible for the administration of public funds develop processes

through which funding lines are appropriately managed for the benefit of all.

The Institute of Technology Carlow has over many years focused on enabling

students’ access higher education and, in so doing, have currently a variety of

practices for allowing students meet their fee obligations. The Institute of Technology

Carlow has drawn from the THEA guidelines for the Collection of Student Fees in the

preparation of this document.

Through the development of these policies and procedures the group worked with the

understanding that national economic factors have directly influenced the everyday

lives and affordability of all members of society. While we acknowledge the economic

hardships that many students are facing, the Institute of Technology Carlow is also

dealing with reduced exchequer funding and therefore students have a role to play,

not only in paying their fees, but also ensuring they participate in the registration

process in a timely basis to help ensure the Institute receives the correct amount of

funding from the exchequer with respect to recoupment of fees through relevant

government schemes and also the recurrent grant.

Facilitating all students in the payments process is central to the success of the

collection of fees. Making provisions to allow a minority of students to pay in a non-

standard method will help ensure that the Institute of Technology Carlow maximises

the amount of fees collected and in turn the number of students participating.

Section 1

Introduction

This is an administrative internal procedure document.

This document sets out the policies and procedures of the Institute of Technology

Carlow for the collection of student fees.

The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines and procedures in relation to

the collection of student fees. The scope of this document extends to all fees and

charges due to IT Carlow by students to include tuition fees for full and part-time

programmes at all levels, student contributions, exam payments, repeat fees, library

fines etc.

It is imperative that the Institute of Technology Carlow collects all fees owing, and

shall to do so in a timely manner. However, the Institute is aware of the financial

strain that is placed on students particularly in difficult economic conditions and

therefore shall ensure that all processes and procedures are, in so far as possible,

sympathetic and understanding of the student’s personal circumstances.


Section 2

Policy

2.1 Policy

The Institute of Technology Carlow shall endeavour to collect all student fees in line

with these procedures. Facilitating all students in the payments process is central to

the success of the collection of fees.

A student with outstanding fees and charges shall not be permitted to register in a

subsequent year or teaching period as appropriate until such time as the outstanding

fees are paid in full. Students with fees owing to the Institute of Technology Carlow

shall not be permitted to sit examinations, shall not be able to access their results,

shall not be issued with academic transcripts or any other official credentials and shall

not be permitted to graduate.

The above policy is implemented through a process of “deemed withdrawal”, reference

section 7 for further details.

2.2 Liability

In all cases, the Institute of Technology Carlow considers the student to be solely

responsible for any financial liability to the Institute. Students who have a recognised

sponsor shall be liable for any unpaid tuition fee costs if the sponsor defaults on

payment in any given teaching period.


Section 3

Fee Setting Authority

3.1 Legislation – Authority to Charge Fees

Regional Technical Colleges Act 1992 - Section 17

“The college may charge fees or admission charges and such other charges of

such amounts as may from time to time be determined by its governing body

subject to such conditions as may be specified by the Minister from time to time

for courses, lectures, examinations, exhibitions and other events held at or by

the college and for other activities including research, consultancy and

development work undertaken by the college.”

3.2 Setting of Fees

The Government, through the Department of Education and Skills and the Higher

Education Authority (HEA) determine the:

“student contribution” fee

fees for levels 6-8 full-time undergraduate programmes

apprentice programme fees.

Apart from the above, the Governing Body of the Institute of Technology Carlow has

prime responsibility for the setting and approval of all other academic related fees and

charges. The Governing Body delegates to the Senior Executive Team authority to

approve or vary academic fees within agreed parameters. The Institute of Technology

Carlow’s Senior Executive Team will publish the Fee Schedule for the coming

Academic Year by 1st July of each year- refer to Appendix V.

There are a number of academic related fees and charges applicable to students at

the Institute of Technology Carlow, these are set out in Appendix I along with those

who have the delegated authority to set and approve the fees.

3.3 Review of Fees

Fees are reviewed and approved annually.


3.3.1 Tuition Terms for Fee Paying Students

Where students commence their programme after start of term, for future years, the

Institute of Technology Carlow reserves the right to adjust annual tuition fees.

3.3.2 Correction of Fees

The Institute of Technology Carlow reserves the right to correct the fee charged to a

student in the event that an incorrect fee is notified as a result of error, incorrect

information being obtained at enrolment / registration or a change in student

circumstances which affects the fee due. A statement in such respect shall appear

on enrolment form.

3.3.3 Permanent Programme Transfers

Fee paying students undertaking a permanent programme transfer will be fee

assessed at the commencing rate of the new programme relevant to the year the

student transfers.


Section 4

Registration

While this document is not a registration policy or registration procedure document,

student registration status and the collection of fees are intrinsically linked, it is

therefore important to have a high level overview of the registration process.

A list of Banner status codes is provided in Appendix II.

4.1 Registration Process – High Level Overview

4.2 Authority and Responsibility of Student Registration Statuses

Authority and responsibility for student registration statuses resides within the office of

the Vice President for Academic Affairs & Registrar.

(Due to the link between registration status and fees, information on student

registration statuses is available to Finance and other the Institute of Technology

Carlow personnel).

Section 5

Collection of Fees

5.1 General

The Vice President for Academic Affairs & Registrar is ultimately responsible for

ensuring that student fees are collected.

The process for collection of student fees is facilitated by the following offices:

Finance

International Office

Lifelong Learning

Examinations

Admissions

Faculty/ Campus

Postgraduate Studies.

a) By engaging in the registration process the student understands that they become

liable for fees and charges incurred by them.

b) The student’s classification for fee purposes is determined upon registration. This

may be done on-line by Irish students. This is not applicable to first-time Non-EU

students paying via International office (see Section 11 of this Policy and

Procedure for Non-EU).

c) Non receipt of payment request/ invoice is not a valid reason for failure to make

payment by deadlines specified by the Institute of Technology Carlow.

d) It is imperative that the student understands that non-payment of fees will

necessitate withdrawal from the Institute of Technology Carlow and that they shall

be liable to pay any outstanding debt (including any awards unpaid by third parties).

5.2 Method of Receiving Payment for Fees Owing

IT Carlow can receive payment (in order of preference):

1. Online

2. Giro


3. Bank Transfer (in the case of international students only – see Section

11 of this Policy and Procedure, Non-EU Learners)

4. Credit Card (in the case of Lifelong Learning students only)

Cheque and Cash payments are only accepted in exceptional circumstances

5.2.1 Receiving Payment by Installment – General Scheme

In line with HEA policy, the facility to pay by instalment shall be available to all students

as a general scheme in a minimum of two instalments. Defined instalment plans are

in place for fulltime postgraduate taught and Lifelong Learning undergraduate and

postgraduate students. See Appendix III.

5.2.2 Payment by Installment for Specific Programmes or Student Cohorts

The Institute of Technology Carlow may also offer a facility to pay in instalments

outside this general scheme where financial hardship may be demonstrated or for

specific programmes (including Lifelong Learning) or student cohorts (including

international students). Determination of eligibility of fulltime undergraduate and

postgraduate (taught and research) students for payment by instalment resides with

Academic Administration in conjunction with other Institute personnel as appropriate.

Academic Administration has documented procedures in place to manage the

process.

As per 5.2.1, where a student has been deemed eligible to pay by instalment and if

they miss their instalment payment date, penalties may apply, reference Appendix IV

for Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees and Charges.

5.3 Fee Collection Deadlines

All student fees are required to be collected by a specified due date. Failure by a

student to pay outstanding fees will result in the student having access to facilities at

the Institute of Technology Carlow suspended (IT, Library and Blackboard), being

denied entry to examinations and will result in the student being “deemed withdrawn”.

Final year students shall not be recorded as a graduate and no complete results or

complete academic record shall be issued, unless full payment of all outstanding fees

is made.


5.3.1 International Students

Please see Section 11 of this Policy and Procedure (Non-EU Students).

5.3.2 Government Payment “Undergraduate Free Fees” Scheme and other

Government Schemes

The Irish Government, through the Higher Education Authority determine the payment

arrangements available through the “undergraduate free fees” scheme and other

Government schemes, such as the “Labour Market Activation”, ICT Skills and

Springboard funds.

5.3.3 Student Grant Schemes

A single unified grant scheme for programmes was introduced under the Student

Support Act 2011. This is handled by Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI).

However, for academic year, 2019/2020, students continuing to year 4 still apply to

their local authorities or VECs for a grant and these bodies will continue to deal with

renewal of existing grants on a wind-down basis.

Section 6

Consequences of

Late Collection/Non Collection of Fees

All student fees and charges are required to be collected by a specified due date.

Failure of the student to pay fees and charges in full by the specified due date, without

prior notification to cite extenuating circumstances, may result in the immediate

withdrawal of services for that student.

Where a student continues to have outstanding fees and charges (i.e. student

contribution, tuition fees, fines, etc.) following the collection date specified by the

Institute of Technology Carlow, the student may be deemed to be “withdrawn”. As an

interim measure, the Institute shall continue to suspend access to facilities including

library, IT and online learning resources.

The deemed withdrawal will cause the following restrictions to apply;

a) Loss of access to library borrowing and other library services

b) Loss of access to the Institute of Technology Carlow’s computer systems,

including internet and email

c) Denied entry to examination centres

d) Loss of access to enrolment records, examination results and academic

transcripts

e) The inability to graduate until outstanding fees are paid

f) Cease to be a student (which may also affect a student’s visa where applicable)

Students that are deemed to be ‘withdrawn’, shall be informed of their status and that

if they make no further payment or do not contact the Institute of Technology Carlow

concerning their outstanding fees and charges, the withdrawn status will remain on

their student record.


Section 7

Deemed Withdrawal

7.1 Authority for Deemed Withdrawal

Authority for deemed withdrawal is provided in the Institute of Technology Carlow’s

Student Handbook:

”Any student who is liable to pay a fee but does not pay by the due date is by

force of these regulations deemed withdrawn, unless the deemed withdrawn

status is effected solely because of an Institute error.

Deemed withdrawn students do not have access to their full academic history.

While a fee remains unpaid the student liable to pay the fee may not obtain a

transcript of or other document relating to their academic record or have a

degree conferred upon them or receive an award.

A fee which is unpaid after the due date is a debt due and owing to the Institute

by the student who is liable to pay the fee, and the Institute may initiate recovery

action if the fee is unpaid, except where the outstanding fee results from an

Institute error”.

7.2 Reinstatement

Where a deemed withdrawn student seeks reinstatement to continue their

study/graduate at the Institute of Technology Carlow, or obtain academic transcripts,

they must pay all outstanding debt.

Section 11

Non-EU Learners

11.1 Introduction

Non EU learners are those whose nationality is from outside the EU, EEA or

Switzerland. For the purposes of this document, such students should be referred to

as Non-EU students.

11.2 Basis of Fee Rates

Different fee rates are charged to students based on two determining factors; (1)

nationality and (2) residency.

11.3 Fee Setting

Fee rates for each programme are set annually by the Governing Body of the

Institute, and are notified through a circular from the Vice President for Academic

Affairs & Registrar.

11.4 Fee Assessments

To determine the correct fee rate for a student a fee assessment may be undertaken

by officers of the Institute. Applicants will be requested to present certain

documentation, as detailed in this policy to verify that the correct fee rate is applied.

On completion of a fee assessment, each student will be issued a certificate

indicating the fee rate and the basis of this decision. It is the responsibility of each

applicant to present the required documentation in a timely manner as required by

the Institute.

Officers of the Institute can only make a decision based on the documentation

provided and thus incomplete documentation may result in an applicant being levied

a higher rate of fees.

Applicants may have their fee status re-assessed.


11.5 Basis of Fee Assessments

To undergo a fee assessment applicants will be required to provide a copy of their

passport, Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) card and/or letters from the

Department of Justice to confirm that they are legally resident in Ireland.

Residency is determined by virtue of payment of tax and/or receipt of social welfare

payments. Thus, applicants may be required to provide proof of payment of tax or

receipt of social welfare benefit to confirm periods of residency within the EU. The

term P21 is interpreted to mean a certificate from the Irish Revenue Commissions

confirming payment of taxes, or an EU equivalent.

Applicants under the age of twenty three years (23) on the 1st of September in

the year of entry to the Institute may have their visa and residency status

assessed based on their parent's, spouse's or civil partner's status.

General Rules: A full description of all categories of immigration and residency

status for the purpose of a fee assessment is contained in Appendix III. Applicants

should make themselves fully aware of the immigration rules as apply at the time of

application as these are subject to change by the Immigration authorities. Therefore

applicants should not depend solely on the information contained in this document.

11.6 Nationality

Applicants who are in possession of a passport of an EU member state do

not require a visa to remain in Ireland. Passport holders of Accession States of

the EU, as notified in the EU Official Journal and EEA member states are treated

in the same manner as EU passport holders for fee assessment purposes.

Passport holders from all other countries are required to register with the GNIB if

they remain in Ireland for more than ninety (90) days and will be issued a GNIB card.

The GNIB card will bear a "stamp", usually a number, which indicates the basis of

the holder's right to remain in Ireland. This stamp is part of the basis on which the

holder will be assessed for fee purposes.

11.7 Naturalised lrish/ EEA Citizens

Applicants who become naturalised lrish/ EEA citizens before the 1st of

September in their first year of entry to the Institute are entitled to Free Tuition

Fees for the remainder of their study. Applicants who become naturalised lrish/


EEA citizens after the 1st of September will be eligible for Full Free Tuition Fees in

the following academic years for the remainder of their studies.

11.8 Residency

All applicants, regardless of nationality are required to prove they have been resident

in Ireland or an EU member state for three (3) of the five (5) years prior to entry to

their programme of study.

EU/EEA/Swiss nationals who have not been resident in the EU/EEA/Switzerland for

three (3) of the five (5) years preceding entry to a programme of study, but have

completed five (5) full academic years of study at primary or post-primary

level(s) within the EU/EEA/Switzerland will be charged the appropriate EU rate

of fees.

Acceptable forms of proof of residency are as follows:

A P21 Tax Certificate from the Irish Revenue Commissioners, or equivalent from

an EU member state. Any such document not in English must be accompanied by

a certified English translation.

A Self-Assessment Certificate from the Irish Revenue Commissioners, or equivalent

from an EU member state, for self-employed individuals. Any such document not in

English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.

A letter from the Department of Social Protection confirming receipt of social welfare

payments for specific periods, or equivalent from an EU member state. Any such

document not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation

A letter from a post primary school principal certifying that the applicant has

undertaken all their post primary education in the school. Any such document not in

English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.

Registered students paying the Non-EU fee, whose visa status changes after the

commencement date of their programme, are permitted to have their fee status

reviewed (provided they satisfy the residency requirement). Applications for re-

assessment after this date will only be considered for the following academic year(s).


11.9 Instalments

In line with other policies of the Institute, all students may pay their fees in two

instalments. The availability of this facility to Non-EU students may change, without

notice, due to changes in regulations of the Irish visa authorities.

For Non-EU applicants, the first instalment must be a minimum of €6,000 before

registration. The balance of the total fee is due by 31st January of Semester.

Where a student pays the first instalment and subsequently leaves a programme no

refund will be issued.

All students are reminded that failure to pay the second instalment will result in loss

of access to facilities of the Institute, such as library, IT etc. late payment may incur

additional penalties.

11.10 Refunds

Where the applicant has been refused a visa to study in Ireland and, in cases where

it has been decided to appeal the visa refusal, where an appeal against the decision

has failed. A full refund of tuition fees should be given on submission of all original

documents and evidence of the refusal of visa to the International Office.

In the event that an offer of a place is withdrawn or the Institute is unable to provide

the programme, all tuition fees paid should be fully refunded.

A student, who fails to meet programme entry/progression rules and

accordingly, is not permitted to pursue the programme, should be eligible for a

refund of fees if paid in advance of notification of exclusion.

A notice of withdrawal due to exceptional circumstances may be accepted as

grounds for either a full or partial refund of fees, subject to the provision of

acceptable documentary evidence in support of the application for a refund.

Examples of Exceptional Circumstances


Inability of an applicant to obtain a student visa.

Refusal of entry by Irish immigration authorities at the point of entry

into Ireland, despite the student having a valid visa.

Recent certified serious illness or disability of the applicant or a close family

member (parent, sibling, spouse or child; this would not normally include a

grandparent).

Death of the student or a close family member (parent, sibling, spouse or

child; this would not normally include a grandparent).

Collapse of promised financial support or sponsorship of the student notified

before commencement of the programme.

Refunds are only paid when evidence is provided by the student that they

have returned to their home country and the student has provided evidence of

In such circumstances, students must make a written case to the International Affairs

Manager outlining the case.

11.11 Fee Assessment Appeals

The appeals process provides for appeal by an applicant/student against decisions

in respect of a determination of Fee Status.

The grounds on which an appeal can be made are as follows;

The policy of the Institute was not applied correctly

The fee assessment came to an incorrect determination of fee status, based

on the published policies of the Institute and the information submitted by the

applicant/student.

Applicants/students are advised that should their visa or residency status change a

new fee assessment may be undertaken without recourse to this formal appeals

procedure.

Appeals Process

A written appeal must be sent to the International Affairs Manager, on or

before the 31st of October in the year of commencement of the

programme, or for continuing learners the new academic year.

The written appeal must include the fee assessment certificate issued by the

Institute and copies of all documentation previously submitted.


The International Affairs Manager shall notify in writing the appellant and the

Vice President for Academic Affairs & Registrar the decision as soon as

possible.

The decisions of the Appeal shall be final and binding on the Institute and the

appellant.

In support of government policy, students in receipt of a scholarship/fellowship

funded 100% by Irish Aid will be levied the EU rate of fees for their

programme of study.

11.12 Fee Negotiation

It is recognised that there may be negotiation in cases, such as dealing with

overseas governments, university partners and scholarship bodies. The Vice

President for Development and Research has discretion to agree fee rates in such

cases. Reduced fee rates must be notified in writing to the Vice President for

Academic Affairs & Registrar

11.13 Loyalty Concession

Institute of Technology Carlow students who have completed as least three years of

their undergraduate programme in the Institute, and have paid the non EU

rate of fees for that duration, are entitled to the same fee rate as applied to Irish and

other EU students if they progress to a taught postgraduate programme within

20% of the published fee rates for the duration of their study.
