Important Information for Students – Midwest Campuses

TUS can only confirm your student status once you have completed your online registration and your status on the student records system is Temporary Registered or Fully Registered.

To avoid delays, it is essential that you complete your online registration for your TUS programme as soon as it opens.

Please note: If you are a student with repeat examinations or you are returning from placement and are due to go before the Autumn Examination Board, there may be delays in the processing of your SUSI grant and maintenance payments. This is because TUS cannot confirm your registration with SUSI until your status on the student records system is Temporary Registered.

If you believe you are eligible for a refund, please ensure that your bank details are up to date on your Student Portal. Instructions on how to add or update your bank details are available here.

Third-Party Requests and Data Protection

In accordance with data protection regulations, the Grants and Fees Office cannot disclose information relating to a student’s fee account, including outstanding fee balances, to a parent, guardian or other third party without the student’s prior written authorisation. Students may provide authorisation by completing the Third-Party Agreement Form, which is available to complete online here.

Payment Methods

The Grants and Fees Office does not accept payment by cash or cheque. Any cheques received will be returned to the sender.

Responsibility for Fee Payments

Failure to receive a fee payment notification or fee schedule does not constitute a valid reason for the non-payment of fees. It is each student’s responsibility to be aware of the applicable fee amounts and payment deadlines.

Registration and Payment of Fees

Payment of fees does not constitute registration with the University. Students must complete online registration by the relevant deadline(s) to enable TUS to claim Free Fees funding from the Higher Education Authority (HEA) on their behalf.

Failure to register by the required deadline may result in the student becoming liable for the tuition fee if funding cannot be claimed from the HEA.

Changes or Corrections to Fees

The University reserves the right to amend or correct fees charged to a student where an incorrect fee has been communicated or applied due to human error, inaccurate or incomplete information provided during enrolment or registration, or a change in the student’s circumstances that affects the fees payable.

Undergraduate and Taught Postgraduate Students

Prior to a Student making a decision to officially withdraw from a programme, it is highly recommended that contact be made with either their Programme Leader, Head of Department and/or the TUS Retention Officer.

If you would like to talk with someone before making a final decision about withdrawing, please email retention.midwest@tus.ie and a staff member will respond.

For fee purposes, the withdrawal date applied to the Student Record System will be the date on which the form is received in the Admissions Office.

Withdrawals are now open for the academic year 26/27. Click here

To officially withdraw, the student must complete an official TUS student withdrawal form on the link below. Student ID Cards must be returned to the Admissions Office as soon as possible.

Refunds (Applicable to Undergraduate and Taught Postgraduate Students)

If a student officially withdraws from a programme before specific dates a refund of some fees may be possible. Please see following examples:

If a student officially withdraws from the college before 31 October, they will not be charged and will be refunded all contribution/tuition fees paid for that academic year.

If a student officially withdraws from the college between 1 November and 31 January, they will be charged 50% contribution and 50% tuition.  They will be refunded any amount that they have paid that exceeds the 50%.

If a student withdraws after the 31 January, they are not entitled to a refund and are liable for the full fees for that academic year.

Please input your bank details on the student portal (see here for instructions), or return a completed Bank Details Form to studentfees.midwest@tus.ie.

NB: Please note that Materials / Health & Safety fees paid for certain courses are non-refundable.

Students who do not formally withdraw or defer, will continue to be enrolled on their course and where applicable, the Institute will claim their full tuition fee for that year.

If a Student who withdraws, has outstanding fees on their account, this will affect their enrolment should they return to the Institute at a later stage.

Non-EU Students

Non-EU Students who receive a visa to study full-time at TUS are not entitled to a refund unless the student can provide evidence of a medical condition or emergency situation requiring student to return home. In order for a refund to be processed the student must provide evidence of return to home country (flight ticket in the name of the student) and cancellation of study visa at local Immigration Office. Students should contact the Global Office for further information by emailing global@tus.ie or via phone call at +353 61 293400.
