For Extended Campus courses at SETU in Carlow, here are the key points to note regarding fees and the refund policy;

Course Fees: The fees quoted are applicable for the academic year 24/25 and may be subject to change over the course duration. If students commence their course after the start of term, SETU reserves the right to adjust the annual tuition fees for future years. 

Correction of Fees: SETU Carlow reserves the right to correct the fee charged to a student in the event that an incorrect fee is notified due to an error, incorrect information obtained during enrolment / registration or a change in student circumstances affecting the fee due.

Part-Time Course Funding: While the government or local education bodies may fund a small number of specific part time courses, the general funding model for part-time education in Ireland is for students to self-fund. The Student Grant SUSI or Back to education allowance BTEA schemes do not currently fund part time courses. SETU may offer alternative payment options, such as instalment plans, for specific courses or in cases of financial hardship.

Payment Methods: SETU in Carlow only accepts on-line card payments and does not accept cash payments.

Timely Free Payments: All student fees must be paid by a specified due date. Failure to pay outstanding fees will result in the student’s access to facilities at SETU being suspended (IT, Library and Blackboard). The student may also be denied entry to examinations and will be considered “deemed withdrawn”. Final year students will not be recorded as graduates and no complete results or academic records will be issued unless all outstanding fees are paid in full.

Deferral and Fee Payment: The granting of a full-year deferral can only be considered if the course fee has been paid in full.

Exemption Applications: Applications for exemptions from modules to be studied in the Academic Year 2024-2025 must be made by Friday, 11 October, 2024.
