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.
To officially withdraw, the student must complete an official TUS student withdrawal form, a hard copy can be obtained from the Admissions Office and the School Offices. The Student should return the completed, signed withdrawal form, together with their Student ID Card to the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Non-EU student should submit their withdrawal form to the International Office. For relevant documents and forms please with the Admissions Office section of this website.
For fee purposes upon receipt of the official withdrawal form, the Admission Office will liaise with the relevant Department to determine the student’s last date of attendance. This date will be then used, as the last date of attendance.
Refunds
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 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, 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.
