NQF Level 6 Courses
If you are a Springboard+ funded student completing a NQF Level 6 programme, it is fully funded by the HEA, and you are not required to make any payment towards your tuition fees.
NQF Level 7-9 Courses
If you are completing a NQF Level 7 – 9 programme it is 90% funded by the HEA. If you are employed, you will be required to pay the remaining 10% of your tuition fees by the relevant payment deadlines. If you are unemployed, no payment will be required.
Springboard+ Platform Registration
The HEA require you to confirm your registration status on the Springboard+ platform at specific times during the academic year to ensure your tuition fees are released to ATU Sligo. The Springboard+ Co-ordinator will send you an email when you are due to complete these registration steps.
Student Fee Balance
Your student account will show your full course fee for the academic year until funding has been been received from the HEA. At registration you will be asked to pay your fees. You should select ‘Pay Later’. This will allow you to be temporarily registered until payment has been received.
