Registered students can make a fee payment by debit/credit card via Self Service Banner.
Unfortunately it is not possible to accept payment over the phone or by cash/cheque.
Your student account in Self Service banner will always reflect your full tuition fees. If you want to make a partial payment you will need to edit the amount you want to pay.
Instructions:
If you choose to withdraw or defer from your course, there will be fee implications depending on the date that you officially withdraw/defer.
If you decide to defer/withdraw it is very important that you follow the official procedure. It is not sufficient to tell or email a staff member that you are leaving.
Further information about the Deferrals and Withdrawals policy, fee implications and the official application process is available here.
If you do not pay your tuition fees by the required deadlines, or fall behind on an agreed payment plan, a fee hold will be applied to your account. This means that your access to Moodle/Library/Exam Results cannot be guaranteed.
As ATU is listed by the Irish revenue as an ‘Approved Institution’ students are eligible to claim tax relief at the standard rate for tuition fees.
In order to determine your own eligibility and if the course you have applied for qualifies for a tax refund, please read the information on the Revenue website
A receipt of payment can be issued on request by completing the Request for a Receipt of Fees Paid for Part-Time Online Course application form available here.
