"From the 14th July, 2008, all student visa applications should contain a copy of an Electronic Transfer of Funds from the applicant to the Irish Bank of the college, showing details of beneficiary's name, address, bank details and the same details for sender."

If a refund is due for students who have obtained entry into Ireland on the basis of a student visa, and who do not take up a place or officially withdraw from the University, the refund cheque will be posted to the country of origin. For students who have travelled to Ireland refunds will be issued only on receipt of proof of return to home country (e.g. a return air ticket with boarding card). An administrative charge of 10% of the programme fee applies.

Refunds for non-EU students who are refused a visa are returned to the country of origin. A copy of the letter from the Dept. of Justice, Equality and Law Reform refusing an entry visa should be attached to the refund application. An administrative charge of 10% of the programme fee applies.
