Graduate Research - Postgraduate Research Students:
Registration Grace Period
Students who commence their research from 1st April onwards each year register as normal but because they are registering during DCU’s registration grace period, this means that they will not be liable for any research fees until the start of the next academic year. Students who are paying their own fees will however be liable to a non-refundable deposit of €1,000, which will then be deducted from their fees in the following academic year.
NB: Students who register during the grace period (April to September) will register as Year 1 students but they must also register again as Year 1 students in September/October for the next academic year (even though this will have meant registering twice in a short period of time). Such students will only be liable to the 1st year full-time or part-time fee applicable to the new academic year.
Card Fee Scheme - 2012/2013
The Card Fee scheme run by the Graduate Studies Office in cooperation with Registry and the Fees Office, facilitates full-time and part-time research students' progression through the closing stages of their research degree by enabling them, when qualifying conditions are met, to avail of a reduced fee (EUR150) instead of the usual fee associated with their year of study.
For 2012/13 the Card Fee scheme has been brought in line with closing dates for the submission of relevant postgraduate research (PGR) progression forms.
Applicants will also have to have paid sufficient research fees.
Supervisors will be required to submit a Card Fee Declaration and then qualification will be confirmed upon submission of a soft bound thesis by Monday 7th January 2013.
Please see the following Terms and Conditions for details, incorporating all relevant deadlines.
