Additional Costs Associated with Programme Delivery
Setanta College aims to minimise additional costs to students by including the costs of programme delivery, learning resources, assessments, residential events and graduation ceremonies within the published tuition fee wherever possible. However, students should be aware of the following potential additional costs:
Repeat Module Fee
Students who are required to repeat an entire module following unsuccessful completion will be charged a Repeat Module Fee of €75 per module. This fee applies only where a student is required to re-enrol in and complete the full module. It does not apply to the resubmission of an assessment within the normal assessment regulations.
Graduation Attendance
Attendance at the College’s graduation ceremony is optional. There is no charge to attend the ceremony itself. Venue hire, catering and event costs are covered by Setanta College. Students who choose to attend are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, graduating gowns and any other personal expenses.
Residential Workshops and Practical Events
For residential workshops or other practical events, Setanta College covers the costs of the venue, academic delivery, guest speakers and catering. Students are responsible for their own travel, accommodation and other personal expenses associated with attending these events.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
There is no fee to submit an application for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Where an application is successful and module exemptions are awarded, an exemption processing fee of €50 per 10-credit module, up to a maximum of €150 per programme, applies. This fee replaces the tuition fee that would otherwise have been payable for the exempted module(s).
