Public Accounts Committee

Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology: Financial Statements 2013

10:00 am

Mr. Jim Fennell:

Yes. The process we have is that we register all students who accept a place and, particularly over the last number of years, we put a payment plan in place for those who struggle to afford the fees. Our policy is that we do not remove the students from the classroom or debar them from attending exams. We allow them to complete the year they are on and then we refuse to admit them to any subsequent year if they have not paid the debt from the previous year.
