The student services charge is levied by third level institutions to defray the costs of examinations, registration and students services. The charge agreed with the department for the current academic year is €900. All students who are eligible for means tested student support have the student charge paid on their behalf by the Local Authorities or the Vocational Education Committees, in addition to any maintenance grant and tuition fee grant they are entitled to. The student services charge is collected by each individual institution and my department does not have data on the overall value of the charge for the current academic year.
