Two instalment plans are not open to single-semester students. 

Pay Monthly

Our administration fee for those selecting a monthly payment plan is €500 (20 weeks) for all room categories. It is non-refundable.  A €300 deposit applies to monthly payments too (refundable at the end of your lease period in line with our terms and conditions). You are required to pay 2 months accommodation costs prior to check-in and every 30 days thereafter you will pay monthly for the length of the contract.  

To apply we require the details of a guarantor who must live at an Irish address. Your guarantor will receive an email requesting proof of both address and income documentation to be sent to us.  

Proof of address from your Guarantor can be as follows;

Your guarantor will co-sign your lease agreement agreeing to cover any accommodation costs which you default in remitting to us.  You both will be required to provide evidence of an established standing order for your monthly payments prior to arrival.  

Please do not proceed with a monthly payment plan if your intended arrival is within eight weeks from today's date. The process of booking with us monthly requires the following administrative processes which take up to eight weeks to complete. The process includes:

• Confirmation from your Guarantor that they wish to be named as such on your lease agreement.  
• Management Approval of your Guarantors Proof of Address & Income Documentation prior to arrival.   
• Management Approval of your Proof of Standing Order Established prior to arrival and shown to us.
