(opens in a new window)Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) is the single Awarding Authority for all new student grant applications.
Each week, UCD receives a file of recently approved applicants from SUSI. Once the Systems and Data Services team loads this file to Banner:
- A credit is applied to the students' account for the amount approved by SUSI
- Registration is verified and this information is returned to SUSI
- Students receive an email telling them that their grant has been approved/renewed
- An invoice for those fees will then be issued to SUSI for payment
Important Points of note
- Students who have accepted the offer of a place in UCD and who have applied to SUSI for a grant must enter their 13 digit alpha numeric SUSI number (including the “W”) in the Personal Details section in online registration. This is very important as this is used to match the UCD and the SUSI record
- SUSI Grant Holders do not need to notify UCD of their grant approval status. SUSI will notify UCD directly if a student is approved for a grant
