The student contribution and tuition fees are set by the government

Students can pay student contribution and tuition fees by logging onto IADT’s online ePayment service: https://epay.iadt.ie/invoice

Please allow 2 working days for your student account balance to update following successful payment.

You just need your IADT student ID, date of birth and a valid credit or debit card to pay your fees.  Your student ID starts with the capital letter N, followed by 8 numbers, eg N00123456.  Enter your date of birth in the format dd/mm/yyyy.

Before making any payments, you should ensure that the amount you are trying to pay does not exceed any limits placed on your card by its issuer.  For example, some cards (especially debit cards) have a daily or individual transaction limit, and you may need to make smaller payments over a few days if paying a larger amount.

Some banks require verification to complete a transaction with a credit or debit card.  This may involve sending a code to the phone number associated with the card and account.

This service uses encryption technology which offers a high level of security. Payments are made through a secure payment gateway, and 3D security is enabled on this site in conjunction with REALEX and Evalon, thus IADT does not receive any of your card details.

All payments on IADT’s online store are in EURO and your account will be immediately debited.  Please note it may take at least 2 working days (or more at peak times) for the payment to be reflected on your student record balance.

The Institute will not accept any liability if payment is refused or declined by the credit/debit card supplier for any reason. It is the responsibility of the payer to ensure payment has been made. Please read the full Online Payment Services Terms & Conditions carefully before using IADT’s online payment facility.
