Pregnant: Due date during exams. What are my rights?

Re: Pregnant during exams

I'm staying in self catering accommodation with my parents and husband. It's a hour to the nearest hospital, it's not on an island or anything. They are making me defer, not allowing me defer - it'd be different if they gave me a choice. The fees are almost 9000 euro and since the course is 18 months and I'd only be deferring three of these I doubt they'd make me pay the full whack again, just the part of the Gaeltacht but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

Re: Pregnant during exams

I presume we're talking about Hibernia College, doubt if there's a SU (but could be wrong).

Anyway, these "rules" are probably being laid down by the Gaeltacht college, not the main college. It's probably a requirement of the Gaeltacht college's insurance.
