University College Dublin will this year introduce fees for its student health service.
Students were informed of the new charges by email on Monday.
From the start of the academic year, charges will include a €10 fee for a nurse visit and a €25 fee to see a doctor.
Charges will not apply to students on medical cards, while counselling services will also remain free of charge.
UCD student union president Garry Redmond says the new system will not affect vulnerable students.
