INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Central Applications Office (CAO) is to process centrally applications for undergraduate
courses in Irish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), and to deal with them in an efficient and fair manner. The
HEIs retain the function of making decisions on admissions.
This handbook has been prepared to provide information about the CAO application process. By reading this
handbook carefully you will find out the information that you need to assist you with your application.
There are many avenues to be explored when you decide to make the journey into higher education. For the
majority, that journey will involve a CAO application. It is important to note, however, that there are alternative
access routes to higher education, other institutions offering further and higher education, and situations where
you may have to apply to an institution directly.
You should allow ample time to research your course choices carefully, and check for matriculation and
minimum entry requirements - you will not receive an offer of a place on your chosen course if you do not meet
the minimum entry requirements. You can find out more information from the prospectuses and websites of
the institutions, at Open Days, and from your guidance counsellor.
For some institutions, fees or a student contribution may be payable – you should refer to the HEI website for
fees information and go to www.studentfinance.ie or www.susi.ie for information about finance and grants.
If you have questions for CAO that are not answered in CAO literature or on the CAO website, or if you do not
understand any instruction that you receive from CAO, please contact us using the Contact form on the website
www.cao.ie.
APPLICANT’S RESPONSIBILITY
Before applying to CAO it is important that you note the following information:





You, the applicant, are responsible for ensuring that an application is submitted complete, correct and
on time.
In any one year, you may not present more than one application.
You must examine the contents of this handbook carefully.
CAO and HEIs may assume that anyone who is able to quote your CAO application number is
authorised to make changes to your application or act on your behalf.
Certain minimum computing facilities are required for online applications (e.g. the latest version of
Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome) and applicants are advised to use a personal
computer when applying to CAO in order to reduce the potential for applicant error.
2
RESTRICTIONS
As a CAO applicant you may experience one or more of the following restrictions based on your course choices,
your category of application, or restrictions imposed by the HEIs that you wish to apply to. Please read the
following sections carefully:
General Restrictions
1. Submitting a late application – individual HEIs may have restrictions on late applications, for example,
some HEIs may not consider late applications from certain categories of applicant. In particular, mature
applicants and those presenting qualifications other than recently taken EU school-leaving
examinations should check the relevant HEI website or make enquiries with the relevant Admissions
Office before submitting a late application.
2. Making changes to your course choices – there are a number of intervals when you can make changes
to your CAO application. However, if you are applying for a restricted course or if you are a restrictedcategory applicant, you may not be able to use the free Change of Mind facility which opens in May and
closes on the 1st July at 5:15pm. For more information about making changes to your application go to
pages 14 and 15.
Restricted Courses
3.
Applying for a restricted course – you must have applied to CAO by 5:15pm on 1st February 2017 if you
wish to apply for a restricted course. The restricted course must be included on your course choices list
by that date, or added to your application using the Change of Course Choices facility before 1st
March at 5:15pm.
Restricted courses normally require additional assessment procedures, e.g. the submission of a
portfolio, an oral assessment or interview, or a written assessment – restricted courses are identified in
the handbook by the words “(Restricted - see page 3)” on the same line as the restricted course’s title.
Please make sure to acquaint yourself with the additional requirements, if any, of the restricted
course(s) that you have applied for and go to page 11 for more information about interviews and
assessments.
Exception: If a restricted course shares the exact same assessment procedures with a course you had
applied for by 1st February 2017, you may be permitted to introduce it on a Change of Mind. You should
consult with the relevant HEI before introducing such a course.
Restricted-category Applicants
4.
5.
Mature applicants – most HEIs will require mature applicants, who wish to be assessed on mature
grounds, to have applied to CAO by 1st February 2017 at 5:15pm. (This restriction does not apply if the
applicant wishes to be considered on the basis of school leaving qualifications only.) For more
information about applying to CAO on the basis of mature years go to www.cao.ie/mature.
Applying for the HEAR and/or DARE schemes – to be considered for the HEAR and/or DARE schemes
applicants must have registered on the CAO system by 1st February 2017 at 5:15pm and must have
completed the HEAR/DARE application form by 1st March 2017 at 5:15pm – supporting documents must
be sent to CAO offices before 1st April 2017 at 5:15pm.

your CAO application number
1.
2.
3.

Enter your personal details.
Select the qualifications and assessments section(s) that are relevant to you (there may be more than
one relevant section – see page 5 for more information).
4. Select your payment method – if you are paying by credit or debit card you will be redirected to a
payment screen. All payment card transactions are handled by Realex Payments - no payment card
details will be stored on the CAO system. Once your payment has been processed you will be brought
back to the CAO website to complete the remaining steps.
5. Create a password. If you forget your password you can use the forgotten password facility. You will
need your CAO application number, date of birth and the registered email address for your account to
be able to automatically reset your password. If you experience difficulty resetting your password
contact CAO using the Contact facility.
6. Supply a valid email address. Please note that the HEIs to which you apply may wish to communicate
with you about your application and they may contact you by email, post or SMS text message.
7. You must then click on ‘Proceed with application’ to obtain your CAO application number. Your
application details will appear on screen and you will also receive an email containing your CAO
application number. If you do not receive an email with your application number, your application has
not been processed successfully.

when you registered on the CAO system.
CATEGORIES OF QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSESSMENTS
Some applicants may select one or more of the sections below and it is important that applicants inform CAO
of all qualifications in order to be credited for them at the offer stage. Please follow the instructions for the
sections that are relevant to you. Unless these instructions are followed precisely, it may be necessary to
suspend processing of your application and to contact you to seek compliance with the requirements. In such
cases, an additional processing fee of €10 will be imposed.
When sending copies of supporting documents please write your CAO application number on the front of
each page and refer to page 12 of this handbook for further information.
IRISH LEAVING CERTIFICATE EXAMS (1985-2017) If you are applying on the basis of Leaving
Certificate results you will be asked to enter the name and address of your second-level school(s) and the years
attended. If you are a current year Leaving Certificate candidate you must tick the box provided – usually, you
will not have your Leaving Certificate examination number when you first make your CAO application, but at a
later date you will be asked to verify your Leaving Certificate examination number on your Statement of
Application Record which you will receive in May. If you have previously sat the Leaving Certificate you must
provide your examination number(s) and the year(s) in which you sat your examination(s).
QQI FET/FETAC LEVEL 5/6 EXAMS (2002-2017) If you are taking and/or have completed a QQI
FET/FETAC Level 5/6 award between 2002 and 2017, please enter your assigned PPS number in the box
provided. Certificates will need to be provided for QQI FET/FETAC exams taken in conjunction with other bodies
e.g. FÁS/Teagasc. NOTE: Specific QQI FET/FETAC Level 5/6 awards may be required for entry to particular
courses. You should check the appropriate HEI literature to ensure that your QQI FET/FETAC Level 5/6 course
is acceptable. A full QQI FET/FETAC Level 5/6 Award is required; a QQI FET/FETAC Level 5/6 Record of
Achievement is not sufficient.
FETAC LEVEL 5/6 (NCVA LEVEL 2/3) EXAMS (2001 OR EARLIER) Mention any pre-2002
examinations which have been fully completed, including the year taken and a brief description. Submit
certified A4 photocopies of certificates for any pre-2002 NCVA Level 2/3 examinations.
If you require previous FETAC Level 5/6 examinations to be combined with your current year QQI FET/FETAC
Level 5/6 examinations, you should contact QQI FET/FETAC to ensure that CAO receives the combined results
in the current year examination results file. Please Note: Specific QQI FET/FETAC Level 5/6 awards may be
required for entry to particular courses. You should check the appropriate HEI literature to ensure that your QQI
FET/FETAC Level 5/6 course is acceptable. A full QQI FET/FETAC Level 5/6 Award is required; a QQI FET/FETAC
Level 5/6 Record of Achievement is not sufficient.
5
GCE/GCSE (ENGLAND, WALES, AND NORTHERN IRELAND EXAMS) If you are applying on the
basis of GCE/GCSE exams to be taken this year you must provide the Exam Board, Centre number, Candidate
number, Subject(s) and Level in the spaces provided. For any GCE/GCSE examinations which you have already
completed, and for which a certificate has been issued, you must post certified A4 photocopies (certified by a
school stamp) of the appropriate certificates to CAO - these will form part of your eligibility for consideration
for entry to courses. Please include your CAO application number on these certificates. If you are presenting
previous years’ GCE/GCSE examinations you must tick the box provided on the application form. Please Note:
Certificates or statements of results must be issued by the exam boards (containing the exam board logo).
Documents produced by schools will not be sufficient.
Boards other than CIE, CCEA, UCLES, WJEC, OCR, EDEXCEL, AQA, and AEB must be entered under "Other
School Leaving Exams".
OTHER SCHOOL LEAVING EXAMS (e.g. Baccalaureate, Scottish Exams, pre-1985 Irish & UK exams,
Leaving Exams outside of UK & Ireland, Leaving Cert Applied, Level 3 BTEC, GNVQs, VCEs, Irish Matric Exams,
etc.) Please provide details of other school leaving exams and the years they were completed. Describe the
examinations briefly, including details of the National or European framework level where relevant, and submit
certified A4 photocopies of any certificates with translations if the certificate is not in English or Irish. If you are
sitting your examinations in 2017, please submit certified photocopies of your results to CAO as soon as they
become available.
FURTHER EDUCATION (OTHER THAN QQI FET/FETAC LEVEL 5/6 AND NCVA LEVEL 2/3)
Please provide information about any other Further Education courses that you have undertaken that do not
fall into one of the other sections on this application form, e.g. City & Guild awards, FÁS awards, BTEC level 4 or
higher etc. Mention any Post-Leaving Certificate courses (Republic of Ireland), and describe briefly on
additional pages any special experience and/or qualification stipulated in HEI literature as being relevant for the
admission process. You can send certified A4 photocopies of certificates to support your application. If relevant,
state on additional pages the dates, locations, subjects and (if known) results. Mention any other relevant
Further Education/Training qualifications.
THIRD-LEVEL HIGHER EDUCATION This information is required regardless of whether you passed or
failed or did not take examinations. Failure to disclose the appropriate information may result in the cancellation
of your application. Checks are made to ensure that this information has not been omitted.

attendance (with your postal documents) showing the relevant dates of entry and withdrawal.
If you are still attending an institution of higher education, give full details stating institution(s)
attended, course(s) taken, dates of attendance, current status and results obtained. Attach these
details to your postal documents. You do not need to supply the documentation mentioned in points 1

Some HEIs take account of the impact of your disability and/or specific learning difficulty on your educational
performance through the provision of alternative admissions schemes. If deemed eligible for these schemes
applicants may receive a reduction in points for entry to courses in participating HEIs. To be considered for entry
to a course, applicants must satisfy matriculation/minimum entry and subject requirements. Full details on the
Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) and information which you should use to help you apply for the
scheme are available at www.accesscollege.ie. There are other admissions routes for mature and QQI
FET/FETAC Level 5/6 applicants; further information is available on HEI websites.
Applicants applying for DARE must:

2. Apply to CAO by 5:15pm on 1st February 2017.
3. No later than 5:15pm on 1st March 2017, you must disclose your disability and/or specific learning
difficulty in your CAO application and fully and correctly complete Section A of the Supplementary
Information Form (SIF) (the SIF is a part of your CAO application).
If you wish to be considered for the DARE scheme you must answer yes to question 1 on Section A
of the fully completed SIF by 5:15pm on 1st March 2017.
4. Download Section B of the SIF (Educational Impact Statement), have it completed by your school and

professional (only if you do not already have a report verifying your disability) and returned to CAO to
arrive by 5:15pm on 1st April 2017. In place of Section C, applicants with a specific learning difficulty or
dyspraxia are asked to provide a full psycho-educational assessment completed by an appropriately
qualified psychologist. In addition, applicants with dyspraxia must provide documentation from an
occupational therapist, neurologist or physiotherapist.
Please Note: There are particular requirements for Section C of the SIF when applying for alternative
admissions schemes in relation to the Medical Consultant/Specialist who must verify your disability,
the age limit on reports and the documentation required.
10
You should obtain a certificate of posting and include your CAO application number on the front of all
correspondence. If you wish to receive confirmation from CAO that your documents have been received you
must include a self-addressed and stamped postcard.
You are not obliged to disclose a disability and/or specific learning difficulty unless you are applying for an
alternative admissions scheme (e.g. DARE or another scheme offered by HEIs operating admission
schemes for school-leavers with disabilities). If you do not wish to disclose your disability and/or specific
learning difficulty on the application form, you may do so at any time on entering a HEI and reasonable
accommodation will be made at that stage if possible. Please note that disclosure of a disability and/or specific
learning difficulty will not adversely affect your application in any way.
If you were deemed eligible for DARE in 2016 it carries forward for one year provided that you apply to CAO by
the 1st February 2017 at 5:15pm and indicate that you wish to apply to DARE by 5:15pm on 1st March 2017;
disclose your disability by 5:15pm on 1st March 2017 in your CAO application; and fully and correctly complete
Section A of the Supplementary Information Form. Indicate that you wish to be considered for the DARE
scheme by indicating this on Section A of the fully completed SIF by ticking ‘Yes’ to Question 1 by 5:15pm on 1st
March 2017. You must enter your correct CAO 2016 application number at Question 1(b) of the SIF. You are still
required to complete all relevant sections of the 2017 SIF form, however you do not need to supply supporting
documents as part of your application.
INTERVIEWS AND ASSESSMENTS
For some courses you may need to sit additional assessments, provide supplementary information (e.g. a
portfolio or a statement), or attend for an interview. Some of these courses will be marked as “(Restricted – see
page 3)” in the CAO handbook, but you should consult the websites and prospectuses of the HEIs for more
information.
GAMSAT, HPAT and MSAP
You are advised to apply online, before 1st February at 5:15pm, if you need to apply for the 2017 GAMSAT, HPAT
and/or MSAP tests. Current year results will be obtained directly from ACER provided you have applied on time
for consideration for entry to the relevant courses. Check your email inbox regularly as CAO communicates via
email with such applicants. If you have previous valid GAMSAT and/or MSAP tests, you must supply to CAO
copies of these results with your application, or within seven days of applying online. Consult the appropriate
HEI literature regarding their validity.
Graduate Medicine
Qualified applicants are ranked solely on the basis of GAMSAT results. To qualify, applicants must obtain a
second class honours grade one (2H1) in their first Level 8 Honours Degree. For more information go to the
Student Resources section of www.cao.ie and click on the Entry to Medicine tab.
Mature Nursing/Midwifery
Mature applicants for nursing/midwifery are ranked based on their score in the assessment process. The Public
Appointments Service (PAS) carries out the assessment test for mature nursing applicants on behalf of the
Nursing and Midwifery Board (NMBI). To sit the test you must complete the following two steps:
1. Register with www.publicjobs.ie by creating a profile (if you have not already done so). Do not confuse
registering (creating a profile) with submitting an application form. Remember to note down your login
and password details as you will require these during the assessment process to access your messages.
2. Complete and submit the online application form between 2nd February 2017 and 22nd February 2017.
If you have not received a confirmation email from the PAS within 24 hours of submitting your
application you should contact them at [email protected] or phone 01-8587730.
For full details on the assessment test process, go to http://www.nmbi.ie/Careers-in-Nursing-Midwifery or email
[email protected] - see also the instructions on page 21.

appear on screen. Such documents must arrive in CAO within ten days of the submission of the online
application.
When sending supporting documents to CAO please write your CAO application number on the front of each
page and obtain a certificate of posting from the post office. CAO will not check that the documents supplied

For all other examining bodies you must supply certified copies of results of summer 2017 examinations to CAO.
To be considered in the competition for places in Round One, these results must arrive in CAO at least 10 days
before the issue of Round One offers, otherwise they will be considered for subsequent rounds.
APPLYING FOR A MAINTENANCE FEE GRANT (SUSI)
Step 5 – Indicate if you wish to be considered for Maintenance Fee/Grant (SUSI)
If you wish to apply for a grant you may indicate this on your CAO online application. CAO will then provide your
identification, contact and offer/acceptance details to the grant authority (SUSI). Ticking this section of the
CAO form does not mean that you have applied to SUSI so please make sure to visit www.studentfinance.ie
or www.susi.ie to complete the necessary steps.
Other than providing these details to the grant authority, CAO plays no role in processing grant applications.
12
INTRODUCING YOUR COURSE CHOICES
Step 6 – Add your Level 8 and Level 7/6 course choices before 1 st February
The courses listed in this handbook are classified with reference to the National Framework of Qualifications
(NFQ). Courses are listed by their NFQ Level of learning achievement, e.g. NFQ Level 6, 7 or 8 and by the NFQ
Award-Type to which each course leads e.g. Honours Bachelor Degree.
This table outlines the range of NFQ Levels and Award-Types that are used to classify the courses in this
handbook:
NFQ Levels
Major Award-Types
Level 7
Ordinary Bachelor Degree (DG)
Level 8
Level 6
Table 1.6 NFQ Levels and Award-Types
Honours Bachelor Degree (HD)
Higher Certificate (HC)
A small number of courses listed in this handbook lead to what are known as non-major awards. Where
applicable, these will be listed as Certificates (CT) or Foundation Certificates (FC) at NFQ Level 6 and as
Diplomas (DP) at NFQ Level 7.
You are responsible for ensuring that you meet the specified entry requirements and conditions for all courses.
The processing of an application at any stage should not be taken as an indication of eligibility for any course.
To add your course choices simply log in to the My Application facility and click on Add Level 8 course choices
or Add Level 7/6 course choices. You are given the option to introduce ten course choices on each list, and
the choices that you make on one list will not affect the choices on the other list – the only time you have to
choose between the lists is if you receive an offer of a course from both lists.
You will have opportunities to make changes to your course choices lists using the Change of Mind facility –
restrictions apply.
Order of Preference
When entering your course choices it is extremely important that you list your courses based on your genuine
order of preference and not on assumptions about examination performance or what you think the points will
be for a course.
At the offer stage, you will receive an offer of the course highest up on your course choices list(s) that you are
deemed eligible for, if any. For example, if you receive your first preference Level 8 course in Round One you
will not receive an offer for a lower Level 8 preference in subsequent rounds. If you receive an offer of your third
preference course you may still receive an offer of your second or first preference course in a subsequent round
of offers, but you will not receive an offer of your fourth preference course or lower.
For more information about how offers are issued and order of preference visit the CAO video guides in the
Student Resources section of the CAO website www.cao.ie.
13
STATEMENT OF APPLICATION RECORD
Before the end of May, you will be sent a Statement of Application Record as a final acknowledgement and to
enable you to verify that all information has been recorded completely and correctly. You should check the
following:
1. Are all of your course choices shown and in the correct order?
2. Are all of the course codes correct?
3. Are the examination numbers correct?
4. Are all examinations mentioned?
5. Are all personal details correct?
If you have not received the Statement by 1st June, you must contact CAO immediately. Failure to do so may
have very serious consequences, e.g. you might not receive an offer.
CHANGE OF MIND AND EXCEPTIONAL LATE APPLICATIONS
The CAO online Change of Mind facility opens in early May and closes on 1st July at 5:15pm. You can use the
online facility as many times as you like to add, remove or re-order your courses for no extra charge until the 1st
July at 5:15pm.
To change course choices, log in to your CAO Account via the My Application facility and click on Add Level 8
Course Choices or Add Level 7/6 Course Choices. You can then use the New Courses list to enter new courses,
disregard existing course choices, or re-order you existing course selection. You must list all of your courses in
your order of preference on the new list. If you change courses online, an acknowledgement will be sent to your
email address - please check this email carefully and inform CAO of any errors or omissions. You should also
check that your courses have been updated by using the My Application facility before 5:15pm on 1st July.
Please Note: You cannot introduce restricted courses using the Change of Mind facility. Exception: In the case
of a restricted course which shares the exact same assessment procedures with a course you had applied for by
1st February 2017 at 5:15pm, you may be permitted to introduce it on a Change of Mind. You should consult with
the relevant HEI before introducing such a course.
In early February, a Change of Course Choices facility becomes available online for a fee of €10. This facility can
be used by registered applicants to add any restricted courses not already listed on an application, or by
registered restricted-category applicants who need to make changes to their course choices, up to 1st March
2017 at 5:15pm.
If you submit a Change of Mind, it cancels and supersedes all previous course choices in any category in which
changes are made.
Late Applications (Exception to Timetable):
The exceptional closing date of 22nd of July at 5:15pm applies only to applicants who are currently undergraduate
students in any year in any one of the participating HEIs (subject to the exclusions listed on page 15). In order to
avail of the Exceptional Late Application facility you must have entered the HEI through the CAO system.
If you did not enter your current course through the CAO system, you must first contact the Admissions Office
of the HEI to which you wish to apply and they will inform you if you may submit an application direct to the

14
Exclusions:
You may submit a late application only for entry to courses other than your existing course. If you wish to repeat
the year in the same course you must arrange this within your HEI.
Mary Immaculate College Limerick, Trinity College Dublin and the University of Limerick have special
procedures in place in the case of current or previous students who wish to apply for entry to another course in
the same HEI. Such applicants must contact their Admissions Office to determine the application procedure.
However, if you are a student in another HEI and you wish to apply to any of these three HEIs, you should apply
through CAO.
To make an Exceptional Late Application you must:
 Go to the Admissions Office of your current institution and inform them that you wish to apply to CAO.
 Ask the HEI to supply you with a CAO fee payment form which, once completed, must be stamped on
part one by the Admissions Office of the institution to confirm that you are currently a student of the
institution.
 Submit your CAO application online before the 22nd of July at 5:15pm. Choose the "Fee Payment Form"
method of payment on the application form. Do not enter course choices at this time.
 Take note of your CAO application number and, using the CAO fee payment form provided by your
institution (as above), make a payment of €50 at a bank.
 Write your CAO application number on the CAO fee payment form.
 Complete the paper Course Choices/Change of Mind Form including your list of course choices in
genuine order of preference.
 Post part one of the fee payment form, together with the completed Course Choices/Change of Mind
form, to CAO and include your CAO application number on the front of the documents. Please ensure
that the forms are received by CAO by 22nd of July at 5:15pm.
 CAO will post a Statement of Application Record to you after the 22nd July closing date, once your
application has been recorded. If you have not received this statement by 1st August, please contact
CAO immediately.
Change of Mind (Exception to Timetable):
The exceptional Change of Mind closing date of 22nd of July at 5:15pm applies only to applicants who are
currently undergraduate students in any year in any one of the participating HEIs (subject to the exclusions listed
above) and who previously made an application through CAO for 2017 entry. In order to avail of the Exceptional
Change of Mind facility you must have entered the HEI through the CAO system.
Applicants must complete a paper Change of Mind form (contact CAO to request a form) and, once completed,
this form needs to be brought to the Admissions Office of your current institution to be stamped. The form must
then be returned to CAO by the 22nd of July at 5:15pm. There is no fee for this service. CAO cannot accept any
responsibility for loss or hardship arising from your failure to avail of correction opportunities within the
time specified.
CHANGES TO YOUR PERSONAL AND EXAMINATION INFORMATION
You may change some of your personal information (e.g. postal address, telephone number and email address)
either online using the My Application facility or on paper. To change your name, date of birth or to add
examination information to your application, you must write to CAO.
If you change personal information online, an acknowledgement will be sent to your email address. Please check
that your change has been updated by using the My Application facility. Personal or examination changes
submitted in paper form will be acknowledged in the form of a Statement of Application Record. If you have not
received your amended Statement of Application Record by 7th of July, or within seven days of posting the
amendment to CAO after 7th of July, you must contact CAO immediately.
15
IMPORTANT:
If you have applied for any restricted courses and/or you are a restricted category of applicant and you
change your contact details, please contact the institutions you have applied to in order to ensure that they
have your most recent details on file.
IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE
CAO will communicate with applicants via post and email, and in some instances telephone and SMS text
message, at various intervals throughout the application process. All CAO correspondence must be read
carefully and any errors or omissions notified to CAO immediately via the Contact form on our website
www.cao.ie.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all relevant correspondence is received and dealt with
appropriately. If an applicant is going to be absent at any stage between February and October they should
arrange for someone to deal quickly with their correspondence. Failure to respond may have very serious
consequences, e.g. you may not receive an offer.
Please make sure to check the email account provided at the application stage and carefully read the
Statement of Application Record issued to all applicants in May.
At the offers stage, applicants will receive an Offer Notice if they are deemed eligible for an offer or another
Statement of Application Record if they have not been deemed eligible for an offer in Round One.
Some HEIs will also contact applicants directly by post, email or SMS text message.
You should periodically check your spam, bulk, promotional or junk mail folders. If you find emails from CAO or
HEIs are being directed to these folders you should consider adding these email addresses to your contacts or
email address book.

Applicants being assessed on the basis of qualifications other than school leaving qualifications or QQI
FET/FETAC Level 5/6 (2002 – 2017) may receive an offer in Round A or Round Zero. If they are unsuccessful in
receiving an offer in Round A, Round Zero or Round One, they will receive another Statement of Application
Record from CAO in conjunction with the distribution of Round One offers in August.
Applicants applying on the basis of school leaving examination results, regardless of the year completed, may
receive an offer in Round One if they are deemed eligible. If they are not deemed eligible for an offer they will
receive another Statement of Application Record which they must check carefully and inform CAO immediately
if there are any errors or omissions.
ACCEPTING AN OFFER
If you receive an offer and you choose to accept this offer, you can do so online or by post, but do not do both.
If you choose to accept your offer you must do so by the reply date indicated on the Offer Notice. If you receive
an offer from both lists you must choose between them - you can only accept one offer, in any one round,
from either the Level 8 or the Level 7/6 list.
Accepting a lower preference course in an earlier Offer Round will not prevent you from receiving an offer in a
subsequent round of a course higher up on your course choices list if you are deemed eligible. Should a place
become available in a later round, and if you are entitled to this place, you may receive an offer which you can
choose to accept or ignore. Accepting the new offer will automatically cancel the previous acceptance.
When you accept an offer you will receive formal notification from CAO by post within three working days of
the reply date. If you do not receive this correspondence you must contact CAO immediately through
www.cao.ie. If you accept your offer online you will also receive an acknowledgment email and you can check
that your acceptance has been recorded online at www.cao.ie via the My Application facility.

THE POINT-SCORING SYSTEM FOR LEAVING CERTIFICATE APPLICANTS
Round One offers are issued as soon as possible after the current year Irish Leaving Certificate examination
results become available, normally within a week of the issue of results to candidates in mid-August. The results
are input into the CAO system and for each course that you have applied to, the CAO system will first check that
you meet the minimum entry requirements.
If you meet the eligibility criteria for the course(s) that you have applied for the system then calculates a points
score using the HEI common points scale:
HEI Common Points Scale
Higher Level Grade
Points
Ordinary Level Grade

H1 (90 – 100)
H2 (80 <90)
H3 (70 < 80)

Maths Bonus Points
25 bonus points will be awarded for Higher Level Mathematics for H6 grades and above. For example, if an
applicant receives a H6 grade, an additional 25 points will be added to the 46 points already awarded for a H6
grade i.e. Higher Level Mathematics now carries a points score of 71 for this applicant.

The six best scores, in recognised subjects, in one Leaving Certificate Examination will be counted for points
computation. If you receive a H6 grade or higher in Higher Level Mathematics, then you include the
additional 25 bonus points now to identify your best six scores. The bonus points are included in the overall
points calculation only when Mathematics is one of the applicant's best six subjects following the addition
of the bonus.
Only one sitting of the Leaving Certificate Examination will be counted for points purposes.
In the case of certain subjects, e.g. Home Economics (General), Foundation Level Mathematics or
Foundation Level Irish, some HEIs may not award the points shown. If in any doubt, check with the
Admissions Office of the appropriate HEIs.
Remember, you must first meet the minimum entry requirements in order to be considered for entry to a
course.

Table 1.9 Example of a points score calculation
After the points have been calculated, applicants are placed on a list in order of merit for each course for which
they are eligible. For example, if you have the highest points score you go to the top of the list and the applicant
with the second-highest points score goes second on the list, and so on.
The HEIs then instruct CAO on how many offers to make for each course. If you are in 20th position for a chosen
course, and the institution instructs CAO to offer 25 places, then you will receive an offer of a place on that
course unless you have received an offer of a course higher up on your preference list. You will not be offered a
lower preference course if you receive an offer of a course higher up on your preference list.
For some courses random number selection may also be a factor. Before applicants are placed on the Order of
Merit lists for courses they are assigned a random number for each course choice. If there are five applicants
with an identical points score competing for one remaining place, random number selection applies and the
place will be offered to the applicant with the highest random number.
If an applicant is not deemed eligible for an offer in the first round of offers they may receive an offer in
subsequent rounds.
Please Note: NCAD does not award points for Leaving Certificate or other examinations in the case of their
restricted courses. Consult NCAD literature for details.
Applicants for undergraduate medicine courses should consult the Student Resources section of the CAO
website and click on the Entry to Medicine tab.
All HEIs award points for results in Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme Link Modules, in place of a sixth
Leaving Certificate subject. However, not all HEIs count LCVP as meeting eligibility requirements in regard to
passing subjects. Applicants should refer to HEI literature for full details.
POINTS CALCULATION FOR OTHER EXAMINATIONS
For information about how points are calculated for QQI FET/FETAC qualifications, GCE Examinations (England,
Wales and Northern Ireland) and guideline entry requirements for EU/EFTA please visit the Student Resources
section of the CAO website www.cao.ie.
19
DEFERRING A PLACE
If you wish to defer an offer of a place you do not accept your offer. Instead, you must email or write to the
Admissions Office of the appropriate HEI immediately. You must give your name as it appears on your CAO
application, quote your CAO application number and the course code of the offer you wish to defer, and set out
the reason(s) for the request. Applicants must mark “DEFERRED ENTRY” clearly on the envelope or in the
subject line of the email. You can also check the website of the relevant HEI to see if they have a deferral policy
available online that you can refer to.
The letter or email must arrive in the Admissions Office of the institution at least two days before the reply date
shown on the Offer Notice. The HEI will communicate their decision to you directly. If the deferral is not granted
you may then accept the offer for the current year providing you accept the offer by the reply date.
You must send all communications about deferrals to the appropriate Admissions Office and not to CAO.
TAKING UP A DEFERRAL
In order to take up a deferred place you must:
1. Re-apply through CAO in the succeeding year and pay the appropriate application fee. You must complete
the application form in full and follow all of the instructions carefully;
2. Place the deferred course as your first and only preference on the application form;
3. Indicate your deferral by ticking the deferred place indicator box on your application.
It is important to read the letter granting you the deferred place for further instructions. You will breach the
conditions of your deferred place if you enter more than the single deferred course code on your application. In
that event, you will forfeit the guaranteed place and enter the competition for places in the normal way.
When reapplying in the succeeding year, you must complete an application fully. In other words you must
include again any personal information and documentation, etc., which you provided with the original
application (unless instructed otherwise by the institution offering the place).
AVAILABLE PLACES
Available places are places that remain unfilled in particular courses after all offers have been made and waiting
lists have been exhausted. When considering applying for Available Places courses, applicants should ignore
previously published points in earlier offer rounds. Applicants must, however, check that they meet the normal
minimum entry requirements for the course(s) in question.
Available Places courses are advertised on the CAO website for part of July and after Round One offers are
issued in August – go to www.cao.ie and click on the Available Places tab. This facility is open to new and existing
applicants. For more information on the Available Places facility visit the CAO website www.cao.ie.
THE LEAVING CERTIFICATE RECHECK PROCESS
If you have requested to appeal some of your Leaving Certificate examinations, and if your results are upgraded
on appeal, your position on the Order of Merit list will be altered to reflect your new points score.
If you are deemed entitled to a place on a course based on your upgraded Leaving Certificate results, you will
receive an offer – if all of the places for that course have already been allocated, you will receive a deferral of the
offer for the following academic year. The decision to offer a place is made by the HEI in question and not the
CAO.
20
REGISTRATION ON YOUR ACCEPTED COURSE
An applicant to CAO, having been offered a place and accepted it, only becomes a student of the HEI once they
have completed the HEI’s registration process.
APPLICATIONS TO BE MADE DIRECT TO HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
(A) General:
In general, you should apply direct to the appropriate HEI (and NOT through CAO) in the following cases:
1. Any course not mentioned in this handbook.
2. Entry to courses at post-initial-year level. You must ask HEI Admissions Offices about application
procedures.
3. Short duration, one-term, part-time and occasional courses. See Section C below.
4. Re-admission to Mary Immaculate College, Trinity College and University of Limerick.
5. Follow-on courses at the Institutes of Technology. You must ask HEI Admissions Offices about
application procedures.
6. Certain mature applicants - see www.cao.ie/mature and Section D below for information about mature
applicants.
7. Postgraduate courses.
(B) Residence outside the EU: (past or present)
If you have at any time resided, or are at present resident, outside the EU, then you may be required to apply
direct to some HEIs.
You must contact the Admissions Office of each HEI in which you are interested to enquire whether you should
apply through CAO or direct to the HEI. Different HEIs may have different policies. You should make such
enquiries well in advance of the closing date of 1st February 2017 at 5:15pm. You may be able to view HEI policies
on HEI websites. Failure to check the proper application procedure may have serious implications.
(C) Evening and part-time courses:
Most part-time and evening courses are not offered through the CAO application system and direct application
must be made for them. The HEIs offer a wide variety of such courses and, if you are interested in these modes
of study, you should make enquiries direct to the HEIs.
(D) Mature applicants:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Certain restrictions may apply in the case of mature applicants.
Normally mature applicants should be 23-years-old on or before 1st January 2017 for admission in
Autumn 2017 and must apply by 1st February 2017 at 5:15pm. However, some HEIs may have a different
age requirement, different definitions of mature applicants, etc., and some will consider applications
received after 1st February 2017, but not for mature entry to nursing/midwifery (see page 11) and/or
mature entry to primary teaching.
Before applying you should refer to www.cao.ie/mature and view the information for mature applicants
on HEI websites. In particular, you should note HEI requirements for the provision of supplementary
application information. If you have any questions, you must contact the Admissions Office or mature
students officer of the appropriate HEIs well in advance of closing dates.
If you are applying for entry to nursing/midwifery and/or primary teaching on the basis of mature years
you must apply for these courses through CAO by 1st February 2017 at 5:15pm.
For more information on direct applications for mature applicants go to www.cao.ie/mature.
21
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Applications for admission in Autumn 2017 will be processed in accordance with the regulations, procedures and
timetable described in the CAO Handbook 2017 (‘the Handbook’), in the CAO Application Form 2017 (‘the Form’)
and in the other documents mentioned in the handbook. Other such regulations and procedures in relation to
online application, Change of Mind and acceptance of offers will appear on the CAO website.
The intention is to provide fair and equal treatment for all applicants and to minimise expense for the applicantbody as a whole. CAO is purely an administrative facility and does not endorse or recommend any course. It is
your responsibility to determine the status and the suitability of any course chosen. It is important to remember
that this handbook does not in any way remove the fundamental need for you to consult the appropriate HEI
literature or HEI website. Only the official HEI material will give you the essential information about the content
of courses, minimum entry requirements, course duration, career prospects, etc.
CAO is agent for the HEIs participating in the application system. These bodies agree annually the application
regulations, procedures and timetable. CAO has no discretion to set them aside so as either to afford special
treatment to any applicant over another or to deprive any applicant of their entitlement in favour of another.
Any attempt by an applicant or by any person(s) acting on the applicant’s instigation, directly or indirectly by
means of written communication or otherwise, to canvass or otherwise influence in the applicant’s favour, may
disqualify the applicant from the competition.
WARNING: The HEIs participating in the CAO system reserve the right not to consider applications and to
cancel any offers of places in cases where requested information has not been provided or where falsified or
misleading information has been supplied. A HEI may require sight of your original documentation before
registration can be finalised.
Applications will be assessed on the basis of the information supplied.
Neither CAO nor the HEIs will accept any responsibility for any loss or hardship arising from failure to supply
correct and complete information at the appropriate time.
INDEPENDENT APPEALS COMMISSION
CAO: The CAO has an Independent Appeals Commission to which recourse may be had by applicants who
believe that they have been treated unfairly by CAO, and whose complaints have not been resolved by CAO.
The function of the Appeals Commission is to ensure that the rules are applied fairly. The Appeals Commission
cannot set the rules aside for applicants who appeal for special treatment.
Appeals should be addressed to: The Secretary, CAO Independent Appeals Commission, c/o Tower House,
Eglinton Street, Galway, Ireland.
DARE/HEAR: The DARE/HEAR Independent Appeals Commission (DHIAC) reviews appeals from applicants
who have made a valid application to DARE and/or HEAR. The function of the DHIAC is to ensure that the
assessment of a DARE/HEAR application has been fair, published eligibility criteria have been applied and terms
and conditions followed. Appeals relating to 1st March and 1st April DARE and HEAR application deadline, i.e.
appeals relating to making a valid application, should be directed to CAO.
Appeals to the DHIAC should be addressed to: The Secretary, DARE/HEAR Independent Appeals Commission,
c/o CAO Tower House, Eglinton Street, Galway, Ireland. Further information on the DHIAC is available on
www.accesscollege.ie.
22
Appeals must be made in writing, be signed by the applicant and must describe the alleged unfair treatment.
Appropriate supporting documentation should accompany the appeal. There is no charge for this service. If you
are not satisfied with the outcome of your appeal, you may make a further appeal to the Office of the
Ombudsman.

Note 1:
Applicants for TR001 (Level 8 - Two-subject Moderatorship) must NOT enter TR001 on the Application Form.
Instead, they should enter the letters TR followed by a Subject-Option Code taken from the grid below to indicate a choice
of a combination of two subjects. For example, TR259 indicates an application for English Literature/German.
The entry on the Application Form, therefore, would be TR259 as the Course Code.
The absence of a Code in a grid position means that the corresponding combination of subjects is not permitted.
The Two-subject Moderatorship course may appear more than once in an application provided different subjectcombinations are mentioned

Before Applying
Online Applicant Checklist
I have read the CAO handbook.

I have researched the courses that I am interested in applying for.
I am familiar with the minimum entry requirements for each course and any restrictions that apply.
The Application
I have obtained the online receipt of my application and have printed it off for future reference.
I have checked the email sent to me by CAO on receipt of my online application for any errors or omissions.
I have checked the email sent to me by CAO after entering my course choices to make sure that all of my courses
are correct and in my order of preference.
I have included all examination details, including current year exams, and have checked that they are correct.
I have checked any subsequent correspondence received from CAO.
For applicants who must send supporting documents as part of their application:
I have read the Qualifications and Assessments section that is relevant to me (pages 5-8) and page 12 of the CAO
handbook which provides instructions for submitting supporting documents to CAO.
I intend to get a Certificate of Posting when I post the envelope containing my supporting documents to CAO.
After the Normal Application Closing Date
I have received my Statement of Application Record (posted to all applicants before the end of May).
I have notified CAO of any errors or omissions contained in my Statement of Application Record within 7 days of
receiving the Statement.
I have submitted my changes, if any, to CAO via the Change of Mind facility before 1st July at 5:15pm.
I have taken note of any restrictions to the introduction of courses after the 1st February deadline.
The Offer Rounds
I have checked my email account and the My Application facility to find out if I have received an offer.
I have received my Offer Notice OR another Statement of Application Record and checked for any errors or
omissions contained in either document.
If accepting an offer: I have accepted my offer online via the My Application facility by the reply date OR I have
returned the Offer Acceptance by post to reach CAO by the reply date.
I have not accepted both.
If no offer was received: I have checked the second Statement of Application Record to make sure that the details
held on file for me by CAO are correct and I have notified CAO immediately of any errors or omissions contained in
the Statement of Application Record.

replace the CAO handbook. The CAO handbook must be read carefully by all applicants before making an application through
