✔️Important CAO Updates May 15th for Students.

CAO will send a Statement of Application Record email to all applicants who applied to CAO by the 1 February 2020.

Usually at this time CAO write with some updates for the coming months, highlighting in particular the Statement of Application Record, the Change of Mind Process, the Offers and Acceptances Schedule, and the Important Changes to the CAO Handbook. This year, due to COVID 19 this mailing is not possible. Instead, you can find this updated information below:

1. Statement of Application Record – Changes

CAO will not be in a position to send a postal Statement of Application Record to applicants. Today (15 May) we will send email correspondence to all applicants who applied to CAO by the 1 February this year. This email is referred to as the Statement of Application Record email, and it replaces the traditional postal document which applicants would normally receive this month. Applicants who applied using the late application facility will receive an email later this month.

The email instructs applicants to log in to their CAO account to verify that all of their personal details, examination information, supporting documents, course choices and exemptions (if any) are recorded correctly on their accounts.

If there are errors or omissions, applicants are given the opportunity to rectify this information (for no charge) via their online CAO Account (as opposed to writing the changes on the paper Statement of Application Record and returning it to CAO, as was the common practice in the past). Examination updates made before the end of May will be updated to applicant accounts in early June.

Click here for more information on the Statement of Application Record email.

We have worked on putting together a number of online tools to make the process of checking and updating account information as straight-forward as possible. With the exception of sending supporting documents (if required) all of the changes can be carried out online via the My Application section of the applicant’s account – applicants will simply log in to their CAO Account and click on the relevant buttons in the Qualifications and Assessments section and supply the necessary information.

In the ‘Information for Schools’ section of the CAO Website, you will find a dedicated link for the Statement of Application Record which will contain the following:

A link to the instructions page for applicants.
A video guide explaining the process of checking and updating applicant accounts, including a screenshot of a sample applicant’s account to assist you in guiding your students.
A link to the Important Changes to the 2020 CAO Handbook.

2. Change of Mind and Changes to 2020 Handbook

The CAO Change of Mind facility opened on Tuesday, 5 May. Applicants may add, remove or change the order of their courses as many times as they like up to the 1 July at 5:15pm.

Applicants are also urged to read the ‘Changes to the 2020 Handbook’ document (available from the Downloads section of www.cao.ie) for information on new courses, cancelled courses, title changes and miscellaneous changes. This document would normally be posted with the Statement of Application Record.

As always, we ask that you encourage your students to list their courses in genuine order of preference, and not based on assumptions about points or examination results.

Explore CAO Courses on the CourseFinder here.

3. Offers and Acceptances

Over the coming weeks, CAO will hold discussions with the State Examinations Commission about the expected revised timeline for the provision of Leaving Certificate grades. Following on from this, CAO and HEIs will discuss the impact this change will have on the existing offers and acceptances schedules. We will be updating our website and notifying applicants as soon as a revised schedule has been agreed by CAO and HEIs

Attention Leaving Cert Students!

Common Questions about CAO Applications.

FAQs for students on the CAO process

CareersPortal

Common Questions about CAO Applications.

Have you received your Statement of Application Record?

CAO is sending an email today (15 May) to all CAO applicants who applied by the 1 February this year. They will not be posting it like they have done previous years.

Any applicants who applied using the late application facility will receive an email later this month as well.

What do I need to do?

You need to log in to your CAO account to review all your personal details, examination information, supporting documents, course choices and exemptions (if any).

If there are any errors you can change this information (for no charge) via your online CAO Account (not by writing/post). Go to My Application section, and Qualifications and Assessments to make changes.

See more information about your CAO Statement of Application record here.

What if I have supporting documents to send?

Supporting documents (if required) can still be posted.

Any documents you sent up to 25th March have been scanned and added to your CAO account (see ‘View Supporting Documents’ in ‘My Account’).

If your documents arrived after the 25th of March, you will be able to view your supporting documents at a later date (you must check that all supporting documents are uploaded by the 30th June).

Can I still change my course choices?

The CAO Change of Mind facility is open and you can add, remove or change the order of your courses as many times as you like up to the 1 July at 5:15pm.

Just remember to list your courses by genuine preference and read more about Change of Mind here and see our 6 tips for using the CAO change of mind facility here

Is my course still going ahead?

Every year, there are a number of changes to the CAO courses on offer. If you think that your preferred course has been cancelled or changed, see here for a full list of all new courses, cancelled courses, title changes and miscellaneous changes.

When will I receive my Leaving Cert grades and CAO offers?

The timeline for the Leaving Certificate grades and for the CAO offers will be revised in the coming weeks and we will confirm the exact dates as soon as more information becomes available from the CAO.

Use the CourseFinder Tool to search all CAO courses on offer and check Leaving Cert entry requirements and points from previous years.

Best of luck with your application!
