The Central Applications Office (CAO) online application
facility opens on Tuesday, 5 November from noon.
Applications can be made online for a reduced fee of ?30
before 20 January at 5:15 pm. A fee of ?45 applies after this time and until
the normal closing date of 1 February at 5:15 pm.
To apply to CAO go to www.cao.ie
and click on 'Apply'.
Potential applicants are advised to read the CAO Handbook
and to become familiar with the various guides available in the Student
Resources section of the CAO website, including the demo application facility
and the video guides explaining the application process.
CAO communications officer, Eileen Keleghan, reminds
applicants that they can practice their application in advance: "There is
an online demo application facility available on the CAO website. This facility
can be used by applicants to become more familiar with the application form.
"Once you have read the CAO Handbook you can go to
the CAO website and click on Apply. You must enter your personal details and
you will also be asked to indicate the qualifications and assessments sections
that are relevant to you before making a payment and creating a password. Once
all of these steps have been completed correctly, you will receive an email
containing your CAO application number and a verification code.
"When you have registered, you can log in to your
CAO account to provide the additional information required to support your
application and to enter your course choices.
"It is a good idea to enter some course choices at
this stage, however applicants can log in to their account to add, remove or
change the order of their courses as many times as they like up to 1 February
for no extra charge.
"There is no reason to delay registering with CAO.
You should obtain your application number and submit any additional information
required of you before the 1 February at 5:15pm", added Ms Keleghan.
