All You Need To Know About CAO Change Of Mind

CAO Change of Mind facility closes on July 1st @ 5.15pm

The CAO Change of Mind facility is open until 5.15pm on Sunday, the 1st July, 2017 and gives applicants the opportunity to review their current choices, make changes if necessary and there is no charge for this facility.

Up to the deadline applicants can add, remove, or re-order course choices. Applicants can add any course to their list even if they did not include it in the application they submitted in February. The only exception to this are restricted entry courses which are clearly marked in the CAO handbook.

Applicants should also take this opportunity to revisit their Level 8 and Level 7/6 lists, and examine carefully both the courses they have applied for and the order in which they have been placed. CAO choices should be based on order of preference only and not on how students think they may have performed during the exams or indeed what they expect the cut-off points to be for the course they have chosen. That will not be known until Monday, August the 20th, the expected date for first round CAO offers to be issued. The golden rule is that courses must always be listed in order of preference.

In order to make changes to their course listing, applicants should log into their account on www.cao.ie using the 'my application' prompt. Here they will be asked for their CAO number, date of birth and password. Applicants can then enter their separate lists:  Level 8 and Level 7/6. A short video guide on the change of mind process is available on www.cao.ie.
