receive from CAO, a formal acknowledgement in the

absolutely correct. You should use your CAO
Application Number in any subsequent
correspondence.

to arrive by 1st March. An Additional Processing

Reasons to amend your application,
Feb 1st Applicants:
You will need to amend your application details
no later than March 1st, if :
a)
you made an error or omission in Restricted-
Application Courses or ;
b)
you are a mature applicant who made an error or
omission in your courses or have entered your
date of birth incorrectly or ;
c)
you are applying to certain HEIs and presenting
certain qualifications (see Page 4 of this
Handbook).
Since these categories of applicant may be involved
in early tests, it is vital that their courses be
absolutely correct. This procedure enables you to
correct any errors in good time so that you will be
included in the early tests.
Note that you may use this procedure to introduce
courses which you had omitted earlier.
If you are not in the categories mentioned above,
you do not need to correct any course errors at this
stage. You may use the Change of Mind facility (see
Page 19) to make any course changes (except the
introduction of Restricted-Application Courses or
mature applicant course codes for
nursing/midwifery, see Page 4) before 1st July and at
no charge.
