Statement of Application Record:
1.
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 accurately.
2.
If you have not received the Statement by 1st June,
you must write to CAO immediately. Failure to do
so may have very serious consequences.
Change of Mind in respect of Course Choices
(Closing date 5:15 pm 1st July 2010):
After 1st May you may, if you wish, register a change of
course choices online at www.cao.ie. Alternatively, you
may do so by using the Change of Mind Form which will
be posted to all applicants with the Statement of
Application Record in May.
There is no fee for using the Change of Mind facility.
If you submit a Change of Mind, it will be acknowledged
by the issue of a further Statement of Course Choices.
You should keep a photocopy of your Change of Mind
Form and obtain a Certificate of Postage.
If you have not received your amended Statement of
Course Choices by July 7th, you must write to CAO
immediately enclosing a copy of your Change of Mind
Form and a copy of your Certificate of Postage.
If you change courses online, and have supplied an email
address, an acknowledgement will be sent to that email
address. Please check that your courses have been updated
by using the ‘My Application’ facility before 5:15 pm on
July 1st .
Subject to the exceptions and restrictions mentioned
below, you may change course choices (free of charge) as
often as you wish, up to 5:15 pm on the 1st July 2010.
If you submit a Change of Mind, it cancels and supersedes
all the previous course choices in any category in which
changes are made. However, choices in the two categories
(Level 8 and Level 7/6) are considered to be completely
separate from each other for this purpose, e.g. a change of
Level 8 course choices will not affect Level 7/6 course
choices.
Restricted-Application Courses which are added for the
first time via a Change of Mind are invalid choices and
will not be considered (see exception on Page 4).
You may NOT enter on a Change of Mind any Mature
Applicant Course Codes for nursing/midwifery, unless at
least one such Mature Course Code appeared on the
original application and you have taken the test/interview
in 2010.
Change of Mind (Continued):
In addition, individual admitting HEIs may impose
restrictions on Change of Mind by certain categories of
applicant. These are generally the same as for Late
Applications. In particular, mature applicants, transfer
applicants and those presenting examinations /
qualifications other than Irish Leaving Certificate,
FETAC Level 5/6, Northern Ireland or British GCEs
should make enquiries from individual Admissions Offices
before introducing new course choices after 1st February
2010.
If you wish to delete ALL of your course choices in a
particular category, you must contact CAO in writing.
Change of Mind (Exception to Timetable):
Exceptional Closing Date : 5:15 pm 22nd July 2010.
Subject to the exclusions below, and subject to the usual
conditions for Change of Mind, if you are currently an
undergraduate student in any year in any one of the
HEIs (and entered that HEI through the CAO system),
you may submit a Change of Mind, in paper form only,
to arrive in CAO not later than 5:15 pm on 22nd July 2010.
The Change of Mind Form must be stamped by the
Admissions Office of the HEI where you are a student.
(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. That
Admissions Office will inform you whether you may
submit a Change of Mind.)
Exclusions:
(a)
Such a Change of Mind may be made only for entry
to a course (or courses) other than your existing
course. If you wish to repeat the year in the same
course, you must arrange this within your HEI and it
is not a matter for application through CAO.
(b)
NUI Galway, University College Cork and
University College Dublin will accept such a
Change of Mind only from a person who is currently
a first-year student in that University and competing
on the basis of school leaving examinations only.
(c)
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.
(d)
However, if you are a student in another HEI and
you wish to apply to any of the three HEIs in (c)
above, you should submit your paper Change of
Mind to CAO.
