HEAR is a college and university admissions scheme offering places on reduced points and extra college support to school leavers from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Admissions under the HEAR scheme are regulated by the institutions themselves and not by my Department. Each institution determines its own admissions policy in relation to the scheme, the number of places they reserve and the allocation of those places.
As the HEAR scheme is operated by the Central Applications Office (CAO) (www.cao.ie), appeals under the scheme are also directed to the CAO who coordinate the scheme for participating institutions.
