Higher education institutions are autonomous with regard to management of their academic affairs including admissions procedures. The CAO process applications on behalf of the HEIs.
As such, neither I nor my Department have any role in relation to the operation of the CAO. A timetable of key dates can be found on the CAO website www.cao.ie and queries on these dates should be sent directly to the CAO.
In relation to the issuing of CAO offers this year, this will be dependent on the issuing of calculated grades. The plan is that calculated grades will be provided to candidates as close as possible to the normal results day, and therefore CAO results dates will also adhere as closely as possible to the normal timeframes. Applicants will be notified as soon as a revised schedule has been agreed.
