If I accept a lower preference offer, will I still be considered for subsequent offers in later rounds?

Accepting a lower preference offer will not prevent you from receiving additional offers in a later round if a place becomes available and you are deemed eligible.

I have accepted an offer of a lower preference course, what happens if I receive a higher preference offer in a later round?

If you receive a subsequent offer (and you have already accepted an earlier lower preference offer), you can choose to either accept the new offer or ignore the new offer. Accepting the new offer will automatically cancel your earlier acceptance. If you ignore the new offer, your original acceptance will still stand.

If you receive an offer and you choose to accept this offer, you must do so online by the reply date indicated on the Offer email. If you receive an offer from both lists you must choose between them - you can only accept one offer, in any one round, from either the Level 8 or the Level 7/6 list.

I have received my 2nd preference course, but I would prefer my 3rd preference, what can I do? You cannot move down in your order of preference and you cannot now change your order of preference (unless there are available places in one of your desired courses, see the Available Places section of the CAO website).

If you accept your offer online you will receive an acknowledgement email. You can check that your acceptance has been recorded online at www.cao.ie via the My Application facility.

You can accept your current offer and you will still be considered for your higher preference courses in later offer rounds (if a place becomes available and you are deemed eligible), but you will not be considered for your third preference course or anything below that.

Available Places are places that remain unfilled in particular courses after all offers have been made and waiting lists have been exhausted. When considering applying for Available Places courses you should ignore previously published points in earlier offer rounds. You must, however, check that you meet the normal minimum entry requirements for the course(s) in question.

I got my first preference course but I want a lower preference course, what can I do? You cannot move down in your order of preference and you cannot now change your order of preference (unless there are available places in one of your desired courses, see the Available Places section of the CAO website www.cao.ie/ap).

Available Places courses are advertised on the CAO website after Round One offers are issued in August – go to www.cao.ie/ap and click on the Available Places tab. This facility is open to new applicants for a fee of €50, and is free for existing applicants. For more information on the Available Places facility visit the CAO website www.cao.ie. Due to time constraints, Available Places applications must be made online.
