Donโt Miss This Step: Your CAO Statement of Application Email Is Coming
If you applied to the CAO this year, thereโs a very important email heading your way in May โ and you need to take action as soon as you get it.
Itโs called the Statement of Application Record, and itโs your chance to check that everything on your CAO application is 100% correct.
Itโs an email from the CAO asking you to log into your account and double-check all your application details. This includes:
โ
Your personal details (name, date of birth, etc.)
โ
Your exam info (Leaving Cert results, exemptions, etc.)
โ
Your course choices (Level 8 and Level 7/6)
Because if anything is wrong and you donโt fix it now, it could cause serious problems later โ including the possibility of not being offered your place in college.
This is your final chance to spot and correct any errors before offers are made in the summer.
Once you get the Statement of Application email:
Log in to your CAO account immediately.
Carefully check all your information.
If thereโs anything missing or incorrect, contact CAO straight away.
Once youโve checked everything, make sure to click the โConfirmโ button at the bottom of your CAO homepage.
Yes! Clicking โConfirmโ just means you’ve checked your personal and exam details โ you can still change your course choices through the Change of Mind facility up until July 1st at 5pm.
If the only thing missing is your summer exam grades, go ahead and click โConfirmโ anyway โ just remember to send in your certified results as soon as you get them.
This is one of the most important steps in the CAO process โ donโt ignore the email or leave it sitting in your inbox.
Set a reminder, check your junk mail, and make sure your application is in perfect shape. Youโve come this far โ donโt let a small error get in the way of your next big step.
