Rechecking Leaving Certificate exam papers
- You can apply for a recheck of any of your Leaving Certificate papers online from Friday 26 August 2006. www.examinations.ie
- You must take the bank giro form, which you received from the State Examinations Commission with your leaving certificate results to the bank and pay €37 for each script, you wish to have rechecked.
- Applications can also be made online with a credit card.
- If you receive an upgrade, which about 20 per cent of applicants do, you will be refunded your money.
Deferring an offer
- If you wish to defer accepting the place offered for a year, you must write immediately to the Admissions Office of the college, setting out your reasons for seeking a deferral.
- You must enclose the relevant part of your offer notice and mark your envelope ‘Deferred Entry’.
- Your letter must arrive in the college at least two days before the reply date on the offer notice.
- Do not send anything to the CAO, but reapply to them by 1 February 2007, placing the deferred course as the only course on your application.
If you have received no offer, your other options are:
Direct entry to new course
- In some cases there are new courses introduced after the CAO handbook was published.
- To find these courses you need to check the college’s websites.
- To apply to these new courses you do so directly to the individual college.
- Course entry requirements are still needed so ensure you have these.
- Some of the courses available so far are International Business & Languages DT558 in Dublin Institute of Technology and Computer Forensics, Pharmaceutical Science, Criminal Justice Studies, Tourism Marketing and Early Childhood Studies in Waterford Institute of Technology.
Vacant offers
- Having offered all eligible applicants places and there are still vacancies on a course, the reaming places will be advertised on the CAO website and updated daily.
- Anybody can apply for a place, whether or not they have already received or accepted an offer, or whether they have already applied through CAO.
- For applicants who are already in the CAO system there is no additional application fee.
- New applicants must pay an application fee.
- In order to be eligible for a vacant place, an applicant must satisfy the minimum entry requirements of the course.
