Top Tips for CAO

Choose courses in your genuine order of preference, based on your own career aspirations.
There are many advantages to using the CAO's online application system.
The normal closing date for applications (online or paper) is February 1st 2011 by 5.15pm. After the 1st May 2011 and until the 1st July 2011 you may, if you wish, register a change of course choice. [However, you cannot add a restricted-application course for the first time using the Change of Mind process].
It is imperative that you research your course choices thoroughly. For CIT courses, be sure to consult the Institute's Full Time Handbook Entry 2011 for more information. Please click here to request a Handbook by post.
If you have a disability or specific learning difficulty you are encouraged to indicate this in your application as it will facilitate the Institute in addressing any specific support needs you may have.
You should retain a record of your application information as well as all correspondence with the CAO.
If in doubt, check for clarification with your school guidance counsellor, subject teacher or the Institute itself.
