If you make changes to your courses online,
and have supplied a valid email address, an
acknowledgement will be sent to that email
address – it is extremely important that you
check this email carefully to ensure that all of
your changes have been recorded completely
and correctly.
A Statement of Course Choices is also sent by
post if you make changes to your course
choices – this is to confirm that your new
course choices have been entered into your
CAO account. The revised statement will not
be issued before the 1st June. If it does not
arrive by the 7th July you must contact us
immediately and provide proof of the
submission of the Change of Mind.
It is very important that your course choices
should be absolutely correct. If you are going
to be absent at the time when the revised
statement is due, you must arrange for
someone to check that it arrives and, when it
arrives, that the contents are correct and
accurately reflect your wishes. Make sure to
read page 14 of the CAO handbook and
watch the ‘Change of Mind’ video guide on
the CAO website.

How to make changes
1. Go to www.cao.ie and click on ‘My
Application’. Log in to your account with your
application number, date of birth and the
password that you created at the registration
stage. If you have forgotten your password
click on the ‘Forgotten password’ link to reset.
If you experience problems accessing your
account, email your issue to CAO via the
‘Contact’ facility at www.cao.ie and provide
your CAO application number.
2. Go to the ‘Change Level 8 Course Choices’
and/or ‘Change Level 7/6 Course Choices’
tabs and enter your courses on the ‘New
Choices’ list.
3. When you have finished entering your
courses on either list, click on ‘Continue with
Course Choices’. Your new courses will appear
on screen and you will also receive an email
to the account that you provided at the
registration stage. Check the information
contained in the email is correct.
