First round of college offers set to be issued on September 8

Eileen Keleghan, head of communications with the CAO, said: “The processing schedule for Round One offers cannot commence until CAO receives the Leaving Certificate examination results data from the State Examinations Commission."

The first round of college offers is expected to be issued to students this year on Thursday, September 8, the Central Applications Office (CAO) has announced. 

It comes after the State Examinations Commission (SEC) announced yesterday that Leaving Cert results are expected to issue to students on Friday, September 2 this year. Leaving Cert results are typically issued in mid-August with the first round of college offers issued a few days later.
