Accepting offers… what you need to know.

If I accept my current offer, does this mean I won’t receive any offers in later rounds?
You can accept your current offer and you will still be considered for your higher preference courses in later offer rounds (if a place becomes available and you are deemed eligible). Accepting or not accepting your current offer will not prevent you from receiving subsequent offers of higher preference courses.

I want a course lower in my preferences than my current offer, what can I do?
You cannot move down in your order of preference and you cannot now change your order of preference (unless there are available places in one of your desired courses, see the Available Places video in previous post)

CAO offers are out today. You might get two offers- one from your level 8 list and one from your level 6/7 list. If you don’t receive an offer you will get a Statement of Application from the CAO, check this carefully to ensure the CAO has the right details for you. If you don’t receive an offer it might be because you haven’t responded to emails they have sent you, during the summer, requesting information such as exam number etc. Check the Statement of Application carefully.

Also out today is the Available Places list.
Check out how it works here!

Available Places This is "Available Places" by CAO on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

When viewing scripts, it’s not the opinion of the examiner that you’re viewing, it’s the numbers.
Is there an addition mistake? Was a question unmarked? Did they neglect to correct the “extra/ additional paper”?
You’re looking for a mistake, not what they thought of your photosynthesis answer.
