๐ CAO OFFERS โ HOW DOES IT WORK?
CAO offers are coming up, so hereโs a quick guide for students and parents on what to expect! ๐
๐
CAO Round 1 Offers
If you receive a CAO offer, you will be able to see it through your CAO account. You should also receive an email/text notification.
โ
You can accept an offer online through your CAO account.
โฐ Make sure you accept by the deadline stated on your offer โ donโt leave it until the last minute!
๐ค What if I get more than one offer?
You can receive only ONE offer from the Level 8 list and ONE offer from the Level 7/6 list in a particular round.
If you receive offers on both lists, you can accept one offer from either list โ you cannot accept both.
๐ What if I donโt get my first choice?
Donโt panic! Your CAO choices are considered in the order you listed them.
You will receive the highest preference course for which you meet the requirements and points.
For example:
1๏ธโฃ Course A โ 1st choice
2๏ธโฃ Course B โ 2nd choice
3๏ธโฃ Course C โ 3rd choice
If you donโt get Course A but qualify for Course B, you may receive an offer for Course B.
๐ What about Round 2?
If places become available after Round 1, further offers may be made in Round 2 and subsequent rounds.
If you receive an offer in a later round, you can accept it even if you previously accepted an offer from an earlier round. Your new offer will replace your previous accepted offer.
โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT!
๐น Check your CAO account regularly
๐น Read your offer carefully
๐น Check the acceptance deadline
๐น Accept your offer online before the deadline
๐น Remember that accepting an offer does not prevent you from receiving a higher preference in a later round
๐ Most importantly โ donโt panic if you donโt get the offer you were hoping for in Round 1. There can be movement in later rounds, and there are other routes and options available.
Best of luck to all students receiving their results and CAO offers! ๐๐
