If you receive two offers at the same time you may only accept one of them

Any offer not accepted by the closing date for receipt of acceptance of offers in CAO will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 32
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
We will look just at Level 8 courses but exactly the same process will take place with Level 76 courses and at the same time
The importance of you the applicant placing courses in genuine order of preference will become apparent in the following slides
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 33
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
When examination results are released in August they are entered into the CAO computer
The computer checks each applicantrsquos results For each course the applicant has applied for the computer first determines if the applicant has the minimum entry requirements for the course
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 34
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
If the applicant meets the minimum entry requirements for the course the applicantrsquos points are calculated for this course choice
All eligible applicants are then placed in a list in order of academic merit for each course that they applied for
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 35
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
The admissions officers of the Higher Education Institutions tell CAO how many places are to be offered on each course
CAO then makes offers to the required number of applicants on each course starting with the applicant with the highest points and working down until enough places have been offered
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 36
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
Should some applicants decline to accept their offers these places become available in the next round of offers They will be offered to the next applicants on the order of merit list
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 37
These are the applicants for CK101 Arts in UCC
The examination results have not yet been released so these applicants are in no particular order We are going to trace the progress of the applicant marked in red
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 38
Applicants are placed in a queue for each course they applied for their position in the queue is determined by their points The applicant with the highest points is placed at the top of the queue The points achieved by the applicant in red determines his position in the queue for each course he applied to
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 39
The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 40
The applicant in red is offered his second preference the highest preference course that he has enough points for and he will now disappear from the queue in all his lower choices Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 41
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 42
In the third round of offers two more offers are made on CK101 and our applicant who was at the top of the queue now receives an offer
He may do nothing and remain in DN201 or he may accept the offer and begin in CK101
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 43
Genuine Order of Preference
bull You do not need to guess what the points are going to be for the courses you are interested in
bull Simply list your courses in genuine order of preference from the highest preference 1 to the lowest preference 10
bull If you are entitled to an offer you will be offered the highest preference that you are entitled to

How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
When examination results are released in August they are entered into the CAO computer
The computer checks each applicantrsquos results For each course the applicant has applied for the computer first determines if the applicant has the minimum entry requirements for the course
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 34
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
If the applicant meets the minimum entry requirements for the course the applicantrsquos points are calculated for this course choice
All eligible applicants are then placed in a list in order of academic merit for each course that they applied for
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 35
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
The admissions officers of the Higher Education Institutions tell CAO how many places are to be offered on each course
CAO then makes offers to the required number of applicants on each course starting with the applicant with the highest points and working down until enough places have been offered
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 36
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
Should some applicants decline to accept their offers these places become available in the next round of offers They will be offered to the next applicants on the order of merit list
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 37
These are the applicants for CK101 Arts in UCC
The examination results have not yet been released so these applicants are in no particular order We are going to trace the progress of the applicant marked in red
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 38
Applicants are placed in a queue for each course they applied for their position in the queue is determined by their points The applicant with the highest points is placed at the top of the queue The points achieved by the applicant in red determines his position in the queue for each course he applied to
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 39
The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 40
The applicant in red is offered his second preference the highest preference course that he has enough points for and he will now disappear from the queue in all his lower choices Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 41
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 42
In the third round of offers two more offers are made on CK101 and our applicant who was at the top of the queue now receives an offer
He may do nothing and remain in DN201 or he may accept the offer and begin in CK101
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 43
Genuine Order of Preference
bull You do not need to guess what the points are going to be for the courses you are interested in

Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue

How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
When examination results are released in August they are entered into the CAO computer
The computer checks each applicantrsquos results For each course the applicant has applied for the computer first determines if the applicant has the minimum entry requirements for the course
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 34
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
If the applicant meets the minimum entry requirements for the course the applicantrsquos points are calculated for this course choice
All eligible applicants are then placed in a list in order of academic merit for each course that they applied for
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 35
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
The admissions officers of the Higher Education Institutions tell CAO how many places are to be offered on each course
CAO then makes offers to the required number of applicants on each course starting with the applicant with the highest points and working down until enough places have been offered
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 36
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
Should some applicants decline to accept their offers these places become available in the next round of offers They will be offered to the next applicants on the order of merit list
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 37
These are the applicants for CK101 Arts in UCC
The examination results have not yet been released so these applicants are in no particular order We are going to trace the progress of the applicant marked in red
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 38
Applicants are placed in a queue for each course they applied for their position in the queue is determined by their points The applicant with the highest points is placed at the top of the queue The points achieved by the applicant in red determines his position in the queue for each course he applied to
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 39
The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 40
The applicant in red is offered his second preference the highest preference course that he has enough points for and he will now disappear from the queue in all his lower choices Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 41
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 42
In the third round of offers two more offers are made on CK101 and our applicant who was at the top of the queue now receives an offer
He may do nothing and remain in DN201 or he may accept the offer and begin in CK101
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 43
Genuine Order of Preference
bull You do not need to guess what the points are going to be for the courses you are interested in
bull Simply list your courses in genuine order of preference from the highest preference 1 to the lowest preference 10

The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 40
The applicant in red is offered his second preference the highest preference course that he has enough points for and he will now disappear from the queue in all his lower choices Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 41
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue

The computer checks each applicantrsquos results For each course the applicant has applied for the computer first determines if the applicant has the minimum entry requirements for the course
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 34
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
If the applicant meets the minimum entry requirements for the course the applicantrsquos points are calculated for this course choice
All eligible applicants are then placed in a list in order of academic merit for each course that they applied for
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 35
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
The admissions officers of the Higher Education Institutions tell CAO how many places are to be offered on each course
CAO then makes offers to the required number of applicants on each course starting with the applicant with the highest points and working down until enough places have been offered
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 36

How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
We will look just at Level 8 courses but exactly the same process will take place with Level 76 courses and at the same time
The importance of you the applicant placing courses in genuine order of preference will become apparent in the following slides
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 33
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
When examination results are released in August they are entered into the CAO computer
The computer checks each applicantrsquos results For each course the applicant has applied for the computer first determines if the applicant has the minimum entry requirements for the course
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 34
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
If the applicant meets the minimum entry requirements for the course the applicantrsquos points are calculated for this course choice
All eligible applicants are then placed in a list in order of academic merit for each course that they applied for
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 35
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
The admissions officers of the Higher Education Institutions tell CAO how many places are to be offered on each course
CAO then makes offers to the required number of applicants on each course starting with the applicant with the highest points and working down until enough places have been offered
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 36
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
Should some applicants decline to accept their offers these places become available in the next round of offers They will be offered to the next applicants on the order of merit list
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 37
These are the applicants for CK101 Arts in UCC
The examination results have not yet been released so these applicants are in no particular order We are going to trace the progress of the applicant marked in red
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 38
Applicants are placed in a queue for each course they applied for their position in the queue is determined by their points The applicant with the highest points is placed at the top of the queue The points achieved by the applicant in red determines his position in the queue for each course he applied to
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 39
The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 40
The applicant in red is offered his second preference the highest preference course that he has enough points for and he will now disappear from the queue in all his lower choices Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 41
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 42
In the third round of offers two more offers are made on CK101 and our applicant who was at the top of the queue now receives an offer
He may do nothing and remain in DN201 or he may accept the offer and begin in CK101
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 43

301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 33
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
When examination results are released in August they are entered into the CAO computer
The computer checks each applicantrsquos results For each course the applicant has applied for the computer first determines if the applicant has the minimum entry requirements for the course
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 34
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
If the applicant meets the minimum entry requirements for the course the applicantrsquos points are calculated for this course choice
All eligible applicants are then placed in a list in order of academic merit for each course that they applied for
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 35
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
The admissions officers of the Higher Education Institutions tell CAO how many places are to be offered on each course
CAO then makes offers to the required number of applicants on each course starting with the applicant with the highest points and working down until enough places have been offered
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 36
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
Should some applicants decline to accept their offers these places become available in the next round of offers They will be offered to the next applicants on the order of merit list
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 37
These are the applicants for CK101 Arts in UCC
The examination results have not yet been released so these applicants are in no particular order We are going to trace the progress of the applicant marked in red
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 38
Applicants are placed in a queue for each course they applied for their position in the queue is determined by their points The applicant with the highest points is placed at the top of the queue The points achieved by the applicant in red determines his position in the queue for each course he applied to
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 39
The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 40
The applicant in red is offered his second preference the highest preference course that he has enough points for and he will now disappear from the queue in all his lower choices Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 41
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 42
In the third round of offers two more offers are made on CK101 and our applicant who was at the top of the queue now receives an offer
He may do nothing and remain in DN201 or he may accept the offer and begin in CK101

All eligible applicants are then placed in a list in order of academic merit for each course that they applied for
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 35
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
The admissions officers of the Higher Education Institutions tell CAO how many places are to be offered on each course
CAO then makes offers to the required number of applicants on each course starting with the applicant with the highest points and working down until enough places have been offered

Should some applicants decline to accept their offers these places become available in the next round of offers They will be offered to the next applicants on the order of merit list

These are the applicants for CK101 Arts in UCC
The examination results have not yet been released so these applicants are in no particular order We are going to trace the progress of the applicant marked in red
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 38
Applicants are placed in a queue for each course they applied for their position in the queue is determined by their points The applicant with the highest points is placed at the top of the queue The points achieved by the applicant in red determines his position in the queue for each course he applied to
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 39
The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 40
The applicant in red is offered his second preference the highest preference course that he has enough points for and he will now disappear from the queue in all his lower choices Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 41
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 42
In the third round of offers two more offers are made on CK101 and our applicant who was at the top of the queue now receives an offer
He may do nothing and remain in DN201 or he may accept the offer and begin in CK101
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 43

The computer checks each applicantrsquos results For each course the applicant has applied for the computer first determines if the applicant has the minimum entry requirements for the course
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 34
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated

All eligible applicants are then placed in a list in order of academic merit for each course that they applied for
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 35
How Places are AllocatedHow Places are Allocated
The admissions officers of the Higher Education Institutions tell CAO how many places are to be offered on each course
CAO then makes offers to the required number of applicants on each course starting with the applicant with the highest points and working down until enough places have been offered
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 36

These are the applicants for CK101 Arts in UCC
The examination results have not yet been released so these applicants are in no particular order We are going to trace the progress of the applicant marked in red
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 38
Applicants are placed in a queue for each course they applied for their position in the queue is determined by their points The applicant with the highest points is placed at the top of the queue The points achieved by the applicant in red determines his position in the queue for each course he applied to
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 39
The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 40
The applicant in red is offered his second preference the highest preference course that he has enough points for and he will now disappear from the queue in all his lower choices Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first preference
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 41
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do nothing If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in the next round of offers
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his first preference if a place becomes available In the second round one more offer was made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue
301109 MsGeraldine Mulvey 42
In the third round of offers two more offers are made on CK101 and our applicant who was at the top of the queue now receives an offer
