The coming weeks are an important time in the CAO and SUSI application process for our Leaving Certificate students. As many of our Leaving Cert students enter the home stretch of their State Examinations, we encourage all students and parents/guardians to carefully review the upcoming deadlines and ensure that any required actions are completed on time.
Please take note of the following key dates:
23 June 2026
Students who applied to HEAR/DARE will be notified of their application outcome.
1 July 2026 (5:00pm)
The CAO Change of Mind facility closes. Applicants can add, remove or reorder course choices free of charge up until this deadline.
2 July 2026
Closing date for HEAR/DARE Reviews and Appeals.
9 July 2026
Priority closing date for new SUSI grant applications.
Remember:
• You do not need your Leaving Certificate results to apply for SUSI.
• You do not need to have accepted a course offer.
• You can update your course choice online at a later date if necessary.
This applies to students considering further or higher education next year.
