offers for mature students

madcharlie

Hi , i have applied to DIT to start a degree course in September.
I was just wondering when the offers come out. I was looking on the DIT website and it says offers come out start July for some non-traditional applicants . ..... Can anyone help me out ??

I got my offer on the 9th of May.
Frustrating waiting for the offer come through the CAO in the mean time.
Now just need to sort out back to education and wait for registration form.

Hey guys ..... was expecting an offer this morning, checked the CAO website. It just said the ususal "....currently no offers...." ! ... I applied as a mature student, went for my interview in May and have an e-mail from the head of the course telling me he "recommended me for entry with CAO, who would offer me an offer in due course" .
Its been about 10 years since I sat my leaving but I would have the relevant points for the course .... unless it goes up 50 points from last year . .... I just thought I would have got an offer this mornng. I suppose what I want to know is there any other mature students like me that didn't recieve their offers yet either?? ..... Should I be worried ??? cheers

i was expecting an offer this morning too. i didn't have a recommendation from a previous interview or anything but i was still expecting offers today.

nothing, just "there are no offers available to you at this time".

i'm trying to move on from a fetac level 5 to level 7 and have more than covered the entry requirements. very very disheartened.
