    Can anyone tell me after I accept a offer during Round A when will I hear from the college I accepted the course at? Will it be soon after I accept the offer or around September?

    The TCD Academic Registry web page gives 20 July as the date for the first Welcome letters to new entrants for the September 2016 intake, which I presume should go to those accepting the 6 July Round A CAO offers. I don't know about other colleges, but I suspect that we should hear from college soon after the deadline for accepting the CAO Round A offers.

    I was meant to received an offer this morning from DCU, approved for a deferred course last year. No offer came this morning, any suggestions on how I should proceed?

    I followed the procedure from the email to the letter.

    Do deferred offers come through CAO? The information I have from CAO mentions "non-standard applications" for Round A, which may include deferrals. If that is the case, Round A offers will appear on the CAO website at 10 am on Wednesday 6 July.

    Your offer should be out Wednesday with the rest of the offers. Did you make sure to fill in the CAO form properly?

    Oh.. I've been in summer mode so long I thought tomorrow was Wednesday, it must be as its with Round A I think?

    Edit: Just double checked and my acceptance letter says Round A offers are out 5th of July (tommorow) is that incorrect?

    As far as I know its the 6th of July at 10pm, it doesn't give the correct date on the cao website it just says early July but I emailed cao and they said 6th of July at 10pm.

    But when I was emailing WIT they said the date they had was the 5th of July but asked me to double check with the cao.

    I'd say it'll be Wednesday if CAO said that date, WIT said the exact same thing to me.

    Well UCD said in their letter 5th of July late afternoon, so UCD and DCU must be getting their info in the same place but if CAO said the 6th then not sure... I really hope it is tomorrow, because I'm going away early morning the 6th so I'll have to make arrangements with someone else to accept it for me...

    Yeah WIT said the same, I'll probably just go by what the CAO said. Be nice to get it tomorrow though.

    I've applied for Software Development in IT Carlow. I rang the admins office yesterday because the CAO website said July 4th! I was told the CAO was processing mature applicaints today, and we'd know tomorrow. So fingers crossed and best of luck to everyone! ;-)

    I have just checked on the CAO site. Logged on to my application and there it was, an offer for my first choice at IT Sligo for software development. So I clicked on accept. Then I received a text message saying course accepted and that i will be contacted by IT Sligo next and that basically that the CAO have finished their job with me.
    Happy days 🎈🎉🎂
