Rectify your data

You can request in writing to the CAO to rectify any incorrect data which CAO holds on file for you. Please note: for current year applicants, you can change most of your personal details using the My Application facility, with the exception of your name and/or date of birth. If you are a current year applicant and you need to change your name and/or date of birth, please use the Contact form.

Where the personal data is provided by you directly - and not being directly used for assessment of the application - the CAO will correct any inaccurate data and make this available to the HEI.

Where the personal data provided by you is being directly used for assessment of the application, it may not be possible to take account of amendments to data for assessment purposes if provided after a deadline for submission of the data. This is to ensure that the application process for all applicants is run in an efficient and fair manner.

Where the personal data is that provided by a third party such as, for example, the State Examinations Commission, this data must, for validation purposes, be amended by the third party and subsequently transferred to the CAO by the third party.

Where the personal data is based on calculations, such as a score by the HEI, this data for validation purposes can only be amended by the HEI and subsequently transferred to the CAO by the HEI.
