How do I inform CAO of my exemptions from Minimum Entry Requirements (granted in current or a prior year)?

Exemption granted this year

NUI exemption: CAO expect to receive notification of exemptions directly from NUI beginning in February. If your exemption is still not appearing on your online application by the end of February or more than one month after it was granted, please contact NUI at exemptions@nui.ie.

TCD exemption/waiver: CAO expect to receive electronic notification of TCD exemptions/waivers directly from TCD. When CAO are notified of an exemption/waiver, the applicant's account will be updated, and the exemption/waiver will appear under the Qualification and Assessment section of your application. If your exemption/waiver is still not appearing on your online application by the end of June, please contact the Admissions Office at TCD for guidance.

University of Limerick/Mary Immaculate College exemption: CAO do not record exemptions that have been granted by University of Limerick or Mary Immaculate College. These exemptions will not appear on your CAO application.

Exemption granted in a prior year

NUI exemption from a prior year: You must contact NUI directly (exemptions@nui.ie) to advise them that you are re-applying to CAO. They will need your new CAO application number.

TCD exemption/waiver from a prior year: If you have a copy of the letter granting your TCD exemption/waiver please post this to us. If you no longer have a copy of this letter then you will be required to contact TCD directly to advise them that you are re-applying to CAO and require further evidence of your exemption.

University of Limerick/Mary Immaculate College exemption from a prior year: CAO do not record exemptions that have been granted by University of Limerick or Mary Immaculate College. These exemptions will not appear on your CAO application. You should contact these HEIs directly for guidance.
