Post CAO: Available Places with Griffith College

griffith college

The 2019 CAO Available Places facility opens Tuesday 20 August. Griffith College Schools Liaison Officer Sinead O’ Callaghan explains the process behind the Available Places Facility;

  • Third level courses have a capacity number i.e. when the course is full
  • If round 1 CAO offers are unfilled – the course can feature in ‘Available Places’
  • Unfilled places are categorised as ‘available’ and distributed accordingly, until the course reaches capacity
  • Not all educational institutes offer Available Places as courses can reach capacity through CAO round 1 offers.

Anyone can apply for an Available Place as it’s not based on Leaving Certificate points. You must meet minimum entry requirements for a course. For example, BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance at Griffith College Dublin has a minimum entry requirement of 2 H5’s and 4 O6/ H7’s, with a compulsory O6 or above in Mathematics.

If you hold a CAO account, visit the Available Places tab and enter your new course code choice. If you’ve not previously applied through the CAO, you can register at www.cao.ie and a payment of €45 is required. Add a level 6/7 or 8 Available Place course to your application and follow the instructions online. Always place your choices in order of preference and upon acceptance of a CAO Available Place Course, this will cancel and disqualify any previous course acceptance. You can only ever have one accepted course on the CAO.

Griffith College offers a wide range of Undergraduate Available Places. For any queries or questions call admissions on 01 4150415 or see https://www.griffith.ie/
