When will I get the result of my application?

The results of the Portfolio Assessment process are communicated to the CAO. All successful applicants will receive an offer through the CAO - usually in Round 0 or Round A of the CAO.

However, if academic staff decide to make a conditional offer, the offer will not be made to the applicant until Round 1 of the CAO. Conditional offers are made when the academic staff are willing to offer a place to an applicant but wish to make the offer conditional on the applicant gaining certain grades in examinations which are yet to be taken (usually that year's Leaving Certificate and/or FETAC examinations).

Unsuccessful applicants can email the Access Officer (access@dkit.ie) after 14th July in each year in order to obtain feedback from academic staff regarding their application. Please note that emails sent before this date will not be answered due to the volume of admissions queries when the earlier rounds of the CAO system are in operation. Please place the following words into the subject title of your email "Unsuccessful Mature Application - Feedback". In the interests of Data Protection, please ensure that you quote your CAO number in the email communication, that you use the name that you gave to CAO when you made your application, and that where possible, you use the email address that you gave to CAO. These stipulations exist to protect your information. Please note this facility only applies to programmes whose mature entry systems are managed by the Access Office. Queries on unsuccessful mature applications for nursing and midwifery programmes should be directed to the Nursing Board; likewise, such queries relating to Community Youth Work, Performing Arts and/or Applied Music should be directed to the relevant academic staff member (see our Undergraduate Prospectus and/or website for details).
