Students can log on to their Candidate Self Service Portal to see the component marks for the different parts of each subject they have taken.<\/p>\n

CAO first round offers begin.<\/p>\n
Thursday, 27 August 2026 at 12pm<\/p>\n
The CAO Available Places facility opens for 2026. This facility lists college courses that still have open spots, which CAO applicants and new applicants can apply for.<\/p>\n
“Maybe you\u2019ve seen your friends getting CAO first round offers and maybe you didn\u2019t apply for the CAO,” Donnchadh O\u2019Mahony explained.<\/p>\n
“Last year, you thought you didn\u2019t want to go to college and now you think you want to get that college experience.<\/p>\n
“You can open a CAO account for Available Places courses. Any courses that are not going to be filled will be on Available Places, both Level 8 and Level 6,7 courses,” Mr O\u2019Mahony said.<\/p>\n
Saturday, 29 August 2026 at 9am<\/p>\n
Students will be able to view their scripts online for 24 hours until 9am on Sunday, 30 August.<\/p>\n
“On Saturday, while you might be celebrating down at Electric Picnic, you\u2019ll be able to view your scripts online so find a good spot with internet to do this,” Mr O\u2019Mahony said.<\/p>\n
Monday, 31 August 2026 at 5pm – deadline to appeal results<\/p>\n
Applications to appeal your results must be made through the Candidate Self Service Portal between 10am Sunday, 30 August to 5pm Monday, 31 August.<\/p>\n
“A very, very short window there. Students have just over 24 hours to make that application to appeal,” Mr O Mahony explained.<\/p>\n
The State Examinations Commission Candidate Portal helpline will be available at 1800 111 135 or 1800 111 136 from 9am to 5pm from Friday, 21 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now that the Leaving Cert results are out, what are the key dates to watch out for next?…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":601639,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-601638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601638\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/601639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
