CAO Available Places are places on programmes which are unfilled after all offers have been issued.
You can apply for courses through CAO Available Places if:
- you have already submitted a CAO application, but would like to apply for a new course
- you have not submitted a CAO application and would now like to apply to start university this September.
After CAO Round 1 offers, Carlow College will consider which courses can be offered additional place. If you have not yet submitted your CAO application, you may still apply for 2024 entry through Available Places should the course be available.
To be notified of courses listed on Available Places on the 29th August 2024, please complete the form below.
