CAO Change of Mind

A. Change of Mind - 5th May (12:00 noon) to 1st July (17:15)At the beginning of May, applicants will be able to register a change of course choices online, free of charge.
If you change online, and have supplied an e-mail address, an acknowledgement will also be sent to that e-mail address.
There is no fee for using the Change of Mind facility.
Making Changes:
Subject to the exceptions and restrictions mentioned below, you may change course choices (without fee) as often as you wish, up to 17:15 on the 1st July.
If you submit a Change of Mind, it cancels and supersedes all the previous course choices in any category in which changes are made. However, choices in the two categories ( Level 8 and Level 7/6 ) are considered to be completely separate from each other for this purpose. e.g. a change of Level 8 course choices will not affect Level 7/6 choices.
If you do not wish to change the courses in one category, do not submit a change. Your original courses in that category will remain unchanged.
Do not mix courses from different categories (Level 8 and Level 7/6) and make sure to list all of your course choices for the particular category which you change.
Except for Restricted Application Courses/Restricted Categories of applicant (see page 3 of the CAO handbook and below), you may enter on the form courses which did not appear on your original application.
Watch the `CAO Change of Mind` video for a step-by-step guide to the process.
