What this site is
CollegeRoute explains published rules about applying to third level education in Ireland and does arithmetic on the numbers you give it. It is free to use.
It is not affiliated with the Central Applications Office, or with any college or institution. Nothing here is official. For applications and official information, go to cao.ie.
The calculator is an estimate
It applies the published points scale to the grades you enter. Your actual points are determined by the CAO after results issue, and they are the only figure that counts.
Entering predicted grades gives you a prediction. It is not a promise about an offer, and it does not check whether you meet a course's specific entry requirements, which are set by each institution.
Accuracy
Pages are checked against primary sources and carry the date of that check. Rules change, sometimes mid cycle, and a page can be out of date between one check and the next.
Decisions with real consequences, about deadlines, eligibility or money, should be confirmed against the official source linked on the page, or with your guidance counsellor or the institution.
Liability
The site is provided as it is. It is not legal, financial or educational advice about your situation, and it cannot be relied on as the basis for a decision without checking the underlying source.
Content
The words, code and design here are the work of Onoir Studio Limited. Quote a paragraph with a link, by all means. Do not republish pages wholesale.
Links go out to official bodies because they are the authority. This site is not responsible for what those sites say or do.
Changes
These terms can change. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last reviewed.
