If an applicant is offered a place on a course through CAO, it is possible to defer entry for one year. Applicants who wish to defer a place should consult the CAO Handbook and take the following steps:

• Do not accept the offer in the manner shown on the offer notice.
• After receiving the offer, immediately write to the Admissions Office at Shannon College, stating reasons for seeking a deferral and enclosing section ‘C’ of the CAO offer. The letter must be received by the Shannon College Admissions Office at least two days before the reply date shown on the CAO offer notice.
• Shannon College will communicate the decision to the applicant.
• An applicant to whom a deferral is granted must re-apply for the course directly to the CAO by the 1st February of the following year, placing the deferred course as the first and only preference on the application form.
