Carrying forward eligibility from 2026 to 2027

Please only complete this section if you applied to AND were eligible for DARE last year. Eligibility for DARE carries forward for ONE year, provided that you:

• Apply to the CAO by  Monday 1 February 2027 at 5pm.
• No later than  Monday 1 March 2027 at 5pm, disclose your disability in your CAO application and fully and correctly complete Section A of the Supplementary Information Form (SIF). You must answer YES to Question 1 (‘Do you wish to be considered for DARE?’) on Section A of the fully completed SIF by Monday 1 March 2027 at 5pm.
• Supply your correct 2026 CAO number under Question 1(b) by Monday 1 March 2027 at 5pm.

The outcome of your 2026 DARE application was communicated to you by email in June 2026. If you applied to the CAO in 2026 and you were deemed eligible for DARE in 2026, then your DARE eligibility can be carried forward to your 2027 application.

• You must enter your correct CAO 2026 number in the box provided.
• You are still required to complete all relevant sections of the 2027 SIF form (Section A); however, you do not need to supply the Educational Impact Statement (Section B) or Evidence of Disability (Section C) as part of your application. In the event of being offered and accepting a DARE place in 2027, you may be required to provide the original documents that accompanied your 2026 DARE application. You should get assistance from your parent(s) or guardian(s) and use the DARE Handbook to help you answer all the relevant questions on your online DARE application. You can contact the CAO help desk if you require information about your DARE eligibility.
• Note: You must tick the ‘Terms & Conditions’ box to confirm that all the information you provided is correct and that you undertake to comply with the regulations of the CAO. You must press ‘SUBMIT’ to complete your eligibility carry-forward application.
