How HEAR offers are made
HEAR applicants are informed by letter at the end of June if they are eligible or not for the HEAR scheme. Full details of a recheck process are available on the HEAR website: www.accesscollege.ie. If you are eligible for HEAR you will then be considered for a HEAR reduced points place under certain criteria.
To be considered for a HEAR reduced points place, applicants must meet the HEAR eligibility criteria and the course entry requirements.

HEAR reduced points and merit offers are made through CAO and are in Round 1. If there are places still available, some reduced points offers are made in Round 2.
If you get a HEAR reduced points offer this will appear as a regular offer online through the CAO. You will then receive a letter from the Institute to inform you that you have received a HEAR offer.
If you accept the place you must register and attend IT Tralee’s Orientation Programme as this is part of the conditions of the HEAR offer.
