How to
apply

All students

• All students except CAO students should create their account with their Trinity ID (application number).
• After you have accepted the unconditional offer, the portal may take up to 2 weeks to recognise your Trinity ID.
• If you receive a ‘User Not Recognised’ error message, we recommend you try the portal again later. It’s important not to register a CAO account as your application will not be accepted or reviewed.

CAO Applicants

• CAO students should create their account with their CAO number.
• Your full name and your CAO number should match your CAO application. Any discrepancies in your name and CAO number may lead to your application not being reviewed.
• Please ensure that you use your CAO application number and not your Leaving Certificate exam number.
• Please take a note of your password. If you forget it or need to reset it please email resacc@tcd.ie.

Deferred 1^st Year Students
