The Central Applications Office (CAO) has reminded applicants that the final deadline for submitting HEAR and DARE supporting documentation is Tuesday, 10 March 2026 at 5:00 PM.
All required documents for the Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) and the Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) must arrive at the CAO offices by this time to be considered as part of the 2026 application process. Late documentation cannot be accepted, so applicants are encouraged to ensure their paperwork has been submitted well in advance of the deadline.
HEAR and DARE schemes provide important access supports for eligible students applying to higher education in Ireland. Applicants should carefully check that all documentation is complete and submitted correctly to avoid any issues with their application.
Further information and guidance on submitting documentation is available on the CAO website.
