Students who have accepted an offer from ATU via CAO and who register on stage 1 of the ATU programme may have an opportunity in semester 1 to avail of an ‘internal transfer’. The following criteria applies:
- A place must be available on the programme to which the transfer is sought,
- Applicants must have achieved the minimum entry requirements and have attained at least the minimum of the cut off points for the programme which they wish to transfer onto,
- Applications for transfer during the CAO season will normally only be permitted for the programmes listed on CAO AvailablePlaces, however, if wait lists are exhausted, a transfer can be considered.
