Tomorrow is the deadline for Leaving Certificate students to submit their change-of-mind forms to the Central Applications Office (CAO). Forms must reach the CAO offices at Eglinton Street, Galway, by 5.15 p.m. A CAO spokesman said there was no point in parents or students leaving a form on Monday morning as "there will be absolutely no exceptions".

If change-of-mind forms are posted today, they will be accepted, a CAO spokesman said, but students should keep a certificate of posting as proof. There are four certificates of posting in the CAO handbook and they can be stamped at a post office.
