Anyone who intends to accept an offer needs to do so by September 5th.

Close to 58-thousand students received Round One offers from the CAO this afternoon.

In total, just over 87-thousand offers were issued across level 8 as well as level 6 and 7 programs.

Tens of thousands of students will have let out a sigh of relief at about 2 O 'Clock when their CAO offers came in online.

Some will have gotten an offer for a level 8 degree course as well as one from the level 6 or 7 list.

They're only allowed accept one or the other, and CAO says anyone who intends to accept an offer needs to do so by September 5th.

Applicants who DID NOT get their first preference offer CAN accept one they got today, and it won't affect their chances of getting the higher placed offer later.

However some may have received the only offer they're going to get today - so care is advised when considering what to do.

Round two offers will arrive on September 11th, and applicants have just over two days to consider those.
