You need to choose the relevant qualification to make sure you meet all the minimum requirements for the said qualification.
You can make your payments via the website with your debit or credit card. Note that the transaction is secure, so that means so are your banking details. By completing the payment, you will then be transferred to the other points of the registration phase.
You need to create a password, make sure it is one you will remember. If you do happen to forget it there is a password recovery site through a link.
That link will ask you for information about your registration. You will end the application by clicking on the ‘Proceed with the application’. You will then receive a CAO application number, this is sent to your personal email address.
The above will mean that your application is confirmed. If you don’t receive the email even after refreshing your email, you should then contact the customer help through the official email address.

CAO Applicant’s Responsibility
It’s your responsibility to ensure your applications are on time and factual. Only one application is allowed in a one year period. You need to make sure that you never share your password with anyone, as it has all your personal information.
Application deadlines differ by institution and programme. Check the closing date for every programme in the current CAO handbook and submit the application, documents and payment in time; there is no universal 5:15 PM deadline.
If you miss the timing, you will be considered as a ‘CAO late applicant’. So the wise thing to do is complete everything ahead of time by a few weeks or days. This means you won’t run the risk of missing the deadline. If you have any issue pertaining to your CAO Application Status Contact them on their official website.
