Following the conclusion of the review of the code used to generate Calculated Grades, improved Calculated Grades results were transmitted to the CAO on Saturday 3rdOctober. The CAO subsequently identified 485 students who were entitled to a higher preference CAO offer as a result of their improved grades.

As of CAO Round 4, which was issued on Thursday 8thOctober, all of these students have received an offer to take up a place in their new course in the current academic year.
