In 2021, the State Examinations Commission (SEC) as part of its digital strategy, introduced a facility to allow Leaving Certificate candidates to confirm their subject and level entry details online (including adding or withdrawing from subjects). The use of the online system, the Candidate Self Service Portal (CSSP) will continue for the 2025 Leaving Certificate.
The portal will open Monday 14th of October 2025 for candidates to register and activate their account and confirm their subject entries and levels. It will remain open for this purpose until 5pm Friday 25 October 2024. Candidates will be given a further opportunity to amend subjects/levels in February 2025.
PLEASE NOTE: LEAVING CERTIFICATE APPLIED YEAR 2 STUDENTS WILL REGISTER IN FEBRUARY 2025.
It is essential that you register through the Portal as this Portal will provide you with the opportunity to confirm your subject choice and levels, it also allows future access to your results and for the later stages of the process such as the appeals application process.
