IN BRIEF

Placed students have a short registration window and should use the institution's official instructions rather than wait for an informal message.

  • National second-phase results are published from 00:01 on 30 September.
  • Registration and enrolment run from 1 to 3 October.
  • Professional-route second-phase applications run from 30 September to 2 October.
  • A placement result and an institution's enrolment process are separate steps.
01

Check the result through the official route

Applicants can consult the DGES result and should then read the receiving institution's instructions for registration, fees, identification and any digital account. Deadlines are tight and procedures can differ between institutions.

Do not rely only on a forwarded screenshot or social-media group. Confirm the course, institution and placement details in the official result before arranging housing or making a non-refundable payment.

02

Plan the next three days

Prepare identification, application details and the payment method the institution accepts. If accommodation is needed, verify the provider and contract rather than transferring money simply because the enrolment deadline is close.

Applicants not placed should inspect the remaining formal routes and vacancy information rather than assume the process is over. The professional-route calendar is different and needs its own application check.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

What you can do now.

  1. 01

    Open the result through DGES.

  2. 02

    Follow the receiving institution's 1–3 October enrolment instructions.

  3. 03

    Verify accommodation before making a payment.
