Leaving Cert students can register for calculated grades system from tomorrow

The Department of Education is urging encouraging Leaving Cert students to register for the Calculated Grades system online, with the portal set to open tomorrow.

Minister for Education Joe McHugh has announced that the Calculated Grades Student Portal will open for registration to Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied students tomorrow, May 26.

It will open at 10am tomorrow and close at 10pm on Thursday, May 28.

Students can register on gov.ie/leavingcertificate.

The following information will be required to register:

• Examination Number
• Their Personal Public Service number (PPS), which they will use to create a four-digit Personal Identification
• Number
• Email address
• Mobile phone number

Once the Department of Education has received all required data from schools, students will be asked to opt in through the portal to indicate if they wish to receive calculated grades.

McHugh said: “Every school has been sent on the information to provide to their students so that they are able to complete the registration on the student portal.

“This is a brand-new system that it has been necessary to introduce because of the decisions we have had to take as we respond to Covid-19 situation. It is vital now that every Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied student is aware of the new online registration on gov.ie/leavingcertificate.

"The important message for Leaving Certificate students is that they must now register by Thursday at 10pm to ensure that they can receive their Leaving Certificate Calculated Grades."
