The Higher Education Minister says the "end is in sight" for Leaving Certificate students, who get results later.
Almost 62 thousand students sat the state exams this year, for most it was their first experience of the process as their Junior Cert's were cancelled during the covid pandemic.
They'll be able to access their grades online from 10am.
Further Education Minister Simon Harris has called on students who may be disappointed later to access supports.
Simon Harris says there are many pathways into a career that don't necessarily include the CAO.
'There are so many opportunities to succeed, there are so many opportunities to get to where you want to in life and that might be going directly to University or it might also be an apprenticeship a trainee ship a post leaving cert course, the new degree courses that we now have available outside the CEO. So when you get those results do take the time to talk to teachers talk to guidance counsellors, talk to parents and access a number of the helplines if needed.'
