I am unconditional Firm with UCL, but I want to be released into Clearing, what should I do?

You are able to release yourself into Clearing by signing into UCAS Track/Hub and clicking the self-release button on the homepage. 

This process cannot be reversed. Please be sure that you wish to go into Clearing, as once you have released yourself you will no longer hold a place at UCL.

I haven’t got a decision yet, but I want to be released into Clearing, what should I do?

If your offer is still conditional it is possible that ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûare still awaiting confirmation of your results and will not be able to make a final decision until the results are received. Please log into your Applicant Portal and follow the instructions to provide acceptable evidence of your final results so that ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûmay process a final decision for you. The deadlines for providing qualification evidence are stated in your offer letter.

Please phone +44 (0)20 8059 0939 for details of pending information. Only applicants who are unconditional firm are able to be released into Clearing.

Application decision

Does ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûtake mitigating circumstances into account?

We understand that an applicant’s exams may have been adversely affected by extenuating circumstances, however ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûwill only consider the results you are awarded by the examination board(s).

We expect any circumstances that could have affected your academic performance to be raised with the examination board(s). They will then be able to take this into account when awarding the final grade.

Please ensure you have spoken with your school or institution to help notify the examination boards as soon as possible.

There no decision on my UCAS Track/Hub or Portico (the ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûApplicant Portal)?

If your offer is still conditional it is possible that ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûare still awaiting confirmation of your results and will not be able to make a final decision until the results are received. Please log into your Applicant Portal and follow the instructions to provide the requested and acceptable evidence of your final results so that ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûmay process a final decision for you.

The deadlines for providing qualification evidence are stated in your offer letter.

Please phone +44 (0)20 8059 0939 for details if you are unclear what information we are waiting for. 

If your English Language test results are pending, these must be provided to us by the deadline of 15th September 2023. Please see our English Language requirements pages for details of the tests that can be used to meet this condition. ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûis now accepting Duolingo English Test and IELTS Academic Online test for September 2023 entry.

I didn’t meet my offer conditions, but I am appealing my grades. Do I need to let ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûknow?

You will need to request a priority review of marking. Your school or College can advise on this further. If you meet your offer conditions as the result of an appeal, then please contact us or phone +44 (0)20 8059 0939. Your updated result(s) should come through to us from UCAS.

We must receive your new grade by 15 September 2023. We may not be able to consider appeals after this date.

If you do receive an appeal outcome after this date that meets your ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûoffer conditions, then we may be able to consider you for a deferred place if your results are received by 13 October 2023. If your grades change because of an appeal, but you still do not meet the conditions of your offer, the decision on your application will not change.

I held a Firm conditional offer with ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûbut have been rejected. However, I am aware that accepted students may drop out or defer. Can I take their place or be added to a waitlist?

Unfortunately, this is not possible as ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûcalculates its offer making and final admissions decisions with the knowledge that some students may no longer attend.

My results have been provided ahead of 17 August, but I am still awaiting to hear if my place is confirmed, what should I do?

If you still hold a conditional offer after your results have been provided to UCL, it could be that you have narrowly missed the conditions of your offer and we are waiting to see if we have space to still consider you. We hope to be able to communicate a decision with you no later than 17 August, as long as we have evidence of all of the requested qualifications.

My final exams were cancelled, and I have received calculated/teacher assessed grade as a final awarded grade. Will ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûaccept these awarded grades?

ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûwill use the official grades awarded by the examination authority as your examination results. The official results must be provided by 15 September 2023.

ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûis aware that Cambridge International exams of the May 2023 series (10-12 May) have been cancelled in Pakistan. From students affected by the cancellations, ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûwill consider the alternative grades officially confirmed by the exam board such as calculated grades or grades obtained through rescheduled examinations. We expect to receive the official results by 15 September 2023.

Discussing your application

I will be out of the country on Results Day, can my parents, guardian or nominated person discuss my application with you?

We will not be able to discuss your application with any third parties due to data protection legislation.

If you will be away over the results period and you would like to give ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûpermissions to speak to a specific person about your application, then you will need to contact us via our Admissions contact form with:

  •     your name
  •     UCAS PID number
  •     the programme you applied for
  •     the name of your nominated contact

Once we have the above information, we will be able to speak with the named contact on your behalf. Please note the nominated contact listed on your UCAS form does not permit ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûto speak to them about your application.

Changes to your offer

I have been accepted by my Firm choice university; however I want to go to ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûwhich is my insurance choice instead. I have met the conditions of the ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûoffer, what will I need to do?

When a student is confirmed by their Firm choice university their Insurance choice becomes invalid and is automatically declined by UCAS, even if the student has met the conditions of their Insurance offer.

Unfortunately, you cannot swap your offer replies at this stage, however if ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûis advertising vacancies in Clearing Plus for your programme of choice please do contact us on 17 August.

Can I defer my entry to September 2024?

ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûtries to facilitate deferral requests wherever possible (unfortunately deferal requests for the Slade School of Fine Art cannot be considered), but please be aware that we are unable to defer offers that are still conditional at this stage. Please contact us with the following details:

  •     your full name,  
  •     the programme you've applied for, and  
  •     a brief outline of the reasons for your deferral request

Deferral requests should be made no later than 13 October, if you do not hold an unconditional offer at the point of requesting a deferral, we will need to see evidence of meeting your offer conditions before we can consider your request. If your request is approved, the Undergraduate Admissions team will then update your record, and you will need to log into UCAS Track/Hub to check and accept this change.

I hold an unconditional firm place with UCL, but I would like to change my programme, am I able to do this?

ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûis unable to consider any programme change requests at this stage.

In some limited cases it may be possible to change your programme of study after you enrol but this would be dependent on available space and the qualifications that you hold. Please approach the relevant academic department to discuss this after enrolment. By joining ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûyou should expect to study the programme you currently hold an unconditional offer for.

Student visas

I need a Student visa to study in the UK. When will I receive my CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies)?

If you have firmly accepted our offer, you will have received an email in June 2023 inviting you to check the details which will be used to generate your CAS. Please ensure you have checked the details we hold for you in the Applicant Portal. Your CAS will be issued to you once your offer status has been updated to Unconditional Firm and your qualifications have been verified.

We are unable to expedite CAS numbers and as such we strongly encourage offer holders not to book visa appointments or flights until they are in receipt of their CAS number.

Further information about obtaining a CAS
