Read the information about the course. Ask yourself if this course covers the aspects of teaching that particularly interest you. Does it have the flexibility you might be looking for?
How will it be taught? The following 1 and 2 describes how the system processes standards decisions which are not related to Confirmation or Clearing:. For each decision record:. If the application is not UF and either the new decision value is different from the decision value of the existing transaction or the course details have changed, the process generates a new LA transaction.
If the application is UF and the new decision is equal to withdrawal, the process generates a RW transaction. If the application is UF and any of the course details of the decision have changed, the process generates a RA transaction.
If the most recent transaction is LC and there is no previous transaction, the process generates an LD transaction. If there is a previous transaction then the process generates a LA transaction. When the process completes processing the decisions, it sets the transaction flag for the decision record to N to indicate that transaction processing has completed.
If the latest transaction for an application has a transaction type other than LD, LA or RA, the process does not generate a transaction.
When the system completes processing the decisions, it sets the transaction flag for the decision record to N to indicate that transaction processing has completed. When the Transaction Processing process generates a new transaction record, it automatically updates the Campus Solutions application linked to the UCAS application choice with the program action and action reason values. The system then attaches the program action and action reason to the application.
For example, you can define a condition three A Levels at Grade B that can be used for multiple application decisions. Subsequently, you can enter this condition in the Decision Processing pages when making a conditional offer.
When you generate transactions for the conditional offers, the system includes this condition in the transactions to send to UCAS. Use the Initial Decision Entry pages to enter a decision. For example, enter a decision of unconditional offer. Run the Transaction Processing process to generate the transaction for the unconditional offer decision. Select the Generate Transactions check box on the Transaction Processing page.
It is recommended that you first generate transactions, review the sent transactions, and then request UCAS for acknowledgement. Therefore, we recommend that you do not run the transaction processing process with both the Export Transactions and Update Transactions from UCAS check boxes selected. Run the transaction processing process with the Generate Transaction check box selected first and review the sent transactions.
Then, run the transaction processing process with the Update Transactions from UCAS check box selected and review the transaction for acknowledgement. Run the Import Applicant Data process. If the applicant has responded to the offer, the offer response will be in ivStarC.
If the applicant has declined the offer, Campus Solutions sets the Reply as D. This step is not applicable for GTTR applications. Compare the applicant exam results with the offer conditions. This process is not available for GTTR applications. Use the Quick Confirmation page or the Confirmation Entry page to accept or reject the conditional offer. The following is an example of processing the Delayed Conditional decisions:.
Run the Transaction Processing process to generate and export the RD transaction with the decision code of D. Once the results are known, use the Confirmation Entry page to confirm the DF application. Run the Transaction Processing process to generate and export another RD transaction for the application.
An applicant who may not have got admission in any institution is eligible for Clearing. The RX transaction must have a decision value. Use the Import Applicant Data process to import the application choices for Clearing if you have sent a RQ transaction. Use the GTTR Enquiry Entry page to collect student contact address and exam results while the institution is negotiating with the student. If the institution decides to accept or make a conditional offer to the student, enter the course, campus, entry year, entry month, transaction type RX , decision U or C and decision maker.
Run the Import Applicant Data process to import the applicant data and application choices for the students you have sent RX transactions for. Use this page to record the AD transaction. The process imports the Adjustment application choice if you have sent an AD transaction. After your institution has accepted an applicant through Adjustment that is, your institution has sent an AD transaction , the system updates the application choice to UF.
If the applicant subsequently withdraws the applicant, then the institution may either release the application to clearing RR transaction or withdraw the applicant RW transaction.

For example, suppose you have an INT01 offer with a free format text that starts with For example, suppose you have an INT01 offer with a free format text Is your interview date and time. The Free Format field does not appear on the Initial Decision pages but the system applies similar logic in the background to populate the Free Format field of the decision record with the free format text from the standard offer minus any interview date and time elements.
You can change the interview date and time, comment, and the free format text values on the decision pages, if required. File Attachments. Click to access standard PeopleTools functionality to browse to a file and upload it.

Institution Decision. However, you can enter the Delayed Conditional D decision only from this page. The only difference is that on this page you can use this field for transaction code. For example, if Interview Date is May 26, and Interview Time is and Comment is Bring your portfolio and you click Letter Text, then the following transaction code appears ,'Bring your portfolio'. If you have not selected the Interview Applicants option on the UCAS Quick Decision Entry page, the search results can only display records that do not have a decision.

You can then use this page to modify the Interview decision to a post-interview decision that is, Offer, Conditional offer, or Reject.
You can search for records of a particular institution, course, campus, entry year and application center or combination of those. The decision, decision code, decision maker and comment field values are used for all the records that have a decision applied and are saved. The Approver value is used for all the records that are approved and saved.
Student Override. For a student, the process can compare the conditions you generated Transaction Code on the UCAS Decision Processing page with the exam results, and determine whether the student has satisfied the conditions.
The process considers the following abbreviations when comparing conditional offer details with exam results:. After running this process, navigate to the UCAS Confirmation Entry page to check whether the applicant has satisfied the conditions.
If the process determines that at least one condition has not been met, the Results Matching field displays Not Satisfied. If the process determines that at least one condition has not been evaluated, the Results Matching field displays Partially Evaluated.

The University of Manchester is committed to providing equal opportunities for all applicants to join a course of study, including individuals with a criminal conviction.
However, the University has a duty to ensure the safety of its students, staff and all other members of our community. As a result, there are levels of disclosure that applicants must follow dependent on the course. For courses where a Disclosure and Barring Service record check is required, including teaching, health, social work, pharmacy and others where interaction with children or working with adults in regulated activity is required, applicants must declare all criminal convictions.
This includes spent sentences, cautions and bind-over orders. These courses are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act This is a good problem to have.
Both Durham and York, as members of the Warwick group, have a particularly good reputation for teaching and some employers will favour these universities, as others might Oxford or Cambridge.
However we don't have any specialist information to hand regarding that particular degree at Essex and the right choice will ultimately depend on your priorities. The QAA quality assessments click here should be helpful, as will university guides like the Guardian's. The best way to choose, though, would be to visit all three, talk to students and tutors and make up your own mind. At this stage, however, this may not be possible. He had the offer of a place in at Sussex to read cultural studies and media studies: he was asked for B in French, media studies and psychology or a minimum Ucas tariff points from three A-levels including French, media studies and psychology - which seems to me to amount to the same thing.
Is there any point in getting touch with the admissions tutor for this course and saying how much he wants to go to Sussex and nowhere else will do? He has been turned down by them according to his Ucas Track. Kingston has unconditionally offered him a place but he has fallen in love with Sussex. Our aunts respond: Nothing ventured, nothing gained - so yes, he should contact the admissions tutors at Sussex as soon as possible and discuss his options.
If he is prepared to be flexible and consider a different degree perhaps a joint honours programme with languages that plays on his bilingual strengths he may have more chance of success.
PS: Please note that he should contact Sussex - admissions tutors much prefer to talk to the candidate. Hi, I just received my A-levels and missed my offer to study at Warwick AAA on their MORSE degree, a combined maths economics stats and operation research degree with the optional masters of actuarial and financial mathematics. I'm planning on becoming an actuary or go into the financial mathematics area for my career. I am currently holding an insurance place of straight maths at King's but I'm unsure of changing to another more financial-related degree like actuarial science at Kent.
I really enjoy mathematics, so I know I will succeed at the King's maths degree and the reputation of King's exceeds Kent, I don't mind if I have the money at the time to study a Master's after my maths degree if having a King's degree is more valued than a Kent. Please help :.
Our aunts respond: We assume you're talking about King's College, Cambridge? Go for it! This degree will open the door to lots of opportunities for you, including an actuarial career, if you so choose.
But don't just take our advice for it - the admissions tutors at King's should be able to tell all about the progression routes from the degree to careers in financial mathematics or as an actuary.
My son has just got his results - they were B,B,C in English, history and drama. He is very down as he was hoping for a couple of As at least and originally wanted to do English - although now I think he is leaning towards some combination of History and English. He is supposed to be doing a gap year this year and do some travelling but now I fear he will want to try and spend the time to raise his grades instead - as when he checked a few universities last year he was told 3As were required to do English.
What would you recommend - do you think he will have a reasonable choice of places with two Bs and a C? Our aunts respond: Those grades will restrict your son's choices but places should be available. Because he is taking a gap year your son cannot apply for a place through Clearing now.
We suggest that in a few weeks time when admissions tutors are a bit less busy he should ring some of the universities in which he is interested, and talk over his chances of a successful application for He may well have to raise his grades to gain entry to the university of his choice; a word of warning about retakes though - some universities don't accept them.
Again, talking directly to the university admissions tutors is the best bet. My son has an offer from his second choice university which we are all very happy about. However he was only seven points in the least important subject away from his first choice. I understand that if you're quick you can sometimes horsetrade, maybe the first choice uni can squeeze him in, but said son is off with his mates getting trolleyed and won't get round to it.
Are parents allowed to make the call or is that very bad form? If so who would we speak to? Our aunts respond: It is worth trying but university admissions tutors do tend to prefer to speak to the sober candidate. However, if he's happy and celebrating are you sure he wants you to make that call? He got rejected from the universities he applied to this year I think the put them off I am just about to go collect my results. Whatever happens I want to go to university, can I still go if I only pass two A-levels?
Our aunts respond: Good luck with your results! If you don't achieve your predicted grades do contact the university you applied to straight away to see if they still might accept you. If not, it is likely that there will a place for you in Clearing if you don't achieve the results you need for your first or insurance choice universities. I hope you won't mind me writing to ask some advice about English at Anglia Polytechnic University. I was interviewed for a place at Christ's Cambridge but did not receive an offer, I have my clearing passport and number already.
Reading their prospectus and looking at recommendations I am very interested in applying for an English and music degree there. I can't think how to ask diplomatically, but might I be very disappointed with the course, compared to the "other Cambridge"?
I applied there because I wanted to be taught by inspirational tutors along with other keen students, to go somewhere amazing! On paper APU sounds amazing but I can't find anyone who can give me any advice. Our aunts respond: We're afraid it's not really clear from your question exactly what your situation is.
Have you got other offers from other universities? Is APU your first or insurance choice university? Certainly APU is a different prospect to Christ's Cambridge but have you visited to find out more and spoken to admissions tutors? For independent advice on universities check out one of the many guides such as the Guardian University Guide.
