CUKAS applicants who have also applied through UCAS and/or the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR) can only hold a confirmed place in one application system. A confirmed place in CUKAS is a Guaranteed Unconditional offer as your first choice (GU1) and in UCAS or the GTTR it is an Unconditional Firm (UF) place.

We ask applicants who hold confirmed places in more than one application system to confirm their acceptance of one place and to withdraw from any others.
