Confirming or rejecting your offers

Once an applicant has replied to their guaranteed or reserve offers or both, they are ready for Confirmation, ie for the final decision to be made on the application. Confirmation decisions based on winter examination results, or any other examinations for which results are available during the cycle, should be made as soon as you have all the necessary information.

If an applicant has met the conditions of the offer, you are committed to accepting that applicant if they are holding a GC1 offer for that course, entry date and point of entry. You are also committed to accepting an applicant who is holding a VC1 (or VC2 uprated to VC1) offer if they have met the conditions of the offer and if you have a vacancy.violin student

If an applicant has not met the conditions, you may still accept the applicant, if you want, or you may reject the applicant. You may want to offer an alternative course to an applicant who has not quite met the conditions for the course originally offered. In this case, you should first obtain agreement from the applicant and then make the applicant GU1 for the new course. If the applicant does not agree to the change you must reject them.

An applicant holding a GC1, VC1 or VC2 offer may contact you to ask for consideration for a different course, date of entry or point of entry. If you agree to this, please incorporate the changes in the decision you send. Changed course, changed date of entry and changed point of entry decisions should be agreed with the applicant in advance.

Examination results

We collect the results of some examinations centrally and distribute them to you before the official publication date. See the Exam results page in the students' section for a list of results.

All other results must be obtained directly from the applicants. The advice we give to applicants asks them to send the results of all other examinations to you as soon as they are published.
