Admissions Procedures - UCAS
1.17. Confirmation
1.171. Admissions will
automatically receive published results from
UCAS
for a
number of qualifications (see Appendix 1 for a full list):
1.172. Admissions will
prepare results files for consideration by the Selectors and will
highlight the following information for each applicant:
i. Outstanding non-academic conditions which
prevent a decision being made
ii. Outstanding academic conditions such as
GCSE
which
prevent a decision being made
iii. Year of
entry other than current year
1.173. Selectors will
make decisions on results in all cases where this is
possible. In programmes of study where offers exceed
available places the Selectors will adopt the following
procedure:
i. Accept
all applicants who have met or exceeded the offer conditions
made
ii. Hold all
applicants who have not met the offer conditions
iii. Reject
all applicants who cannot meet the minimum entry requirement of two
A-levels or their equal.
iv. Total
all acceptances and calculate the number of places unfilled, taking
into account those with conditions outstanding but which are likely
to be met.
v. Accept
applicants whose tariff score is closest to the offer made and
continue until all places are filled or it is decided that
applicants with higher qualifications might be found during the
Clearing
process.
1.174. Selectors who do
not have sufficient offers to fill the available places allocated
will decide at what minimum tariff score they will accept
applicants and will confirm the places of all applicants up to this
threshold.
1.175. Selectors for
under-subscribed programmes of study will, wherever possible,
confirm the place of any applicant who has applied to the
University and who can meet the minimum entry requirement and any
other specific entry requirement.
1.176. Admissions will
advise
UCAS
of those
decisions which have been made based on meeting or exceeding the
conditions of the offer and for which results have been received.
Admissions will prepare enrolment documentation which will be
posted first class through Royal Mail.
1.177. In addition the
Clearing Call Centre will be able to provide information to
applicants on their status. Applicants who have not yet had a
decision made on their application will be referred by the Call
Centre to Admissions. Admissions will advise callers of the
status of their application and where necessary inform them of any
procedural matters they may need to complete to expedite a
decision, or finalise their position with the institution.
