Adjustment

Adjustment is an opportunity for applicants who have met and exceeded the terms of their original conditional firm offer, to secure a place at an alternative provider, while keeping their original confirmed place.

Posted Tue 20 August 2019

Applicants are eligible to use Adjustment if they:

  • are confirmed (UF) at their firm choice, and have met and exceeded the conditions of their original CF offer
  • have paid the full application fee

Applicants are not eligible to use Adjustment if:

  • they are confirmed (UF) at their firm choice, but did not exceed the conditions of the offer
  • they have a confirmed place for a Change at Confirmation offer
  • their original offer was unconditional
  • the course they wish to adjust was their original insurance choice

Adjustment has been available from A level results day. The option to register for Adjustment becomes available in Track for applicants whose status changes from CF to UF by A level results day, or when their place is confirmed – whichever is later. Once the registration button is available, they have five 24-hour periods to secure an alternative place. For example:

Time place is confirmed

18:27 on 28 August

The Adjustment management information lists in web-link show an applicant’s individual Adjustment expiry time. The lists also give the time the applicant registered for Adjustment – this is not the start of their five 24-hour Adjustment period.
