Decisions and replies

Please remember that the official decision comes through UCAS within 40 days of the application being made, and applicants have 10 working days to reply to their offers once they’ve had decisions for all their choices.

Please ensure that you are referring to your admissions guide when making offers to applicants. Please remember that the official decision comes through UCAS within 40 days of the application being made, and applicants have 10 working days to reply to their offers once they’ve had a decision for all their choices.
 
You must ensure that any offers that you make comply with the scheme rules as outlined in the Adviser guide. In particular we would like to draw your attention to the following rules:

  • Don’t make offers that are conditional upon a satisfactory interview. This must take place during the 40 working day period and before you make a decision (Section 3.4, p18)
  • Please don’t contact applicants after making offers to ask them for replies. Applicants don’t need to reply until they have received a decision about all the choices they’ve made in Apply 1. (Section 4.1, p22)
Training providers should not pressure applicants to respond to offers outside of these timeframes.

We will be monitoring conditional offers made and will contact training providers to request that they remove offers that contravene these scheme rules.

For further support please refer to UCAS guidance on decision and offer making when making your decisions.
