As referenced in previous communications, the UCAS terms of service states that providers are required to manage all their full-time UG applicants through the process and must process decisions by the relevant published RBD deadline.
The RBD should not be used as a catch-all. We can’t STOP decisions or delay the RBD, but we can advise and offer support if needed.
The following tips may be helpful to you in managing decisions:
- The ‘Post 15 Jan’ outstanding decision list in Weblink provides details of the applications relevant to the deadline.
- If you are waiting for information from an applicant, ensure your communications include a deadline before the RBD. If the information is not received by the deadline stipulated, a withdrawal decision can be processed. If the applicant subsequently responds to provide the information prior to the RBD and is offered a place, you can overwrite the Withdrawal decision provided the applicant hasn’t made their replies.
- If you have any issues that may prevent you from processing decisions by the deadline, please contact the Customer Success Team for advice.
