Removal of AS12 confirmation letters
We’re removing the AS12 Confirmation letters from Track this summer, meaning they’ll no longer be visible to applicants when their place is confirmed. Applicants who have already been placed will continue to see this letter in Track after the change has been made. If there was information you included within the AS12 letters with regards to making arrangements to study, please ensure this is provided in your correspondence to students.
