Confirming or rejecting your offers

Once an applicant's examination results are known and you have all the necessary information, you can make conditional offers unconditional or reject them. This process is known as Confirmation.

The majority of conditional offers are based on the results of GCE, VCE and SQA summer examinations and so the Confirmation timetable is geared to their publication dates. Where results are available earlier, for example after a winter examination or after BTEC awards, offers can be confirmed as soon as the results are known.

You should make decisions on applications as quickly as possible after receipt of summer results, and in any event by the date notified by us. If an applicant has achieved the conditions of the offer, the offer must be confirmed.

You can confirm an offer even if all the conditions have not been met, or offer a place on an alternative course. An Outstanding Decisions List is available online nine working days after the notification of results to you.
