FAQs

Do you have a question about something? If you do, read through this list and you may find the answer you're looking for.

Applying

  • My daughter's friends have started getting offers. When is she going to hear something?
  • Our son left school last year to work. Now he wants to go to university. How does he apply?
  • Our daughter wants to study design. Foundations and Route B applications have been mentioned. Can you explain about art and design applications?
  • My son has been turned down for medicine. Somebody mentioned applying through Extra and Clearing. Can he apply?

Changes

  • We aren't happy with the universities our son has chosen. What can be done about it?
  • Our son is working in Belize for the year. He's holding a place at university for next year, but he's told us he's having doubts about the course. Have you any suggestions?
  • My daughter has accepted a deferred place, but would like to start the course this year. What can she do?

Options

  • My son is away travelling. Can I reply to offers on his behalf?
  • Our daughter was ill a lot during her AS year, so we're worried neither her predictions nor results will get her the offers she really deserves. Can we do anything?
  • My daughter is desperately unhappy at college and says she wants to come home. We want her to stay, but can she reapply if she leaves?
  • Our daughter has suddenly started mentioning that she'd like to study in another country. Where can we get some pointers?
