Each year we provide you with results information (referred to as results data) prior to its publication, so Confirmation decisions can be made ahead of results days. We obtain the results data from awarding organisations under strict contractual obligations – that all the information will remain confidential and under embargo conditions during an agreed embargo period.
This year’s results embargo starts when you receive results data and will end at:
- 09:00 on 4 August – SQA results day
- 06:00 on 13 August for results included in the main release
Please remember that you are strictly prohibited from releasing results information and any related information during the embargo period. This includes automated email campaigns and mailings sent out to applicants during the embargo period.
To ensure you do not inadvertently breach the embargo, we recommend that you suspend all applicant-facing communications during the embargo period. Please also review your local arrangements and ensure they are adequate. Privileged access to early results data is critical to our admissions process, and it is important that we work together to minimise the risk of any breaches during the embargo period, otherwise access may be withdrawn in the future.
If you have any concerns or queries, please contact the HEP Team on 01242 545 734 or email hep_team@ucas.ac.uk.
