“Children are a great comfort in your old age – and they help you reach it faster too..” Lionel Kauffman

SLIDE 2

Don’t Panic!

 UCAS application is very

straightforward.

 UCAS ‘Subject Browser’ and ‘Course

Finder’ are extremely useful

 Students can add to it as they go

along, saving and changing their

form. We can access their form at

any time

 A checking tool is built in, so it’s

actually quite difficult to make mistakes (We help too!)

SLIDE 3

CHOICES,CHOICES!

 Five choices only are available – these

cannot be prioritised in any way on the form

 Only when all five offers are made can

students decide on which course they prefer

 Compare courses on the Unistats website.  Students can accept one Unconditional

ffer only

 Or they can accept a Firm Offer and an

Insurance Offer, before using TRACK to follow their application

 Applicants should be working on their

UCAS form throughout Oct/Nov – we aim to send ALL forms to UCAS by St Andrew’s Day, 30th November, if possible.

How can you help..?

 Register as a Parent on UCAS.COM.  UCAS has a special part of their site

dedicated to helping parents. (They know we worry…)

 It has a Parents’/Idiots’ Guide to UCAS

terms.

 They’ll even send you a very useful

Parents’ Guide.

 UCAS will send parents emails, helping

you understand the process.

SLIDE 6

Double Check!

 Check through your son or

daughter’s application before sending it to their UCAS tutor.

 Above all, ensure your son/daughter

double checks institution codes and course codes.

 Read over their Personal

Statement with them. Have they remembered everything?

SLIDE 7

Offers…

 Make sure your son/daughter replies

to any offers by the stated reply-by date.

 Students only reply when ALL 5

ffers have been made.

 Look out for the AS12 Confirmation

Letter – youngsters MUST follow instructions to confirm acceptance.
