IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YEAR 13
Below is some important information which UCAS have sent through for you to be aware of. Please take
the time to read and if you have any questions, either contact them directly or see Miss Beer.
Replies to Offers
Applicants that applied before the 15 January application closing date (extended to 22 January due to
the severe weather conditions) will have received all their offers by now and should have made their
replies. If for any reason students have failed to reply to their offers they will have been declined
automatically on 5th May, 2010. Students in this situation will have 14 days to contact us to change this.
Summer Holidays
Students must ensure that before they leave for the summer holidays to keep their contact details up-
to-date on Track as their university or college choices may contact them. Students should update their
address, email and telephone details.
Students need to make a note of their Track username, password and personal ID to use over the
summer holiday. These will be especially important in August when students can check their situation
when they have their results.
Extra
Extra has been open and available to eligible students since 26 February, 2010. Extra is available to
applicants who have used all five choices on their original application and have been either unsuccessful
at all choices or declined their offers.
Extra for students is explained on the UCAS website: student extra and in the adviser’s section:
adviser extra.
Extra gives students the opportunity to look for available places using Course Search and choose those
that may be of interest to them. Initially students are advised to contact universities and colleges
themselves to discuss their requirements and to ensure that spaces are still available.
The final date for students to refer their application to a university or college through Extra is 6th July,
2010.
Many thanks
