JULY

For applicants studying Access courses or other vocational courses where your school/college does not provide your results directly through UCAS you will need to ask them to confirm your results to us once they are known.  To do this, please ask your school/college to contact the Admissions Team directly at: AdmissionsUG.ELS@southampton.ac.uk .Unfortunately we cannot accept the results directly from you unless you have your original certificate.

AUGUST

Thursday 15th August 2019 is A Level confirmation day. All students studying A Levels this year will find out their results on this day and the University will automatically receive these results. You will be able to find out if your place with us is secure by checking your UCAS track. Even if you achieve the required examination results your offer will only become "unconditional" if you have met all the other conditions of your offer e.g. returned your DBS certificate, been given Occupational Health Level 1 clearance etc. Once your offer has become "unconditional" you will receive an email asking you to enrol with us. Remember to check in your email spam box. Once you have enrolled you will be able to view your timetable once it is released, have immediate access to lecture and seminar information and be ready to start on your first day.

If your offer is still showing as "conditional" on UCAS track and you are unsure what conditions are outstanding, please contact the Admissions Team on ugapply.fhs@southampton.ac.uk to investigate this.
