Personal details

Your personal information will be sent to your chosen universities and colleges

Your title, gender, name and address and date of birth will be filled in automatically with the details provided during registration.

Further details about your personal circumstances are required

You are asked for extra information so that the universities and colleges can decide what tuition fees you should be charged and what entitlements or special requirements you might be qualified to receive. They need to know your residential status, where/whether you will be looking for funding and/or sponsorship, and if you have any special needs or disabilities which they would need to address.

As part of their duty of care to all applicants/existing students they will also need to know if you have any relevant criminal convictions. You are asked to tick a box if you have a relevant criminal conviction. If you do not, please leave the box blank.

Entering an email address

If you enter an email address, you will be asked to verify that it is correct. You will receive an email containing instructions on what to do. Your email address needs to be verified before you can send your application to us.

We need your email address so that, once we have processed your application, we can send emails alerting you to changes to the status of your application, including decisions made by your chosen colleges or universities.

Your email address will be seen by UCAS and the universities and colleges, so please make sure that it does not cause offence.

Nominated access

If you are likely to be away at any time during the application period, for example on a gap year, you may wish to appoint someone to act for you who can make decisions on your behalf in your absence and with whom we can discuss your application if necessary.

On your application, we ask you to enter the name of the person you appoint and their relationship to you. Parents, other relatives and guardians would be obvious choices.

This section of your application is not compulsory - you do not have provide details if you do not wish to nominate anyone.

Please remember that universities and colleges have their own policies for discussing applications with third parties.
