Admissions Procedures - Direct
3.151. Admissions will prepare results
files for consideration by the Selectors and will highlight the
following information for each applicant:
i. Outstanding
non-academic conditions which prevent a decision being made
ii. Outstanding academic
conditions such as GCSE which prevent a decision being made
iii. Year of entry other than current
year
3.152. Selectors will make decisions on
results in all cases where this is possible. In programmes of
study where offers exceed available places the Selectors will adopt
the following procedure:
i. Accept
all applicants who have met or exceeded the offer conditions
made
ii. Hold
all applicants who have not met the offer conditions
iii. Reject
all applicants who cannot meet the minimum entry requirement of two
A-levels or their equal.
iv. Total all
acceptances and calculate the number of places unfilled, taking
into account those with conditions outstanding but which are likely
to be met.
v. Accept applicants whose tariff score is closest to the
offer made and continue until all places are filled or it is
decided that applicants with higher qualifications might be found
during the Clearing process.
3.153. Selectors who do not have
sufficient offers to fill the available places allocated will
decide at what minimum tariff score they will accept applicants and
will confirm the places of all applicants up to this threshold
3.154. Selectors for under-subscribed
programmes of study will, wherever possible, confirm the place of
any applicant who has applied to the University and who can meet
the minimum entry requirement and any other specific entry
requirement.

documentation which will be posted first class through Royal
Mail.
