Admissions Procedures - UCAS
1.101. The following scheme is used for
grading forms:
1.102. R - Rejection.
This decision is made on academic grounds,
based on the selection criteria agreed for the programme. It
is recognised that in heavily over-subscribed faculties, where
entry is highly competitive, some very able and well-qualified
candidates may have to be rejected.
1.103. U - Unconditional Offer.
This decision indicates that an unconditional
offer is to be made without interview. Such an offer should
only be issued when a candidate has met all academic and
non-academic requirements based on the selection criteria agreed
for the programme.
1.104. C - Conditional Offer.
This decision indicates a conditional offer is
to be made without interview. The academic or other
conditions required by the faculty should be noted on the
application form.
1.105. I - Interview.
This indicates that the candidate is to be
called to attend for an interview as per the selection criteria
agreed for the programme. After the interview the form must
be re-graded U, C or R.
1.106. Under the
UCAS
scheme,
applications received at
UCAS
by the
closing date (15 January or 24th March for Art &
Design Courses) must all be given equal consideration. In practice,
this means that a programme must not run out of offers prior to
receiving the last of the on-time applications received at
UCAS
