Undergraduates
After applying
Once you have replied to your offer(s), there are a couple of things you need to do.
Receiving your results
We know how much effort you’ve put into your studies, and Results Day is usually a time to celebrate your achievements. However, if things don’t quite go as expected, it’s important to be prepared and know your options.
Results Day
On Results Day, you’ll collect your grades from your school or college; make sure you know their process in advance, as it can vary between institutions. The University of Leicester cannot provide your grades directly, so it’s important to get them from your school or college first.
When you log into the UCAS Hub, you’ll be able to see whether you’ve been accepted by your firm or insurance choice university.
What happens next?
What happens if you have met the conditions of your offer?
Congratulations! Your place has been confirmed and we’ll send you all of the information you’ll need about your next steps and registration. Go and celebrate with your friends and family!
What happens if you just miss your offer?
If you don’t quite meet the conditions of your offer on Results Day, there’s no need to panic. Through our near miss process, we’ll automatically review your application. This means we’ll check if there are any places available on the course and we may still consider offering you a place, even if you’ve narrowly missed the required grades. You don’t need to do anything. Once we receive your results, we’ll assess your application and update your status on UCAS. If we need any further information, we’ll be in touch.
What if I want to defer my place or change my course?
Whether you decide during the application process or on Results Day that you’d like to defer your place by one academic year or change your course, please contact our Admissions team on admissions@le.ac.uk or +44 (0)116 252 5281.
What is Clearing?
If Results Day doesn’t go exactly as you hoped, don’t worry, everything will be okay. If you don’t secure a place at your firm or insurance choice universities, you’ll automatically enter Clearing.
Clearing is the process that connects students without a confirmed place to universities that still have spaces available. It’s a helpful way to find another course and secure a university place if your results weren’t quite what you expected.
Who can use Clearing?
You can use Clearing if:
- You didn’t receive any offers, or didn’t accept the ones you received
- You didn’t meet the conditions of your firm or insurance offer
- You’ve changed your mind about what or where you want to study
- You’re applying for the first time after main cycle and UCAS Extra applications have closed.
It’s a great opportunity to explore your options and secure a place at a university that’s right for you.
