    Conditional Offers
    Hi everybody,

    I have gotten a conditional offer which is now my firm choice. Since I can send in the proof of meeting the requirements until August 31st, I was wondering when exactly I will know whether or not I am actually accepted and be able to study at the university (the course will start in September). Does anyone know if I'll get a response before (e.g. in July) or after August 31st?

    Thanks for your help!

    Track will be updated when the universities receive your grades, which will probably be around results day.

    Universities get your results a day before you will, your UCAS Track should update on results day

    Since I am from outside the UK, I will send my grades to the universities personally. What effect will that have on the time I will know if I'm actually accepted though I have not met the requirements?

    Ah, well then they will just get back to you after they receive them. If you haven't met the conditions it may take longer as they compare you with other missed offers. I would guess a few days up to a week or two, depending on how long it takes for them to receive your results.

    Results day is a Thursday and unis get the A level results on the previous weekend, so 4-5 days before applicants :yes:

    Does Ucas track change on Results day or can it change few days before?

    Just one more question - Hypothetically:
    I already have a firm conditional offer. Next I'll apply for accommodation and for financial funding. Say, I'll get accepted by the university but I've changed my mind and don't want to go there anymore. Could I still withdraw my application and not have to pay for accommondation?

    Yes. Nobody will force you to go to university. Unless you withdraw after term starts, it shouldn't cost you anything. Once you've enrolled, it's a different story.

    It's different for each university, but around the start of September.
