Declaring Grades on UCAS Applications **UPDATED for 2014-15**

If you got a grade U, do you have to declare it?

No

Do I put the AS grades in as separate AS grades even if I am doing the subject to A2.

You definitely do if you are re-sitting it, and you may have to even if you aren't. UCAS guidance on this is ambiguous.

If you had read the first post in this thread you would see that you do.

Presumably, if you are doing a BTEC, you would have this. If you aren't, you don't need to worry about it.

I did 2 BTEC qualifications at GCSE, so I declared them, and then a 'warning' came up saying 'BTEC registration number required' and I have NEVER heard of one :/ These were at my old school so do you think if I rang them they'd have it?

I'd ring them up and see.

Ok Ill do that.

Im not allowed to just completely leave them out of my application right? Because that's what my tutor thinks.... but I disagreed?

Hi. I'm starting uni (year 1) in October but I want to apply for another course in UCAS 2014. Should I add my current university, the modules I take and predicted grades into the section of education? If so, how can I do it?

Hi. I'm currently at a sixth form in N. Ireland where cashing in is not mandatory. I achieved 4 A's at AS, however my results slip only gave me module results and the total out of 300 for each subject was in hand writing.

I wish to apply to medicine this year and am looking at uni's such as leeds and brighton who consider AS grades a better indication of ability rather than GCSE's.

From looking at this link it appears my AS results will therefore have to be cashed in to be considered.

Should I therefore assume that I would need to go about getting these cashed in before my UCAS deadline goes off? I understand I can enter module grades and leave the entire a level qualification as pending but it seems that it would be a better idea to get these cashed in as I'm applying to English uni's only and all english state schools seem to be forced to cash in.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thank you.

Also can I repeat a module or two if I cash in and then recash in next summer again?

oh wow
what happens if ucas finds out that you didnt include previous results?

will they stop you from going to university because you lied?

How would a retake be shown if there is a space for only 6 modules? Especially if it doesn't count to an AS level, but instead part of an incomplete A level...
And since it is an A2 module, would I say I got an A* in it of I get 90 plus, or still A as I did it during AS?

The A* only applies to the whole A level, not to module grades, whether taken at AS or A level.

If you are resitting a certificated qualification, you enter it again as a pendng qualification. If the module in question is part of an as yet uncertificated qualification, you don't need to enter anything other than the module title at this stage.

Why bother starting this year if you are going to apply elsewhere for next year? It's pointless. However, if you do decide to go down this route, you will have to enter the fact that you are studying at a university and what course you are doing. Predicted grades don't come into it.

You can enter module grades even if the AS itself hasn't been cashed in. If it's your school's policy not to cash in, they should say so in the reference.

UCAS won't, but the uni might.

Yes you should. http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2177589&p=40298338#post40298338 explains how to add modules.

You have to add your university in the same way as you add your school/sixth form as a place of study.

In your case I'd suggest listing all of the modules you're doing with pending (it gives the unis you're applying to a feel for the structure of your course).

HOWEVER: as Minerva says above applying for another university before you've even STARTED in your first year is not going to impress any university that you apply to.

If you want to start at the new universities from scratch then you'd be better placed to take a gap year, do some retakes if you want to boost your A level grades, take some OU and coursera modules in your subject to keep your interest up and generally use the gap year well to earn some money and get a better knowledge of your subject.

If you're hoping to transfer into year 2 of the new university(ies) then you really shouldn't be applying until December at the earliest. By December you should
a) have got to know your tutor so that you can get an academic reference from your current uni
b) have got some work marked so that you and your tutor will have a decent background to talk about your current study and ability
and
c) have a much clearer idea of which areas of degree level study in your subject interest you so that you can apply specifically to courses that will allow you to focus on these areas.

So, I scraped 80 percent in M2, and I'm retaking it, then I just need to enter it once as pending?

do you need to enter all the units you have taken?

Hi, I just wanted to check something. I'm applying for medicine for entry in 2014 and I don't want to declare my unit grades due to a very bad grade in mechanics. Can I just declare my overall AS grades as AAAB but not enter any modules?

I'm retaking mechanics so would I put:
AS Mathematics B June 2013 (certified), then
AS Mathematics June 2014 (pending)

You can, but would be well advised not to. Especially as you are retaking, it is in your interests to declare all your module grades so that the uni can see the good ones as well as the blip.

they can only assume that I got a bad grade in a maths module which would be correct anyway so surely I have nothing to lose?
