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

In regards to the U grade confusion, I rang up UCAS on Friday and was told that I probably didn't need to enter my U grade as I did not receive a formal certificate for it, while for my other qualifications I did (I received them last year as they were for the June 2010 series).

That's just what I was told, it is clear from this thread that UCAS are a bit ambiguous on the whole matter. I'd advise ringing UCAS and telling them the circumstances surrounding your U grade, they should be able to give an answer.

EDIT: This was for my AS grades. I did not resit the U grade.

I'm now wondering if that UCAS statement is there to cover people who have older qualifications from the period when A levels were still A levels, you could get O (for O level pass), N (for nearly passed) and F (for fail) grades, and there was No Hiding Place (both in education and on television).

OMG you're old

That is all

I prefer to thing of it as approaching the prime of my life.

I'm taking Functional Skills IT in January 2012, what date to I put for it? The result is pending. But confused about the Date.

Oh, I've missed something. I can fill in more than 10 Modules, so I can type all of my subjects. But do I need to do it?

Enter the date of qualification 2012
Enter all subjects with the average grade that would be on the diploma (year 2011)

I'm still wondering how to enter my grades though, i'm not sure whether this method is the right one.

Zdravej : ) !

What some people do around here is the following:

Enter the date of qualification 2012
Enter all subjects with the average grade that would be on the diploma (year 2011)

I'm still wondering how to enter my grades though, i'm not sure whether this method is the right one.

Yes, you fill in all the Modules with your subjects and their year-end grades (Pending if you graduate this year, what you got otherwise), as this is what your predictions will be based on (e.g. they will ask for an average of 8). You can probably add the year-end exams as well but they are not as important as the grades since, as you probably know, they are not too difficult or indicative of high-level ability.

Well, I've tried to do something.. I have typed in all my grades for the last school year and then I put Qualification Date - July 2012. When I was trying to save all this stuff, I got a message that I filled my future marks, which is incorrect.

I assume you are finishing school in 2012, therefore, correctly, qualification date is July 2012. As a result, you cannot have the final grades - which is what UCAS is telling you in the message.

On UCAS you don't put in grades from last year, you enter your final grades. Since you don't have them yet (as you finish in 2012), predicted grades will have to be entered, which is done by your referee when they enter your reference. You have to thus, instead of entering 7 or 8 or whatever, select the grade as 'Pending' for each subject you enter.

Aah, thank you!
Do you know if there is a special form for my referee's predicted marks or should my referee mention all of them in the reference letter?

When the referee gets the link from you, the UCAS page they will be taken to will allow them to enter reference and enter predicted grades for all the subjects you've put as 'Pending'.
