Change choice of course from same university?
Hello, yesterday I received my welcome letter from UCAS, checked the course codes for each university and found that one of my universities has increased its grade requirements. On the UCAS website, I believe it will allow me to change my choice of course within the 7 day limit. However, I will need to contact the university directly (not within UCAS). What are the chances of the university (Queens Belfast-business management) changing my course choice to either another course (Business economics)/or another university based on the fact I wont be able to meet the entrance requirements? Thank You.

If you want to change the course but not the university, you simply e-mail the university's (the one you applied to) admissions department and ask them to change it to what you want. They will do it, as within the 7 days this is not something they choose to do or not to do. I changed my course at St Andrews this way(Original post by emmakh123)
you could use track and substitute the choice instead. contacting the university directly is only required after the 7 day limit afaik.
If you want to change the university though (regardless of course staying the same or not), then you simply do it through UCAS - open the choice, click substitute choice, and select the uni & course you want. I did that as well, changing to Stirling from Bristol
Hope this makes it clear!
