    Ucas points/offer letter
    Right, long story short is I'm a third year college student with an conditional offer(280) and an unconditional as my insurance. So in my letter from both unis they didnt mention anything about actual grades. the conditional said i have to atttain 280 points, didnt mention grades or anything.

    at the moment I have

    A level media - b/100
    A level Business - C/80
    A/s computing - D/30
    A/s Photography - hopefully B/50
    A/s Art - Probably a e/u so 20/0
    Welsh bac - A/120

    so 380 points(providing I fail art) but only 260 minus welshbac (just because I think they might be picky and ask for subjects instead only but they said they accept it)

    So what I'm wondering is that even If I fail art , will I still be okay as I have more than enough points? its for a computer animation course btw. thanks +++

    Generally, it's either grades or UCAS points.
    If you're unsure, just email/phone the admissions department and ask if the Welsh Bac contributes to your overall UCAS points. Since they've said they accept it, I wouldn't worry too much but no harm in checking
