The (un)Official 2011/2012 Access to HE - First Year Uni Thread!

Scroll to see replies

Our tutors didn't say anything about a confirmation letter at all, just that we'll get out certificates "sometime" in August. But they don't know when. Oh well, hopefully as long as the moderators don't think my work was horrific in comparison to my grades, I should be going to Exeter to take geography :biggrin:

I've been getting really quite nervous lately that I'm just going to crash and burn at uni, be unable to keep up with any of the work and fail horribly...I suppose I'm lucky that the library is open 24/7 there; I've been quite excited about that XD No reason to say that I don't have enough time to study.

We got access to law results today. 60 credits at distinction! I've surpassed my offer so am definitely (wranglings with student finance aside) heading to University of Leeds to study law in September :-D

Hi everyone.
I have just completed my access to humanities and social science course with 60 distinctions. Today I received a commendation letter from my college and sent this to the University as my certificate and transcript are not due to arrive until August. I have just logged into track after receiving an email and it now states unconditional!!! So I will definitely be studying Psychology at University this September :smile:

I am still waiting as well, so impatient! My tutor, was great as a teacher his knowledge was phenomenal, but as a personal tutor not the most efficient, he has promised to get the letters out by this week, so anytime now!

My uni are chasing as well, and have set a deadline of 10 August (I suppose to get it out the way before A level results come through)

I've just completed my Access course (English, Writing, and Media) and will be studying Creative Writing at Shefiled Hallam in September. That's if they ever give me that illusive 'U' on UCAS. My tutor sent my results sheet to Hallam about three weeks ago now. I'm too impatient for this waiting game! I want to know which halls I'll be living in!

Guess it's back to refreshing hotmail like a maniac.

For those that are still waiting for their UCAS to be updated, it may be worth sending an email to the relevant admissions people asking them for an update. My college sent across my results and I emailed them too. It took about 4 days for them to unconditional me. :smile:

No. Access course results do not go through UCAS, they have to be sent direct to the university who will then inform UCAS.

We gave our tutor an address where we wanted our results sent (ie the admissions address for our first choice uni) but it seems lots of other people here have either posted or emailed their results themselves.

Our 'results' are just a transcript of what we have achieved on the access course, I think we get a proper certificate at some point which we will show the university when we enrol.

This seems a bit odd. As Jami74 said there's a copy of results produced pretty much right at the end of the course (just after the moderators have been given about a week to go over them). I sat with my tutor as she put my results together in an excel table and emailed the admissions people at uni. I then sent an email to the uni confirming my results had been submitted by my college. Four days later I had my unconditional.

I am pretty sure your results will be ready to collect. It's just the certificate that we will all have to wait for in August/September time after the exam board have checked over the course content itself and approved or made constructive comments on the tutoring :smile:
