providing AS grades for UCAS

i was wondering if you have to provide your AS grades when applying through UCAS. i mean is it compulsory or can u withhold grades and if yes will it affect your chances of an offer from unis

you can decline them so you dont have to show them- you have to decline if you want to resit anyway, but if that happens, decline them all otherwise it looks sus. So basically the answer is yes, you can withold them. You'll get all the forms/ the option to decline grades on results day :smile:

There are rumors that now (as in next September), all AS/A-level retakes that you've done need to be on your UCAS application. Some schools say its a rumor, others say its the truth. I don't know what to believe...

You can decline your grades so you don't have to put them on your UCAS form, but if it's not your school's policy to do so, unis will know you didn't do as well as you'd hoped and are resitting. It probably won't matter though because loads of people do it and still get offers from good unis.
