Referees

A lil help needed if possible :smile:

College haven't told me anything about how referees work... do they have to be included in our application or something or do colleges/schools etc sort this out themselves...?
And do we as students get to choose who we want as our referees...
Hhhmm....
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx in advance.

If your applying through a school/college, your reference is usually your head of year or teacher. At my school, each of my subject teachers writes me a reference and then teacher puts them all together to make one reference. Then when you send it, the teacher will add the reference and send it onto UCAS.

If your applying as an individual, you will need to get someone to write you a reference, which you then put in yourself.

By the sounds of it, your applying through college, in which case the reference is being sorted out by them. You could ask for a specific teacher to write it, but try not to offend anyone :smile:

Thats great thanx bonnie! :smile:

So basically I don't have to do anything... I just send off my application as it is?
