ATAS (Academic, Technology, Approval Scheme) Certificate 2023/2024

Hello guys,I made mistakes on myATAS application,what should I do,should I email the ATAS team

Of course, you should e-mail. Topic must be like Ref 357900 - UPDATE ( put your reference number instead of 357900)

But I read on the website that states that the ATAS team will not reply to the query on an application that is not at least 20 working days old,so should I wait?

Changes to ATAS certificates:

· ATAS will no longer be amending certificates for the following reasons:

· Errors or omissions on the ATAS certificate (Given names, Date of Birth etc.)

· Changing course dates

· Changing course/subject titles

· Mistakes in passport numbers or dates



The responsibility is on the applicant and the universities/research institutes to ensure the information submitted in the application is correct.



· For changes to renewed passports, please email us a copy of both your old and new passport. We are unable to makes changes to passport information without this. Please re-send your email and include the following in the subject of your email:

· For any changes requested by the ATAS team to your applications including unemployment gaps - Please log back into the application, make the changes (E.g. add a new entry to confirm the dates you were not working) and resubmit your application to us so we can start to process it.



· If you are unable to resubmit your application after making the requested changes, please ensure you save the changes and go through each section until the end and the application says complete. You will then be able to resubmit your application.

Have not heard back yet. Applicant from India

Have you tried contacting your university and asking for their advice?

Yes university has written to ATAS on my behalf seeking an update.

Wish you the best. I'm currently in the anxiously waiting ship with you but I have been told by university multiple times to take it easy and just keep them informed about the process. They have acknowledged that delays are common and in my case the last date of joining the program is somewhere in the end of October. Based on this information and time taken to process a visa, I should have an ATAS by the end of September or else they'll have to defer my admission to the next intake if possible.
In short they have told me to relax and just keep the admissions team informed on every detail so that they can help me to the best of their abilities. What's your university?

Mine’s Royal Holloway University of London and yes they have told me the same

wow same uni same code, doubt we even in the same programme ;D Ref 353x, still waiting. They told me pretty much the same. Not having a specific timeline makes me anxious, but I hope we'll be fine. Wish you a good luck!

Likewise! My ref is 347xx. I have been enrolled for the PhD in Information Security Programme (CDT).

Same same. Hope to see you on campus in September then!

I applied on 7th April, but still no response. Im a research Ph.D. student in advanced mathematics. Should I send an email to them?

They just email me today (08/06/2023) for corrections to my application. They said that in the field "What will you be studying", they do not accept research statements written in the first person e.g. I, my. so I just copied the overview of my research project instead. Since my course starts in October , Im hoping that I get my ATAS in a few weeks.
