Do I have to declare my U for UCAS?

I just received my certificate for my AS Levels. I took all my 4 AS levels from AQA and there were only 3 grades on the paper from 3/4 subjects I studied.

The grade missing was the subject I got a U on in RS. I don't know if it was a mistake or if it was because it was 'ungraded', so wasn't put down.

Its like I never even took the RS exam. Its like it never existed in the first place.

What should I do? Do I still have to declare the U for the uni application if it wasn't on my certificate?

I didn't declare mine and I was good. You probably should though, not worth the risk

Yeah you should declare that, it's very clearly stated by ucas that all grades should be declared, no matter how bad/irrelevant/old

Regulations have been tightened up in the last 2 years.

That's because it's a certificate. Like anything else, you only get a certificate for passing the subject - hence why your RS isn't on it. You wouldn't get a certificate for failing your driving test.

It doesn't change the fact that you did the subject and achieved a U. And big trouble can arise if you fail to declare all your results to UCAS.
