Firm choice changed

Original post by amaanzaman

i chose to study business as my firm choice and had a conditional offer, and today they have changed the offer so now i have an unconditional but i have to do a foundation year when i don’t want to, what shall i do?

You can either accept the change in course or decline it and go to your insurance.

They've done this because unfortunately you didn't meet the conditions for your original offer. You're under no obligation to do the course with a foundation year if you don't want to. If you'd prefer then you can look for another course in clearing instead.

So is there no way i can still go to this university without doing a foundation year? and if i went into clearing would my other offers still be there? because my insurance choice offered me what i wanted from my firm choice so i’m not sure yet

You don't have to accept the alternative course if you don't want to. As this has been offered as an alternative course you have the option of going to this uni with the foundation course or if your insurance has also becoming unconditional firm you can choose to go there instead. If your insurance has rejected you,you can instead choose to go into clearing to make a new choice.
Hope that makes sense :smile:

Thank you, so is there no way of me going to my preferred university without having to do the foundation year? and if i went into clearing would all of my other offers be declined or anything?

You can contact them to discuss it, but unfortunately they've already had your results for a few days so have had time to consider people who narrowly missed the grades. It's unlikely that they'll change their mind unless there are circumstances that they're not aware of.

You can only enter clearing if you currently hold no offers, so you would have to ask both your firm and insurance choice unis to withdraw.

Also, would i be able to do a different course in the university i want to go to? for example Since my firm choice offered me a foundation year, could i still look for other courses in this university without foundation years ?

I'm afraid if your firm uni have offered you a foundation course, you won't be accepted to go for the course without the foundation year.

So your options are:

1. Accept this place

2. Decline and go for your insurance choice if they have accepted you

3. Ask to be placed into Clearing and go for courses that are available there

Good luck with your decision :smile:

If those courses are in Clearing, then yes you can look at those. You may also be transfer directly (without going through Clearing) if you contact the university, but I can't promise that.

Yes - you can't be holding an offer to be eligible for Clearing. You need to ask your uni to put you into Clearing
