Buzzword not working
I'm a gap year student reapplying through my old college. However the buzzword that I was given isn't working. Do they become invalied after a period of time?

idk if this is a general thing, but at my old sixth form the buzzword was only valid for fifteen minutes.

I was given two choices, one with all lower case and the other all capitals, and neither are working.

I'd go and ask the college again if I was you. Explain that it's not working, and ask about the spelling, capital letters, numbers etc

Try doing it in capital letters using the shift button, and not caps lock - mine didn't work last year until I realised that it didn't like caps lock. 
Fussy old UCAS...

Fussy old UCAS...That's hilarious!
Sometimes, UCAS reminds me of a really fussy, cranky old person, who likes everything just-so, and refuses to accommodate your requests unless you do things their way.
