Declaring grades? URGENT! REPLY ASAP! U

Do you have to declare U's on UCAS?? PLEASE REPLY ASAP!!

You have to put in U grades on UCAS as it is a qualification you have sat and if you don't, your application can be taken off for being inaccurate. That's how I understand it, having gone through the process for 2017 entry.

Got it right!

Thank you, everyone! My head of 6th form seems to believe that you don't have to declare U grades on UCAS and that since I only have AS grades in half of my subjects, uni's will believe that I got a U in my other subjects and I'm just not declaring it, even though I havent sat any AS exams in my other subjects!

Have they mentioned that your AS grades need declared independently of the A-level ones, and repeated on the A-level if modular?

Good! I'd hope so, seeing as I'm holding an offer from a uni conditional on my grades and I can't really lose that! Thankfully, I did actually declare all my grades on my application (even the E in psych AS)

They said I have to declare my AS grade in Psychology but I am continuing it as an A-Level so it will be overided by that anyway. Basically they said because I dont have AS qualifications in any of my other subjects it will look like I got U's in them and just dont want to declare it because apparently you dont have to declare U's on UCAS according to head of 6th form.

If Psychology is still modular, the AS grade makes up your A-level grade. Have a look at the declaring grades FAQ on here as well.

No its not modular! Is there anywhere official that says that I have to declare U grades so i can show my teahcer?

It will be on the UCAS website somewhere, but I'm not sure exactly where.

I got a U for Chemistry AS and then dropped the subject. I didn't declare this grade but wish I did! It caused no ends of problems once I received my offers.. no uni could give me an unconditional offer because there was a message flagging on my account saying that I had incomplete grades. Even though I had the required UCAS points they couldn't do anything until my U appeared on the system. This took about a week to resolve and at that point I had missed the deadline to respond to my 1st choice and accommodation was full for my next choices and the only uni left was my back up.

If I was you, I'd declare the U to avoid future problems

Lol I dont have any U's but my head of 6th form said it might look like I do when I take AS qualifications in only half my subjects and then it'll look like I didnt declare the rest of my AS qualifications coz I got U's when in reality I just didnt take any others.

Ignore them, they evidently don't know what they're doing in terms of this, if you don't declare all certificated qualifications, you can either get your offers revoked, or get thrown out of Uni.
P.S, what A-levels are you taking, as they may be primarily linear, and so the AS's don't matter so much as a qualification?

Yeah I've learnt to do my own research instead of trusting them.
Basically I'm doing Psychology, Biology and Law(this is AS and A2) and was doing English until I realised I would get a C and not get any offers from uni''s. After realising this I decided I want to drop english and pick Psychology up again which I already dropped and sat the AS in. Now after a long day at school with teachers being so annoying and rude I have eventually reached the solution that I will be continuing with both English and Psychology until results day this year at which point if I get a D or higher in my AS of Psychology I can continue with it. Why this matters I have no idea and to be honest the school look for any excuse to tell me no but after realising that I'm not gonna stop they have given me this option, so I thought this is the best I'm gonna get. Then my head of 6th form decides to tell me you dont have to declare U's in your AS's so when you only declare your psychology AS they will think you got U's in your other subjects coz you havent declared any AS's in them. Far-fetched much? The fact that uni's will assume grades lol. I contacted UCAS and they said uni's wouldnt assume annything like that so shows how far-fetched her lie was. Now I have 2 option: email her the picture I took of my convo with UCAS and tell her she was wrong or wait until results day where I get higher than a D in Psychology and tell her I am dropping english now if that's okay with you.




Sorry for the long message I felt like ranting.
