I don't think he can withdraw without your permission. @harrysbar @PQ

Providing you are 18 (or will be when you attend), I dont think your parent can just withdraw you on your behalf. I would contact the uni tell them to ignore his communication and change your 3rd party contact to your mother.

im not eighteen im seventeen arghh

im not eighteen im seventeen arghh

Will you be eighteen if you start? Will you be relying on your dad for financial support at all?

Well id immediately change the contact perhaps to your mother, call the uni and tell them your mum is your legal guardian (assuming she is or at least is jointly) and to ignore his communication.

Even if your father is listed as a nominated contact, it is very unlikely a uni would withdraw your application on his request with no confirmation from you.

To be certain, I would contact both UCAS and your Firm & Insurance places and ask them to remove his as a contact. That will prevent them from discussing your application with any other party. You could also ask for a them to add a note about your situation and confirm that should not be taking instructions from anyone apart from you.

If you are especially paranoid, you might also remove your mother as a named contact, (in case he has access to her emails and can send messages from her account).

omg HOW how do i do this i will do it rn how do i change the contact

i'm not eighteen until april, and i'm not relying on my dad for financial support cuz he refuses to help so im depending on my mum and her family, and im in the process of tryna apply for some aid

how exactly would i tell them about my situation its pretty brazen isnt it, i understand that id email but gah im panicking, what would i say!

This doesn't make sense.. how can you be 17 and have already applied to universities? As far as i know early deadlines are in october and you'd need to be in year 13 but you've only just turned 17 in april... did you get your predicted already???

You can call UCAS to make changes to your application via:

UK number 0371 468 0 468
International number +44 330 3330 230

For the two Uni's, I would call them via the undergraduate admissions numbers on their websites. They may ask you to confirm via email also, but call first if at all possible.

No need to panic, as above I don't think he can affect your offer now even if he tried.

Just summarise your first post above in your email/call; your parents are separated and you've been made aware that your father might try to withdraw your application. You want to remove him as a named contact (if he is listed), and add a note about the same if possible.
