Hi, I recently was given an unconditional offer from a university, and I accepted it straight away.
The problem lies were I have not long been out of prison, therefore I still have a spent conviction. I disclosed all this information on my original university application, so on my part I have done no wrong.
Anyway, I went to enrol and they told me they could not enrol me due to having a conviction and that they was unaware of this.
Are they aloud to do this? I completed an essay and got accepted for student finance, literally everything done properly and all ready to start, they gave me the unconditional offer, I accept; then when I go to enrol I get this. Are they allowed to do this as I am under the assumption when i accepted I entered into a contract with the university, it confirms this on my confirmation letter. They also are aware that I did disclose it on my application, I'm truly devastated as I looked at this university course as my door to moving on with my life and leaving my **** past where it belongs, in the past.
Does anyone have any advice, or know any answers. Thanks.
