UCAS won't send reference request to referee

Hey everyone,

I am an international student and I have asked one of my teachers to write me a reference and he agreed to it. I have filled in everything in my application, but when I try to click on the 'request reference' button, nothing happens. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!:smile:

Did you set up your application using a buzzword?
Hi, this happened to me and i called UCAS.

It eventually worked, i had to click the 'request reference' over 10 times for it to confirm. It seems to be a problem for many people but i promise you it works when you spam the button

Okay, I'll try this, but so you get some kind of message when it's sent right?

I clicked about 300 times when I lost hope, but then it suddenly did work :biggrin:
Thank you

No problem :rolleyes:
I'm having the same problem, I was clicking the button for about 15 minutes last night but still nothing is happening. Do I just have to keep clicking?
What should show up when you click the button?
I'm facing the exact same issue , so i just keep clicking it?

you gotta click that button like your life depends on it.
i asked ucas and they told me to do this and it works. "If you can please try removing the referee details and then re adding those, then select the option for 'request reference' but do not select 'save draft', that should then send that one for you."
