So I applied for sociology and criminology on the phone later I received an email and this is what stood out to me:

"We are pleased to make you a verbal offer of a place to study on the following course:

BA (Hons) Sociology and Criminology Full-time"

The problem is they gave me an online form to complete so I'm confused, they might update it after they've seen the form

Did the form say something about Record of Prior Acceptance or RPA anywhere?
That's the form they'd send to applicants who don't have a UCAS application at the moment

Hi @DaVader

Did you get this sorted?

If you didn't, I would recommend sending the admissions team an email to confirm the offer and the use of wording in the email.

Here's the email address: [email protected]

If you're still having trouble, feel free to reply and I can see if I can help.
