Independently applying UCAS

So i’am currently filling out my ucas application which i am doing independently. I am using my old account but i thought that i would need to pay again for another application?- it hasent given me anything like this

Also, i am currently in year 1 at another uni. Is the highest level of qualification i expect to have before my course starts ‘below honours degree level’ or ‘no qualification’.
Would i add that i am in year 1 in my education part and put pending-i would also need to put a start and end date but iam gonna drop out if i get into another uni so what would my end date?

You should be prompted to pay at the end when as submit the application.

It'll be below honours, (ie. your A-Levels or equivalent), because you won't be awarded anything from your current uni if you are successful and take up a place elsewhere.

Yes, list the current study in your education section with no grade, (I think you can add 'no award' in the qual title). Put the end date that you expect to withdraw if you are successful, it just needs to be approximate.

Yeah, that'd be fine, if you have space I'd probably enter is something like 'BSc Biochem (leaving with no award)' or similar. Depends how many characters you've got to play with.

Yes you can! The order is pretty much up to you, as you can only send it in when your application is at 100%

You can approach whoever you are asking whenever, yes, (and I am assuming that you are applying independantly rather than via a school/college), but they'll only be prompted to upload it after you submit the app.

Better to give them as much heads up as possible though.
