Changing unis after accepting offer

If I have offers from all my 5 unis and I accepted one but changed my mind, can I accept another unis offer instead? How do I change what uni I’m going to?

If you are referring to accepting the uni on results day, it's a very difficult process so you'd probably have to contact the university and then contact UCAS. You'd have to do this ASAP so think very wisely about what you want beforehand.

If you are referring to the time after you've firm and insured, you have two weeks from the date you've firm and insured to contact UCAS and ask them to change your firm or insurance choice.

If it was less than 14 days then you should be able to make the change on UCAS Hub.
If it was longer then ring UCAS. Many universities will have given UCAS blanket agreement to all reply swaps.
If either of the universities concerned haven’t given blanket agreement then UCAS will let you know and you’ll need to contact them (ring first to make sure you’re emailing the right address) to ask them to send agreement through to UCAS.
It’s a pretty simple and straightforward process but it can take a couple of weeks if you need to contact universities for agreement. So best not to wait too long to start ringing.
