Can universities change their minds with contextual offers

Hi everyone, I’m in year 13 and recently university of Southampton gave me a contextual and EPQ offer for BBB which without the contextual and EPQ would be AAB. I’m just thinking if I did receive BBB in my A-levels and meet those conditions will Southampton withdraw or reject me? By the way my predictions currently are AAA and EPQ

Nope! Once they have given you an offer, they cannot withdraw it or change it. The only deciding factor on whether or not you receive a place is whether you get the grades, which I'm sure you will.

Ok thank you so much!

Hi @userXi

Congratulations on your offer!

As the previous poster mentioned, the University of Southampton can't change your offer once they have sent it out.

Best Wishes,

It is illegal for any university to change the offer that you will have met. Apart of financial issues, there is no reason for you to not be able to attend the school if you meet their conditional offer.
