hi! so i tried idp out a while ago and they asked for my ucas access, the lady there entered her details for nominated access,
now fastforward a few weeks, (havent submitted any apps yet btw), i have my doubts, should i continue with an idp agent for a nominated access??
would that negatively impact my application?
Thank you for any help! im just having second thoughts


Nominated access grants UCAS, and the institutions you've applied to, permission to speak to a named contact on your behalf (it also allows the named contact to make decisions for you). It's useful if you're going to be away/without a means of contact to UCAS/the unis. It wouldn't negatively impact your application per se, but of course please make sure you trust your named contact to be acting in your best interests.

Hey, I also have a question. Does that person see my whole application (especially my chosen universities)?

Hey guys! I have a big problem. I am done with my application and everything, but UCAS won't let me put in my choices. To be precise it doesn't recognise any course and its code! Does anyone have any information about this and a way to solve it (I tried logging in and out but it's not working)?

Thank you for replying! I called my friend and gave her my username and password (she is to be trusted) and she managed to put in all the courses. Before that I tried other devices but it still wouldn't work.

Hello sorry, I was meant to get back to you on this but was really busy. Given today is UCAS deadline day, I was disturbed that I hadn't gotten back to you.

It was probably a bug with you "hearting" the courses and then hub not letting you input it.
I'm glad (and relieved) that you were able to sort it. Best of luck!
