I haven't received any emails or anything from UOM at all today. Is that normal?

Hi. Got my A level results this morning and I got exactly what I needed for pharmacy at Manchester. Yippee. I have received multiple emails from ucas congratulating me and advertising me accommodation I can't afford lol, yet there isn't anything from Manchester directly in my inbox. Has anybody else received anything?

Thanks :smile:

Hi thanks. I think if I haven't received one by the morning I'll consider sending an email or phoning. I honestly can't wait until september. 🙂 See you then

Hi still nothing. I'm thinking they must have some problem so I'm going to wait until around noon. If I still haven't received anything, I'll email them.

Hey! Totally normal to take some time to receive an email - they're super busy with clearing, sending over new applicant details to relevant university support teams etc. so it may take a bit of time.

You're more than welcome to send them an email just to confirm everything today, but as they're so busy it make take some time to respond to that one as well, so please don't worry!

If you haven't heard from them by Monday I'd give them a quick call just to double check you're in the system, the phone lines should have calmed down from Clearing by then.

Congratulations on getting into UoM! :hugs: How are you/have you been celebrating?

If you're wanting reassurance then I'd say ring them up. Ask "am I supposed to have received an email from you, it hasn't come though" and go from there.

Normally I'd be advising people to be patient and wait for them to contact you but I have a very very vivid memory of this bit when I got my results and technical issues for me meant that I don't feel comfortable just saying "be patient".

However, I would definitely say that you sending them an email means you are then in the same place as you were before - waiting for them to email you. Ringing them up gives you a quick answer and peace of mind.

Hi thanks for the advice. I'll definitely try ringing them in a bit. I'm also going to check my IT account because their website says it is used to complete outstanding admissions processes. If I still haven't received anything over the weekend then I will give them a call. Its good to know that it is just because they are very busy.

For StrawberryDreams: I had a nice dinner yesterday with my family but that's about it. I didn't do anything with my friends because a lot of them were a bit stressed with clearing unfortunately.
