Predicted Grades External Student

I am going through UCAS with my old college and they are providing me with learning and assessment resources so that I can complete A maths this year.

Will a predicted grade and reference from them be seen differently because I'm not fully enrolled there anymore and have selected exam only on UCAS?

Thank you

Hi there,
That’s absolutely fine!
Universities understand that some applicants complete additional qualifications independently or through their previous college as an external (exam-only) student.
As long as your college is able to provide an official predicted grade and a reference, it will be treated in exactly the same way as if you were fully enrolled.
Just make sure the details on UCAS clearly show the qualification, awarding body, and your centre’s information so your application can be verified smoothly.
If you’re unsure about how to enter it on UCAS, your college’s exams officer or UCAS adviser should be able to help.
Hope that helps! 😄
