Hi Flower,

According to UCAS' website, there is indeed a 14 day window from the point you submit your application where you can amend details of your application, including swapping/adding/removing course choices. It does not mention changing accom/commuter status but this is something you can check. It may be possible on UCAS but if not then this may be something you need to contact your unis about instead.

After 14 days, you can only make changes under exceptional circumstances which your school or counsellor should contact UCAS about - swapping courses within one of your choices may be possible if you ask the uni as soon as you can.

I would give it a go on your UCAS, but if for some reason it does not let you then you can reach them on 03714680468.

Does that help? Best of luck with it! 🙂

This tick box really doesnt matter - most Unis ignore it and send accom info to all Firm choice applicants.
As above, what box you tick here doesn't make any difference, you can still apply (or not) for campus accommodation.

Don’t worry, selecting “staying at home” on your UCAS application won’t stop you from applying for accommodation. You can still apply for university accommodation directly through the CCCU accommodation portal once applications open.
If you need any help with your accommodation application, the team can be contacted at [email protected], If you consider our university as an option.
