Admin error on my UCAS application?
10
Hi all!
My UCAS application got sent out and I had moved houses, I called the UCAS phone number up to change my address and I just looked at my application again and it still says my current address is my old address but underneath it says my home address is the correct address - but they wrote down my postcode wrong.
I'm worried this will affect my application as though both the areas I live/lived in are eligible for a contextual offer, it might harm me in the future when I apply to things such as student finances.
I'm planning to call them first thing in the morning,,,
Any advice is appreciated!!
Thanks

I'm also not sure if my home address and current address are supposed to be two different addresses too - I'm pretty lost on what to do

Give them a call tomorrow to let them know. You can email your unis as well just to inform them.
Home address and current address can be different, but for the vast majority of people it would be the same. Do you have any special living arrangements?

I dont anymore, i just called them and they changed my home postcode correctly but my current address is still the same, the UCAS representative said it was okay but the reason on my UCAS application says its my permanent home? So i’m not sure if I’m in the clear now or should i contact them again
