A forum section has been introduced for all advisers registered to use Apply. It is accessed through the Forum link in Apply.
Only advisers and some UCAS staff members can access the forums. You can use them to discuss all aspects of the application process, to pose questions to other advisers, or to raise awareness of changes, upcoming events or impending deadlines.
You will be logged into the forums automatically from Apply. The system uses your Apply login details to identify you. If you post a message in one of the forums, your Apply username will be displayed next to the message.
The homepage displays the forum topics available for advisers. Click on a forum title to view a list of current discussions within the forum. Then click on the title of the discussion topic to read all comments made by other advisers and add your own comments.
At the top of the page there is a search link, which you can use to search for specific terms or phrases. You can search all forums or a specific discussion topic.
You can start a new topic within one of the forums already listed on the index page. Click on the forum name, then click on the 'new topic' symbol. In the 'subject' field enter your new topic and add a description in the 'message body'. Click on 'submit' to post your new forum topic.
If you wish to start a new forum, please contact the Schools Team on 0845 123 8001 (or 0044 845 123 8001 from outside the UK) who will consider your request. Calls from BT landlines will cost no more than 9p per minute. The cost of calls from mobiles and other networks may vary.
UCAS staff members can post announcements on the forums. These announcements will be displayed at the top of each topic and can be about anything related to Apply and the application process. If you have a topic that you think should be an announcement, please contact the Schools Team who will consider your request.
