My daughter has accepted a deferred place, but would like to start the course this year. What can she do?
Your daughter can speak to the university or college where she's accepted the deferred place, to ask if they would be willing to change the start date to this year. The course may already be full, but places can become available throughout the year, particularly during Clearing. Therefore, she can ask if they'll consider her should a place become available. If the university or college agree to the change, they will contact us and we'll let your daughter know.
