UCAS - Preparing for results

Preparing for results

If you're waiting for exam results that you need to get into university or college, be prepared for what happens next.

Know your login details for Track

Make sure you know your login details, as you'll need these to see if you've been accepted. Use the login reminder service on the Track page if you're not sure.

Be available

You need to be available when the results are published. You might have to make quick and perhaps difficult decisions about your future so be prepared to speak to universities and colleges yourself and not leave this to somebody else.

Check your contact details

Check that your personal details are correct in Track - we and the universities and colleges contact you by email, letter and sometimes by phone so make sure that we have your up-to-date details.

If you change your address, please arrange for your mail to be redirected in case letters have already been sent.

Making changes

If you want to make changes to your choices, check the making changes page which explains what to do.

Getting your results

We receive some exam results which we send to the universities and colleges. Check the list of exam results we receive to see if your results are listed. If your qualification is not listed, you need to send your results to the universities and colleges. Once they have your results, they will decide whether or not to confirm your place.

If you are taking Edexcel exams you can find out more information about your results and what you can do next on the Edexcel student website.

As soon as we receive a decision from one of your universities or colleges this will be displayed in Track.

You must meet the conditions of your offer by 31 August 2013 (for 2013 entry applications), unless otherwise agreed by the university or college. If you're taking a winter exam, the offer might ask you to meet the conditions by an earlier date.
