Uni offers

Your son or daughter will be notified by post if they are successful in receiving an offer for a university place. The offers can also be viewed on the UAC website and are published in newspapers.

If your son or daughter does not get a main round offer, they will be automatically considered again in the late round and final rounds, provided there are still places available in the courses they have listed.

There are options if your son or daughter doesn't receive an offer.

Accepting or deferring the offer

When your son or daughter receives an offer letter, there will be instructions in the envelope telling them how to accept the place.

If your son or daughter decides they need more time before starting university, they can ask the university to ‘hold’ their place for a year. This is called deferring. There will be instructions in the envelope telling them how to defer their place.

If your son or daughter doesn’t accept or defer one of the offers by the date stated in the offer letter, they will lose any places offered.
