How long does Adjustment last?

 

How do you use Adjustment?

You need to contact university admissions offices directly to ask about vacancies.

 

Unlike Clearing, there's no comprehensive list of vacancies available for those going through Adjustment, so you must call directly and make sure you have your UCAS number at hand. Tell the admissions office you're applying through Adjustment and you're only researching course vacancies. Once you're sure of a course you want to switch to, you can verbally agree to an offer with them.

 





If the institution wants to accept you, they'll update your UCAS Track with a new choice and send you a confirmation later. Remember to only verbally accept one offer.

 

We strongly recommend during this stressful and busy time that you don't make hasty decisions to adjust or upgrade. Think carefully before you register for Adjustment, as higher entry requirements don’t always equal more enjoyment.

 

How long does Adjustment last?

Adjustment is available for a maximum of five days from A Level results day, but there are exceptions.

 

Eligible students have to register for Adjustment and will have a maximum of five calendar days to register and secure another course. However, University of Cambridge offers a very small window of opportunity with their lines open for just five hours on results day, so if you think you may get better grades than predicted check the Adjustment window for your preferred British university before results day.

 

By going through Adjustment, do you forfeit your place at your CF choice university?

No. While looking for a place through Adjustment, you keep your existing university place.

 

If you don’t find anything, you’ll keep the place you already have. You only lose this place once you've confirmed you want to go elsewhere and your new university of choice adds itself to your UCAS Track.

Welfare

You haven't achieved the grades needed for your chosen university course and you're feeling very disheartened. What should you do?

Stay positive! You have a number of options.

 

There’s time for you to find an alternative course via Clearing, to resit exams or take a year out and re-apply for entry next year. Take a look through the other Clearing FAQs and read the advice on applying.

 

You might want to consider asking your first-choice university what you can do over the coming year to make a successful application for next year, such as volunteer work, work experience or simply better grades.

 

You need to be flexible, but not desperate. Make sure any course you choose is right for you. You need to be happy on the course and at the university, so don't feel under pressure to accept the first offer you get.

 

While it's important to stay positive, you should try to be realistic – particularly if you're considering changing subjects. Make sure you carry out any more research needed. Consider attending some open days and interviews offered by universities to Clearing applicants.

Foundation Stage Profile and Baseline Assessment

  In 2002 statutory baseline assessments were replaced by the foundation stage profile. Some schools continue to use both. The purpose of base-line assessment (usually carried out during the first term in the reception year) was to enable the reception teacher to plan their teaching to match individual children's needs and eventually to judge the child's progress against this initial baseline assessment. The basic skills of speaking and listening, reading, writing, mathematics and personal and social development are assessed. The Foundation Stage Profile has 13 summary scales covering the six areas of learning, which have to be completed for each child in state education by the end of his or her time in the foundation stage. The areas of assessment are: Personal, social and emotional development (how the child works, interacts and cooperates with others) Communication, language and literacy (listening, speaking, reading and writing skills) Mathematical dev...

Homework and Grades

  According to the world university rankings compiled by the Times Higher Education, more than half of the world’s top 200 universities are located in either the US or the UK. Both countries share a rich tradition of quality higher education, excellent research facilities, and a culture that promotes intellectualism as well as academic freedom. However, while both certainly provide an excellent environment for learning, there are many differences between the two countries regarding the structure of the university as well as student life. In this article, we will explore the primary differences between the American and British systems of education.   Length of Time Perhaps the most important difference between the education system in the US, and the UK, is the amount of time it takes to finish your degree (except in Scotland, where a bachelor’s degree also lasts four years). In general, degree programs in the US take about one year longer than programs in the UK, although...
