FAQs for your students going to university in September
Most UK university applications through UCAS have a mid-January deadline for the following September entry. Some courses have earlier deadlines but at UoPL the deadline is mid January.
Universities typically respond between January and May. We reply quickly, while others may wait until close to the UCAS decision deadline in May.
Student finance applications usually open around February–March. Applying early ensures your funding is ready for September, even if you don’t yet have confirmed grades.
See more about student finance in our finance toolkit section below.
Most universities open accommodation applications between February and April. At UoP London we work with a range of accommodation providers that you can contact at any stage in the academic year. You can find out more information by visiting our accommodation page on our website.

Other options for your students
We'll help you navigate students changing their minds or not getting the grades expected.
UCAS Extra is useful if your student:
- Changed their mind since they submitted their UCAS application.
- Didn’t use all their five choices.
- Didn't get the offers they want.
- Wants to add another application.
Not getting the exam results expected can be stressful, but don't worry, if your student doesn't receive any offers or meet the conditions of their offers, they can still apply through Clearing.
Clearing is how universities fill any places they have left on courses, and thousands of students apply on results day. It's important to be prepared because the most popular courses fill-up quickly.
