Next steps for your undergraduate application

You'll receive emails and other correspondence from us over the coming months. These will include useful information on topics such as accommodation, student life, student finance and how to enrol.

With your application submitted you might be wondering what comes next.

When you complete your application, you'll receive an email from us asking you to validate your email address.

If any of your contact details change, it’s important you let us know as soon as possible so we can keep in touch.

Please let us know if you change any of the following:

Address

Phone number

Email address

Name

If you applied through UCAS, then the easiest way to make changes to your contact information is to update your details through UCAS Hub (previously UCAS Track). All updates are then shared with every university you’ve applied to.

If you applied directly to us through our online application system, then please email our Admissions Team with any changes to your details.

Please include your university registration number in all correspondence. This can be found at the top of any letter or email that you have received from us.
If you are invited to an interview or audition you will be emailed with more details about how to book your place.

We know interviews can be nerve-wracking, but we want to make your experience an enjoyable one. By viewing your work and meeting with you we can assess your suitability for the course. And, it is a good opportunity for you to ask questions to make sure we're right for you.

You can read more about interviews and auditions on our dedicated page.
There are two main types of offer:

Conditional offer:
An offer to study here that is based on you meeting certain requirements, or conditions. These conditions are usually academic, and we will normally specify the grades you need to confirm your place.

Unconditional offer:
This offer means that you’ve already met the conditions required to study here, so the place is yours if you want it.

You can find full details about the conditions of your offer on UCAS Hub (if you applied via UCAS). Please make sure you read and understand these.

Important information

As part of our dedication to safeguarding individuals and providing a safe environment for all, we ask all applicants who have accepted a place with us if they have relevant unspent criminal convictions obtained in the UK or other jurisdiction.

The University of Central Lancashire is a diverse environment, which brings people into contact with each other in a wide variety of ways. The University community includes students who are children (those under the age of 18) and vulnerable adults.

We have a duty to safeguard these groups of individuals, as well as a duty to provide a safe environment in which our staff can work and all of our students can study and where relevant, live.

We ask so that we can consider the implications of any convictions, assess any risks to you or others within the University environment and determine whether we can reasonably manage any risks to enable you to take up your place here.

Having a relevant unspent conviction is not an automatic barrier to accepting your place. If you accept an offer the University will ask you to disclose details about relevant unspent convictions and supporting information.
