How to accept your offer

UCAS Hub is the way you can reply to all of your offers. UCAS also have detailed information on how to reply to your offers.

You don't need to reply to any offers until all five of the universities or colleges you applied to have notified you of their decisions. Depending on when this takes place, you will have from one to five weeks to respond.

Your choices and replies

There are three different replies you can make:

You are unable to go back and choose your firm and insurance choices when you get your results. Therefore, make sure you are happy with your firm and insurance choices when you reply.

Deferral

The University will usually accept applications more than 12 months before the date of admission if there are good reasons – for example, if you will be gaining relevant work experience, spending time abroad to improve your languages, or need to obtain a university place before being considered for industrial sponsorship. You should indicate your preferred start date on your application form if you would like a deferred start date.

You can request deferral through our enquiry form. Please include your full name and University of Nottingham ID number. The deadline to defer your offer to 2024 is one day after the latest date to register. For undergraduate courses this will be 17 October 2023.

Requests for deferral will be approved at the discretion of the academic school or department. The maximum period allowed for deferral is one academic year. Please note that your academic qualifications must be valid at your revised start date. For offer holders whose first language isn’t English, your English Language qualifications/tests must also be valid at your revised start date.
