Applying
Discussing your application with others
In accordance with The Data Protection Act 1998 we must protect the information you disclose on any aspect of your application. In line with this legislation we are unable to discuss* any aspect of your application with a third party* unless we receive confirmation from you in writing stating your UCAS or Student identification number, course applied for, date of birth, details of the person(s) you wish to allow this privilege and a satisfactory reason why this is required. This does not mean that we will refuse to accept information from a third party with reference to your application but we will not disclose information without your permission.
Change of applicant's personal details
The Admissions Office is not in the position to share the applicant’s personal details with the requested third party. The details could be the applicants address or telephone number, date of birth or name of School. If the third party member believes these details are wrong the Admissions Office will not accept changes from anyone other than the applicant in writing.
Discussing your application
Once we have received confirmation from the applicant confirming the third party we will be able to discuss your application with them and give information on the following:
- Application offer
- Application decision
- Reason for unsuccessful decision
- Confirmation of letters/emails sent
Third party definition
A third party could be any of the following people:
- School teacher
- Tutor/Lecturer
- Careers adviser
- Parent/Guardian
- Friend
- Family member
All third parties must provide the applicant’s UCAS or Student identification number when dealing with the Admissions Team. If they cannot provide the number we will not be able to discuss the application at that time.
