You meet the conditions of your firm choice

If you meet the conditions of your offer, as detailed in UCAS Hub, you do not need to contact us to confirm your place. You can use UCAS Hub to view the status of your application.

How we receive your results

We receive a number of results directly from the examining boards via UCAS.

Applicants who have taken the following qualifications do not need to send in confirmation of their results:

• A levels and AS levels
• BTEC
• International Baccalaureate
• Scottish Advanced Highers
• Scottish Advanced Highers
• Welsh Baccalaureate

Your results will be compared against your offers and you'll hear about your place through UCAS. You'll then receive pre-registration information directly from the University.

We receive the majority of results directly, but we will contact you if we haven't received your results (i.e. if you are a private candidate).

Is your qualification not listed above?

If you are taking a qualification other than those listed above, it is your responsibility to send your certificates and transcripts to us. You can upload scanned copies to our online application system, NottinghamHub. We can also accept high-quality photos as long as the document is an official transcript of your marks.

All results must be in English. If your documents need to be translated into English then you must send legally certified copies to us. Further advice for international and EU applicants is available on our international webpages.

You will need to bring original or certified copies of your qualifications with you when you register as a new student.

When we have received your results we will assess your qualifications and update your offer status. In some cases we may still be able to accept students who have narrowly missed the grades stated in your offer conditions, so please wait for us to assess your results.

If your results do not qualify you for your chosen course(s) – or if you want to change your study plans – you may be able to apply for another course through Clearing.

Email documents

Certificates and transcripts will be accepted by email only if they are sent by a school, college or one of our official overseas representatives. Copies should be sent to results@nottingham.ac.uk.

You have not been accepted by your firm choice

In this situation you might meet the conditions of your insurance choice. Your status will be updated in UCAS, and you'll then receive pre-registration information directly from the university.

If your status doesn't update in UCAS

Post documents

If you have already sent us documents in the post, travel restrictions within the UK mean that we are currently unable to process these. They will be held securely at the university and processed once these restrictions are lifted. To avoid delays to your application, please ensure that you have uploaded scanned copies (as detailed above).

You don't get the grades you expected

Firstly, check UCAS Hub to see whether you have been accepted by any of your choices. If you took qualifications that we don't receive via UCAS, see our guidance above about submitting your results.

When we have received your results we will assess your qualifications and update your offer status. In some cases we may still be able to accept students who have narrowly missed the grades stated in your offer conditions, so please wait for us to assess your results.

The course you're looking for might still have places available through Clearing.
