Student FAQ

Some of this may be helpful. If the answer to your question is not here, please send in a question.

How do I see my references once they have been completed?

It depends on your school and your teachers/tutor. Although you set up the reference requests, which gets the reference writing process started; the subject references and the UCAS reference are written confidentially by your teachers; it is up to them, or school policy, to decide how much of this to share with you. Your student dashboard serves just to give you information about the progress of your references.

Why should I write my personal statement on uniref?

There are two reasons why this would be a good idea: 1) if your reference is on uniref then your tutor (and others that you nominate on your dashboard) can see and comment on it. It is helpful for the tutor to know what you have written, so that they don't duplicate or contradict your personal statement when they write your UCAS reference. 2) uniref helps you to adjust how much you have written so that it will not exceed the UCAS length and number of lines that are allowed.
