UCAS ACCEPTANCE DEADLINE

8th June is the UCAS deadline to accept firm choices.  Students should also ensure that they have their accommodation if needed and student finance in place.  For students who have rejected courses, they should ensure that their student finance application reflects their current needs as Student Finance England may not have up to date records where university choices have changed.
