Receiving your results

On results day you will receive the outcome of your qualifications and find out if you have got into your choice of university; this could be your firm or insurance choice, so check carefully.

If you meet the conditions of your offer…

Your place will be confirmed, and you will be sent information about registration and next steps in due course. If you are not taking A-Levels and receive your final results yourself, please email a copy to the Admissions Office immediately. Please ensure you include your name and UCAS ID so that we can identify your application easily.

If you do not meet the conditions of your offer…

Don’t panic! You may still be accepted if there are places available on your chosen course or offered an alternative degree course – this is called a change course offer. Non-A level applicants may have to wait until the University receives all exam results before a decision is made. Alternatively, you will be released to take up your insurance choice course or enter Clearing.

If you are missing information or appealing your grade...

If you are missing any of your results, please contact our admissions team as soon as possible. If you plan to appeal your grade, we encourage you to speak to your school/college about this as soon as possible. we are unable to take any action until the outcome of your appeal is known. If by 4 September 2024 we are notified of any revised grades that mean you meet the terms of the offer we made and that you subsequently accepted, we will honour our offer to study at Loughborough. After this date decisions will depend on the availability of places.

Deferring

If you would like to defer entry and start your course in October 2025, we will need to receive confirmation of this from you in writing. Please email release@lboro.ac.uk indicating clearly in the subject line of the message that your enquiry relates to deferred entry. You should also include your full name and UCAS Personal ID

Similarly, if you are holding a deferred offer and now wish to join the University in 2024, you will need to request this in writing to the admissions team.

Clearing

What is Clearing?

Clearing allows students to apply for university courses where there are still places available. Each university approaches Clearing slightly differently. Some will open for early Clearing, and others won’t open for Clearing until A level results day. Therefore, it’s important to do your research in advance.

Who can use Clearing?

You can apply through Clearing if you…

•  …didn’t receive any offers
•  …declined the offers you received, perhaps because you changed your mind
•  …didn’t meet your offer conditions at your firm and insurance choices
•  …applied after the deadline and were automatically entered into Clearing
•  …changed your mind about your course or university or you achieved better grades than you anticipated and therefore want to explore other options
