Replying to your offer
Great news – you’ve received an offer from Loughborough University! Here is all of the information you need of what to do next.
Different types of offers
|
Conditional |
A conditional offer means you still need to meet some entry requirements, this is usually exam results. |
|
Unconditional |
An offer of a place on a course with no outstanding conditions. |
What options do you have?
You will need to decide on which university you would like to attend and which course you would like to study. To do this, you need to reply to your offer. There are several choices you will need to make when doing this. You will need to select one of your offers to be your firm choice and one to be your insurance (if you choose to have one). You can only accept one firm choice and one insurance offer. You must decline any other offers. Here is what this means:
|
Firm |
This is your first choice university and course. |
|
Insurance |
This is your second choice university and course. |
|
Decline |
Once you have selected your firm and insurance universities and courses, you will be required to decline any other outstanding offers you have received for other universities and courses. |
|
Defer |
You could also decide to defer your year of entry. This is what an applicant does if they would like to delay their entry to university, usually by one academic year. You will need to speak to the university to do this, as it is up to them to decide if they will accept your deferral request. Please email us if you would like to defer your offer with Loughborough. |
Remember, you'll only attend your insurance choice course if you don't meet the conditions of your firm choice, but you do meet the conditions of your insurance. You can't choose between your firm and insurance when you get your results, so make sure you're happy with which is your firm, and which is your insurance before you reply.
