Our Applicant Days will allow you to experience all of this and more first- hand. You will discover what it’s like to study in a university environment and, more importantly, the incredible benefits, both academically and socially, of studying for your degree at Leeds Trinity University.

My favourite thing about student life at Leeds Trinity is being part of the Ladies’ Football team. We are a lively, social and

very welcoming bunch of girls who love to have a laugh.

Key Dates for your diary

7 May 2014You will need to reply to all offers made by Leeds Trinity University by 7 May 2014.

31 May 2014You will need to apply for Student Finance by 31 May 2014 in order to receive your finance before you start university in September.

14 August 2014If you are studying this year you will receive your exam results on 14 August. Good luck!

22 September 2014Time to celebrate becoming a student at Leeds Trinity University - ‘Freshers’ Week’ begins!

What happens next?Making your decisionWhen you have received offers from all universities, UCAS will send you an email to say there’s been an update. You will then need to go through UCAS Track to make your replies. You’ll have a deadline shown in Track of when to do this by – how much time you have depends on the time of year, varying from a week to five weeks.

Replying to an offerFirm acceptance -This is your first choice. If it’s an unconditional offer, the place is yours! If it’s conditional, the place is yours if you meet the entry requirements. So just in case you don’t, you can pick a second offer as a backup – your insurance acceptance.

Insurance acceptance -The backup choice to a conditional firm acceptance.If you’re choosing an insurance choice, go for a course with lower entry requirements,

but make sure it’s somewhere you’d still like to study. Remember, you will only attend your insurance choice course if you don’t meet the requirements of your firm choice, but you do meet the conditions of your insurance.

You can’t choose between your firm and insurance course when you get your results, so make sure you’re happy with your firm and insurance choice by doing as much research into the course and institution as you can.

DeclineYou will then need to decline all other offers. Or if you decide you don’t want to accept any of the offers, you can decline them all and you may be eligible to use the UCAS Extra service. In Extra, you can apply for any course with vacancies and hopefully secure an offer before the summer.
