Okay, as mentioned previously - I have had so many troubles with UCAS and applying to my universities. So here is my guide to getting it sorted if you are doing A Levels!
"Personal Details"
This is probably the easiest bit, it's quite self explanatory! However at one point you will get to the "Student Support" section. Selecting the 'FEE CODE' is very complicated, well it probably isn't but I found it was! These are the options:
01 Private finance
02 LEA/SAAS/NIBd/EU/Chl/IoM
04 Research councils
05 DH/Regional Health
06 UKL govt osea award
07 Training agency
08 Other UK govt award
09 Overseas Agency
10 UK Industry/commerce
90 Other Source
99 Not Known
Basically, to put it bluntly - if you are British and live in the UK, you select "02 LEA/SAAS/NIBd/EU/Chl/IoM" and then that sections done!
"Additional Information"
You shouldn't have any problem with this, it's easy!
"Student Finance"
Most of you will probably want to apply for Student Finance, so again this is self explanatory!
"Choices"
This is the easiest when you know what 5 universities you would like to select, unless like me and you liked lot's and have to choose! Always have your course details and University page up on another tab when completing this, it makes it so much easier! You may find when searching for some courses, that there is two - unless you are taking a sandwich year (Gap year in the middle of University) always select the one that ends in (QW34). If you are wanting to take a Gap Year before University then when it asks about 'Deferred Entry' click 'yes'
"Education"
This was easily the most hardest thing for me, considering today I was running all over college looking for answers but if you are entering an AS Level it is called: GCE Advanced Subsidiary (first award 2001)
You still HAVE to include your A2 levels that you are taking: GCE Advanced Level but just select the grade as "Pending"
"Employment"
Self-explanatory
"Personal Statement"
Basically, you are allowed up to 4,000 CHARACTERS or 47 lines - I can inform you now that Word is very much different to UCAS, I used my 4,000 characters but then it told me I was over the 47 line limit - now my personal statement fits it is "3732 characters with spaces" and 658 words. However, on word it is only 44 lines on UCAS it is 47. Just a warning.
"View All Details"
Don't ignore this page, check every little detail! If it's all ready then OFF YOU GO!
Good Luck! Hope this helped!
