University Admissions Policy for 2018 entry – approved October 2017
8. Fraud
8.1 Applicants suspected of providing, or found to have provided, false information shall be
referred to UCAS if their application was originally submitted through that service.
8.2 The University reserves the right to cancel an application and withdraw any offer if it is found
that the application contains false or misleading information.
8.3 The Academic Registrar may exclude from the University students who are found to have
gained admission through the provision of false or misleading information, or through failing
to disclose information that would have materially and adversely affected the determination of
the application for admission. A student so excluded shall not have an automatic right to a full
refund of tuition fees.
9. Feedback
9.1 The competitive nature of admission to many of the University’s degree programmes means
that many good applications are unsuccessful. For most subjects, the University does not
provide feedback to unsuccessful applicants automatically, but will provide written feedback
to unsuccessful applicants who submit a written request. 5
9.2 Feedback will be provided to an applicant only, not to any third party, unless an applicant has
given specific permission in writing for the third party to act on his/her behalf.
9.3 The University will not enter into discussions with applicants about the academic judgement
behind decisions on applications.
9.4 The University maintains an Admissions Complaints and Appeals Procedure. 6
9.5 No applicant who requests feedback, or complains about or appeals against the decision of an
admissions tutor, shall be disadvantaged in any way in any future applications to the
University as a result of the feedback request, complaint or appeal.
