Sixth Form application via UCAS - at what time are offers posted on 21 Aug?

[heatheranneelizabeth]

Has anyone any experience of UCAS and applying for sixth forms? DS has three conditional offers. At what time are they likely to be 'seen' on the website? If it was me who had the log-in, there wouldn't be a problem as I would just sit there and continually refresh til the offers or rejections appear, but I do not have the login - DS does. I am trying to minimise fuss on a potentially stressful day! Thank you for any help you can give.

(And before someone shouts at me.... yes, I do understand that it will be a whole lot worse in two years time waiting for any uni offers following publication of A level results!)

Errrr you don't apply to 6th form through ucas..........

Yes you can, titchy. It's called UCAS Progress.

OP: don't know the answer though, I'm afraid. Are there help pages on the website that may help you?

Thinking about this again, heather, if it works a similar way to UCAS uni courses, then the colleges will have your dc's results before you do (I work in an admissions role for a uni). You may therefore be able to log on in the morning and see which conditional offers have become unconditional on the basis that the offer has been met.

If the conditions for more than one offer have been met, then your DC should be able to choose which offer to accept.

Like I say, though,this is just based on my knowledge of uni applications. There may be someone out there that knows more!

Thank you for your replies. Indeed the sixth form applications are via UCAS Progress for us. We'll wait and see and keep logging on. We are not allowed to pick up results until quite late in the morning.
