Applying through 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ can be stressful for you and your child. But, we’re here to support you through every step.
To help support your child through 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ at the 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ, we’ve put together a guide that includes our top 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ tips for parents and caregivers.
91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ - the basics
Let’s start with what 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ is. 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ is an opportunity for potential undergraduate students to get a place at a university. It’s part of the UCAS application process where students can find available courses to apply to after the initial UCAS deadline and once they have their results. If your child isn’t signed up to the UCAS system yet, they can apply to us directly.
Most students decide to go through 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ on Results Day, but your child is able to apply anytime during the 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ period if they know their grades. 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ opens on 5 July 2025.

Preparing in advance is the best way to help your child go through the 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ process smoothly. Here’s our 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ advice for parents:

On Results Day
Results Day is a big day and your child may be looking for some reassurance. If you can, free up your day to be with them to celebrate their successes together or to listen to any concerns they may have.
If your child doesn't get the results they hoped for, remind them that they don’t need to rush to make a decision. They have time. Encourage them to take a step back and assess their options.
We hope the 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ advice for parents and supporters in this guide will help you figure out the next steps. You can also find out more about the 91³ÉÈ˶¶Òô¶ÌÊÓƵ process and your child's options by signing up for our live on 6 August.
