Section 2: Applicant-specific mitigating factors and extenuating circumstances*.

The UCAS reference is now divided into three sections: We ask that referees do not give a generic admin office email address, as we are unable to send emails and questions about an indiviudal application to a generic office email address. This this can cause problems and delays if we have a question so we prefer it if the named referee and contact details are those of the person who really wrote your reference. This sounds obvious, bu t we find that referees are often tempted to give the name and contact details of somebody more senior at the school, such as the headteacher or of a more senior staff member. Your referee should give their own name and contact details. What name and contact details should my referee give? If you have more than one person who you would like to write a reference, it is best that you ask your UCAS referee to liaise with the second person (as they would for a subject teacher) and include their points in the UCAS reference.

Only one reference can be given via UCAS. Your reference cannot be written by somebody who is related to you. Normally your referee will be a subject teacher, your sixth form tutor or a UCAS Adviser. They don't have to be a specialist in the area that you wish to study at university, but they do need some insight into the course you are applying for so that they can comment on relevant skills and achievements, and they will need to liaise with your subject teachers to include subject-specific detail and predicted grades. The ideal referee is somebody who knows you and your academic profile well. What name and contact details should the referee give?.Your UCAS application must include a reference written by somebody who can comment in detail on your academic ability and potential, and predict grades for any exams that you have not yet taken.
