Offer Holder Days
If you receive an unconditional or conditional offer , you may be invited to an Offer Holder Day .
These course-specific visit days are designed to provide you with more information about your chosen course , the student experience at QMU and give you a chance to experience our campus . You will have the opportunity to meet academic staff and current students .

Accept your offer
If you decide to accept our offer , you will need to do this on UCAS Track .
Once you have received all of your decisions , you will have to reply to your offers by a specific deadline given in UCAS Track . You have three options :
• Select a firm choice , this is your first choice of course .
• If your firm choice is conditional , you can also select an insurance choice , this is your back-up choice in case you do not meet the conditions for your firm choice . We recommend that your insurance choice has lower conditions than your firm choice to give you the best chance of securing a place .
• Decline any other offers .

Applying for accommodation
If you would like to stay in our student accommodation , online applications go live in April . You can apply for accommodation if you are holding a conditional or unconditional offer .
There is no deadline for submitting your application . However , we recommend you apply as early as possible to avoid any disappointment .
More information and contact details can be found on pages 44 — 45 .

Results days
If you have accepted a conditional offer from us , the next stage of your application takes place when we receive your exam results . This is known as confirmation .
If you have a conditional offer based on SQA Highers , A levels or ILC , we will usually receive these results from UCAS . We will then update UCAS Track with our final decision on your application .
If you have a conditional offer based on achieving another qualification , including an HNC or HND , you must send a copy of your transcript and final certificate to our Admissions team . Once we receive these , we will make a decision as soon as possible on your application .

9 .

Clearing
If you did not receive any offers , or did not meet your conditions on results day , Clearing provides you with the opportunity to apply later in the year .
Clearing is available from early July and enables applicants who do not hold any offers to apply for courses at universities that have places remaining .
Applications for Clearing will remain open until all places have been filled . Details of Clearing vacancies can be found on our website or on www . ucas . com

Joining QMU
Once you have accepted a place with us we will send you more information about beginning your course at QMU . This will include details of anything else you need to do before joining the University .
During August , once you hold an unconditional offer , you will receive information about how to formally register with QMU . This registration process is referred to as Online Matriculation .
Once you have completed matriculation , we look forward to welcoming you on campus !
