Past Students - Applying Through UCAS

Applying to university as a past student is easy and straightforward. The College will support your application by providing an up-to-date and detailed reference for your UCAS form. However, if you left College more than 2 years ago, we may not be the most suitable people to support you with a reference. You may need to ask your last academic institution or a relevant employer.

1. Register with UCAS - www.ucas.com
2. During registration when asked ‘how are you applying?' Please select - applying through a school, college, careers centre or any other organisation, you will be asked to use the buzzword provided by Holy Cross College then select ‘Past Student group’
3. Complete all sections of UCAS Apply - Personal details, Additional information, Student finance, Choices, Education, Employment, and Personal Statement
4. View all – Pay and Send
5. Your form will then be sent to Ms Kober (Past Student UCAS Administrator)

All completed applications must be with Ms Kober by Friday 20th January to ensure forms are processed on time. We are unable to guarantee on-time applications if the form is not fully completed or if received after this date. NB: Early entry UCAS applications must be received by Monday 10th October 

Please ensure you submit your form in time.
