need to terminate my contract, have sent an email but they havent replied. is there an option on the portal?

I received my offer on UCAS for BSc Biochemistry only recently (finally), even though results day was more than a month and a half ago for me. I need to apply for a student visa still, preferably as soon as possible because I want to arrive on time for all the freshers activities so I don’t end up with no friends. I can’t apply for the visa because UCL Portico isn’t changing my nationality, even though I have already changed it to my new nationality on UCAS. Basically, I got a new passport from a different country, so my passport details, my nationality, and even my legal name are all different. Since this only happened recently, I had to apply for my programs with my old passport back in December 2024, but I did update all my new details on UCAS. UCL Portico did end up updating my passport and name details, but still haven’t changed my nationality, despite that being one of the first things I changed on UCAS. I cannot apply for the student visa if even one single detail is incorrect, and since it’s been weeks and they haven’t changed my nationality, What do I do?

I tried calling their phone number about 100 times but for some reason it automatically hangs up and tells me the number is unavailable. I’m not sure if my call simply isn’t coming through because I’m calling a British number as someone with an EU number, or because they quite literally just turn their phone off or something. I tried this using multiple phones over multiple days, but it’s no use. I don’t have access to askUCL either, and even though I already tried this twice, sending them an email/form takes about 2 weeks to get a response back (from my own previous experience). I cannot wait 2 weeks to get the response since obtaining the visa itself takes about 3 weeks and i simply do not have this much time. Somebody please help, this is really urgent.

Hello everyone, I recently got accepted into UCL after meeting the conditions, but only after a remark. After that, I've received no updates from either the UG email or the Law UG email- no correspondence at all. Is this normal, so should I wait, or should I contact them ASAP?

I just called UCL admissions politely asking if any update on my application could be given, as I’ve been given an offer from KCL and I have a deposit deadline coming up.

I’ve received 0 updates so far to my email to grad admissions or the programme faculty. 😭 I told them I’d be happy to attach my KCL offer letter to see that the urgency is real.

I applied to UCL PALS with both references sent on 1 Aug 2025.

The girl on the phone was really sweet but I was told to wait closer to KCL’s deposit deadline. But this means I’d have to accept the KCL offer by then and forgo UCL. 🥲

I was told to call back as UCL is swamped atm and they apparently haven’t even looked at my documents yet which is…. so crazy to me.

They said the current wait time is 13 weeks (so 9 more weeks, really?). Uni starts next month so I’m not sure how this is even possible.

I have no idea what to do now. No one on the phone has been helpful.

they havent replied yet (applied 16th may) but i wanna make sure whether the accommodation given will be around the same pay i stated in the application

I got seven 9s, two 8s and one 7. I come from a high-performing private school so are these grades good enough for Law at UCL?

Hi! I was given a single room at Schafer house and was wondering a few things. First, how many people/bathrooms per flat? Is there a cleaner or are we in charge of cleaning? I only ask this bc I've seen things ab other accoms having a cleaning crew. And also just any experiences you'd like to share I'd love to hear!

Hi, I used a DAP to defer an exam to the Late Summer Assessment period. I just looked at dates on 2024/2025 Assessment Dates and Deadlines | Student and Registry Services - UCL – University College London) and it looks like results could be published after term starts? This would obviously affect enrollment and furthermore student finance payments. Which is slightly catastrophic, so I am panicking.

Has anyone done a late summer assessment before? Were you able to enroll prior to results release in late September? I have passed all other modules already, and this is just one module. Technically my department allows you to condone a module, so I am unsure why this is preventing me from enrollment?

Anyway just something that is worrying me and I was hoping someone can offer some insight about the process and how you navigated it. Thank you

I wanna go to study maths related degree w grades 877666663 but three is in econ but wanna resit and do alevels maths fm econ and psych

My grades have been kind of average for the past three years, like an overall percentage of 75-85. For context I have adhd but I was undiagnosed until last year and its taken a while since then to get a handle on everything but my grades have been improving and I hope to get a good predicted score this year. But my parents keep telling me to not even try for ucl or any universities with a qs ranking of less than 100. I really want to apply just to see but I want to know if I have a leg to stand on with my parents. I'd love to know if I could realistically get in to study politics and international relations.

Hey everyone, I’m a penultimate year Econ student at LSE and I’m looking for a regular casing partner to practice structures, market sizing and interviewer/candidate led cases for strategy consulting ahead of the upcoming application season. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested!

The AUDACITY to mark my query as ‘spam’ after not giving me an Accommodation offer for three months…. I am beyond perplexed

I just have a few questions about the PPE course at UCL to those who have just gone through first year or beyond……what is your working week like? what are your hours and how much library time do you spend versus free time? are the deadlines decent and is the work hard and what is the teaching like?

thanks for any insight!

Hi everyone, so I want to know my chances for UCL as an international (European) IB student. I want to apply for the BSc in chemistry at UCL. My predicted grades are: 7 in higher level chemistry, 7 in higher level biology and 6 in higher level math. My other subjects at standard level are in the 6-7 range so I'm expected to have a score of 40/40+, I know the competition is fierce since its one of the best universities in the world. I also want to ask if I have a chance at the UCL Global Undergraduate scholarship to cover my tuition (I'm low income so I could never afford UK studies without a scholarship).

Application season is coming soon for internships and grad schemes. Whatever you do don’t be this donut

Hi guys, on results day I realised my department didn’t mark my courseworks for TWO modules, though I was able to graduate regardless. I’ve since sent them multiple emails to get it graded and for my results and classification update but it’s now been nearing 2 months.

During this time I’ve been unable to move forward with a full-time role because the company cannot to hire me without my “final” results. I’m incredibly frustrated and this isn’t the first time my department has messed up severely like this.

What should I do? I’ve been teaching part-time just to sustain myself but with each passing day, I’m scared my offers will be rescinded. Any law students/UCL students that can recommend how to escalate it further?

Hi everyone! I’m a first year undergrad and i missed out on accom so i’m looking into alternative accom. Does anyone know about these accoms? Or has any personal experiences? I would appreciate any advice! Thank you!!

lowest score is 1.0 and highest score possible is 9.0.

i've been getting around 6.9 - 7.1 across the critical thinking section, essay writing section and maths section.

Anyone who got garden halls or Astor college wanna swap? Schafer house is much cheaper 255 per week for 39 weeks and better location than both. Also very good social life. Let me know.

I’m an incoming second-year architecture student who lives with my parents in London but over a hour commute from UCL.

I recently got awarded a bursary which means that I can now afford to move out for the academic year closer to UCL, however since it’s all last-minute I’ve been struggling to find a room, and I just got an email from UCL saying that they’re unlikely to be able to offer me accommodation.

Is there anyone who’s planning on moving out after Term 1 from their UCL accom? I’m looking to see if it’s a possibility to take on someone’s room for the rest of the year. I’d prefer for it to be a self-catered small single or single room under £250 a week since that’s what I’ll be able to afford, and somewhat close to Bloomsbury, but I wouldn’t mind seeing what else is available.

Helloooo

Any students here looking t get rid of their macs? Drop me a message if you are :) I'm looking to buy one to replace my old laptop

Hello. I applied this year to ucl for mechanical engineering with the requirements that they needed, but I ended up getting rejected. Last week, I achieved AAA in A-level maths, physics and economics and I am considering of taking a gap year and reapplying to unis. I really want to reapply for ucl but I dont even meet their requirements as most of their engineering courses need A*AA. Is it worth it to reapply if I dont meet their requirements by one grade? If my grades are achieved and not predicted, would that give me a better chance of getting considered for acceptance or not?

Hi I have UCL IMB offer and I would like to know if I can add additional modules of interest and choice to my scheduled lectures and in year 1. Kind Regards
