Teachers' Information
We ask that every student application is verified by a teacher using the online Teachers' Confirmation Form - here are some points on completing it:
- To access the form, teachers will need their school/college UCAS number and password. If unknown, these details can be obtained from UCAS's Sutton Trust customer support team (see contact details below).
- Once logged in, teachers will be able to view all of the summer school applications submitted by students from their school/college. Teachers are asked to review each application and confirm that the information submitted by the student is accurate and complete.
- The 'Further Details' section of the online form should be used to provide information about a student's personal circumstances that should be taken into account with their application. We are not asking for formal references. Examples of relevant factors include:
- the student is currently/has been in care of the local authority
- the student has a disability or medical condition affecting study
- the student cares for a sick or disabled parent or family member
- other circumstances that would make higher education difficult
If the student has ticked the alternative qualification box on their application, the additional space should be used to outline the subjects/qualifications they are studying or have completed.
Please note
- We do not accept written references - teachers must verify their students' application using the online Teachers' Confirmation Form.
- If you have any technical problems with the online application form or need to check your school/college UCAS number and/or password, please call the Sutton Trust customer support team at UCAS on 01242 223714, or email on suttontrust@ucas.ac.uk. Please do not contact the Sutton Trust.
- All applications should be verified by teachers by 19th March 2012.
- Any unverified applications will be marked as incomplete - but they will still be put through to the university applied for.
- Teachers will only be able to view a read-only list of applicants from their school/college after the closing date.
- Students will be informed of decisions by 27th April 2012 - due to data protection issues we are unable to provide schools with a list of students who have been accepted onto the programme.
