I want to defer/change my year of entry

If you are holding a place at Lancaster to start in 2024 and you would like to defer to 2025, or if you are holding a place to start in 2025 and you would now like to start in 2024, please complete our Change year of entry form.

We will consider your request, and if we agree to it, we will change your offer on UCAS.

If you are not yet certain that you want to change your year of entry, and you are only interested in exploring your options at this stage, please make that clear on the form, and we will reply to you by email.

If you have accepted a place with us through Clearing, we will not be able to defer your place to 2025. If you have a Clearing offer for 2024 and you now want to study in 2025, you will need to apply through UCAS in September.

I want to change my course

If you are holding a place with us, and you would like to change your course, please complete our change of course form.

We will consider your request, and if we agree to it, we will change your course on UCAS.

If you are not yet certain that you want to change your course, and you are only interested in exploring your options at this stage, please make that clear on the form, and we will reply to you by email.

Change of course

I want to be released into Clearing

If you are holding an unconditional firm place at Lancaster you may request to be released into Clearing. If you do, you will no longer be holding a place at Lancaster University, and we may not be able to reverse this if you change your mind.

You can also self-release into Clearing using the "Decline my place" function on the UCAS website.

If you are holding an unconditional firm place at Lancaster, and you wish to study with your original insurance choice, you will need to ask them for a Clearing offer, and then be released into Clearing.

If you are holding a conditional firm place at Lancaster, and you wish to be released to your insurance choice, we can only do this if you send evidence that you have not met the conditions of your offer. Please send your results to results@lancaster.ac.uk. If you have met the conditions of your offer then send us your results, and once your place is unconditional firm you will be able to be released into Clearing, or to self-release, using the “Decline my place” function on the UCAS website.

Release me into Clearing

I want to appeal my results

Please complete our form if you are appealing your results. Please include information about which results you are appealing.

If we are your firm choice, we can accept amended results and honour your offer (excluding Medicine) for 2024 entry as long as we receive them by Wednesday 4 September.

Medicine applicants that are successful in appealing results, and meet the condition of our offer, will be guaranteed a place for 2025 entry.

If you notify us after Wednesday 4 September, we unfortunately cannot guarantee your place, but do let us know as soon as you are able, in case we have any vacancies.

If you meet the terms of your offer by the Wednesday 4 September, and you applied for your accommodation before Saturday 10 August and we are your firm choice, your accommodation offer will be guaranteed.

Inform us of your appeal
