Ultimately you need to make an application and this is done through UCAS. UCAS is the national system through which all potential university students apply for their place on a course.  \nGetting your application right is very important; not only details such as course choices and qualifications, but also your personal statement. This booklet provides important information on how to complete your application and how to get it right first time. Please read this booklet carefully, and have it with you to refer to as you complete your application.  \nAdditional information can be found at  \n[https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/applying-to-university](https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/applying-to-university)  \nThe UCAS Hub system  \nApplication to university is made through the UCAS Hub. The system is totally web based with your application and reference being held and processed by UCAS. You can register and start your application in the Hub from 12 May.  \nHow does it work?  \nAs a student you setup an account with UCAS, with your own login and password. Through abuzzword you link your application to the school. You then complete your application online, section by section. Once you have completed the application and have had it checked (through liaison with your form tutor) you send it to the referee (Mrs Jones) . The school will then add your reference (prepared by your form tutor and finalised by Mrs Jones) and check your form for errors. Please note that by clicking ‘send ’ you do not send the form to UCAS, only the school can do that.  \nThere is an application fee made payable to UCAS when you submit your application. For 2027 entry, the application fee will be £34.50 for up to five choices.  \nFor the first time in last year’s cycle, if you were in receipt of free school meals at some point during the last six years (during your secondary education) up until the end of your final year, you were eligible to have your application fee waived. This is continuing for this year and will be need to be confirmed by the school before we submit your application to UCAS. If you qualify , when you submit your form to UCAS, you need to click that you are in receipt of free school meals and pay by invoice.  \nThe payment of the fee is made directly to UCAS by credit or debit card (unless in receipt of FSM) . Please liaise with the Sixth Form team if there is a difficulty in doing this.  \nAs this is an online application process, you can work on your application at school or at home, infact, anywhere you have internet access, so the processing of your form by the school and UCAS will be much quicker.  \nHow do I use the UCAS hub?  \n1. Through the website [https://www.ucas.com/students](https://www.ucas.com/students)  \n[2](2). Scroll to 2027 entry and click on the link ‘Create account’  \n3. The first time you’ll need to select ‘Register’  \n4. Work through the pages as required. Remember to note your username and password  \n5. After registering and you login for the first time you will be asked whether you are applying as an individual or through a school or college. It is essential that you choose the option of a school or college; otherwise, we will not be able to provide you with a reference. You will be asked for a buzzword, and this is ‘EntryRedborne27’. This is all one word. A capital ‘E’and ‘R’ are required. Please also remember to add your tutor group so your tutor can seeyour application and help you with it.  \nMaking sure you get your form correct first time...  \nEvery year, typically less than 1 in 5 application forms are approved first time. Errors on application forms will not only delay your form being sent off, the additional administration time involved in returning and recheckin","cbCaihiPhTl2BHdN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihiPhTl2BHdN","pdf",331663,"English","# UCAS Applications for 2027 Entry\n## The Blue Guide Introduction\n## The UCAS Hub system\n## How do I use the UCAS hub?\n## Making sure you get your form correct first time...\n## Common sections and typical answers","[{\"question\":\"How do students submit a UCAS application for the 2027 entry?\",\"answer\":\"Students complete the application online in the UCAS Hub and then send it to the school (not directly to UCAS).
