Whether you met your offer or not, we’ll guide you through what to do next. 

 

I met my offer

If you’ve met the conditions of your offer, congratulations! Your place at Imperiawill be confirmed in (look for 'Unconditional firm'). If your status shows as 'Unconditional firm (UF)' this means that your place at Imperiahas been confirmed.

You don’t need to do anything right now – we’ll contact you soon with everything you need to prepare for joining. 

You've received your results and met the conditions of your offer

If you met your offer conditions but have been rejected

We carefully check all results.鈥疘f you think there’s been a mistake, contact the鈥疉dmissions team through our Admissions Enquiry form as soon as possible.  

You must meet the exact conditions of your offer, including grades, subjects and deadlines. Equivalent tariff points are not accepted. 

If your UCAS status has changed to unconditional

Your place is confirmed – congratulations.

If you need a student visa, we will contact you with next steps, including your CAS.

We’ll also contact you about enrolment and accommodation. 

Mitigating circumstances

We don’t usually consider mitigating circumstances after results are released.

If something happened that affected your exam performance, and you have contacted your exam board, that information will have already been taken into consideration. If you have not contacted your exam board, please do so as soon as possible.  

Appealing results and changed grades

If your grades have changed following a formal appeal and you now meet or exceed your exact offer, your school or exam board must send official confirmation to the鈥�Admissions team.

We accept updated grades until鈥�31 August 2026.

If you still don’t meet your offer conditions after the formal appeal, the outcome displayed on your UCAS Hub will still stand.

Important: We are aware of reports of marking discrepancies affecting some CBSE examination results. Applicants who wish to request a review should follow CBSE's verification and re-evaluation process.

Any revised results must be received directly from CBSE by 31 August 2026. We are unable to guarantee that results received after this date will be considered for 2026 entry. 

Please note that we are unable to accept remarked results submitted directly by applicants. All revised results must be verified either through your examination board, or via Qualification Check where this is included in your offer conditions. 

Changing courses

If you want to change course within the same department, contact the department Admissions team.

In many cases, it is often easier to transfer after you start, during your first year.  

Changing to a different department is usually not possible, as courses are often full.

If UCAS hasn’t sent us your results, send them to the relevant Admissions team鈥痠f you have a copy.

If not, contact your school or UCAS to check what’s happened.  

Deadlines for sending results

Check your offer in for your results deadline.

If we’re missing your results, we’ll contact you.  

Deferring if you have an unconditional offer

To request a deferral, contact the鈥� Admissions Team through our Admissions Enquiry form.

Please remember:

  • Deferrals are not guaranteed
  • If your deferral is approved, it is very unlikely that we can reverse this decision later. So please be sure you want to defer before making your request.鈥�

If your request is not approved, you can:

  • Start your course this year, as planned; or
  • Withdraw and apply again next year. 
Your UCAS status hasn't changed

If your offer is still conditional, we might still be waiting for your results.

If we’ve asked for specific results, you must send them to us before we can confirm your place.
