depending on application route for that particular programme.
• Liaise with the Schools on Entry Criteria's and make decisions where appropriate.
• Fee Assess Applicants.
• Receive qualifications, assess suitability and ‘SOATEST’ declared qualifications.

How we do this……..
The majority of applications are received from either UCAS, UTT or directly from the applicant (OLAF). They are then downloaded into EAS……
Electronic Admissions System
Direct applications- Any application not received through UCAS/UTT
The International Office process their applications through VAS (Virtual Application System) – make a decision- application then pushed through to EAS and the decision recorded on Banner.
There are still a very small number of programmes that can only be applied to through a paper form – mainly Health CPD programmes.

Student target numbers are set at University and School/College level as well as programme level
Closing Programmes which are FULL
If you wish to close a programme as you have achieved your target number discuss this with your FOO in case other programmes in the School have under recruited.
If the FOO wishes to close programmes they should contact the Director or Recruitment & Admissions to see how this fits into the university-wide targets
Home or Overseas??All applicants are Fee Assessed
Either from the application form or
Fee Assessment Form
Many different things to be taken into consideration, but the big 3 they need to meet to be considered as a Home Fee Payer are: - Must have 3 years residence in UK/EU
- Not been here for Education purposes- Settled with no restrictions on stay and
freedom to move in and out of the country.Fee Status Can’t Change?There are a limited number of places for Home-fee paying students.
If an applicant is assessed (from the Fee Assessment Form that they complete) as being liable for fees at the ‘Overseas’ rate and later submits additional information that shows that they are eligible for fees at the ‘Home’ rate, it is not guaranteed that they will have a place at the ‘Home’ rate.
If the university has already met its ‘Home’ student numbers the offer may be withdrawn, a place offered for next year or they take up the Overseas place.
