UCAS Confirmation and Clearing 2021 FAQs

Q: My decision is still ‘Pending’ on UCAS?

A: If your decision is still ‘Pending’ on UCAS, it is because either, we have not received all of your results from UCAS or because you did not meet the conditions of your offer.

If you have received all of your results and believe you have met the conditions of your offer, please email a scanned copy of your certificate(s) to registry@stran.ac.uk
