DD had an unexpected call from Laine yesterday offering her a means-tested funded place. She has already accepted elsewhere which we think suits her better. We know others have been told their places on the Reserve List now so I would like to think that everyone knows one way or the other. Laine have been very slow with correspondence but no idea why. I think many will have given up and accepted elsewhere!

Can anyone help me with a UCAS question? What happens when you accept an offer? do you need to put down a deposit right away? How much deposit is usually required? Is it refundable? We would try reaching out to the school, but honestly, you all are much faster and so much more thorough with your responses- plus we don't really want to highlight the fact that she's accepting it while hoping for another outcome...
DD hoping for spot from reserve list at MV, also applying for foundation there, but won't know until the end of June 8-[

Pretty sure for most you pay the deposit there & then & if you don’t go you loose it but if you do then they refund at end of course but advise using for equity membership or something work related

Make sure you still message all the landlords and ask them to let you know if anything comes available. We had this problem when dd did pre-voc at Performers (finishes this time last year), couldn’t find anything and has got to the point where we were considering a host family, something dd didn’t want as she was 18 and wanted to live College life! We were literally about to book one when a landlord rang us back and asked if we were still looking as someone had dropped out, turned out to be a lovely house too. They have pre-vocs who hang on to their house until they’ve decided whether to stay at Performers or go elsewhere (like my dd did) and students who still move around and then their room comes free so things can still come free.

It's the diploma, so just waiting now on funding confirmation. I can't believe, there's more waiting [-o<

We paid £500 deposit as DD was going to be doing a foundation course. This money would have been refunded once she'd completed a year. The foundation offer was then upped to degree, which she has accepted. I'm guessing we don't forfeit this money? Unfortunately I forgot to ask at last week's open day.

I'd have thought with it being the same institution you wold be due a refund.
