Current Questions

How do I check My Cambridge Application has been received safely?
There are 2 ways:
> Check that you have received an email confirming that it has been submitted 
> Log into your MyCApp and check it says it has been submitted

Please could you check I've done everything I need to?
No - sorry. We don't have capacity to do this, nor are we in a good position to check which things are relevant to you. Please instead check what you need to do by looking through the information in the current applicants section. For each thing please ask yourself a) is it relevant to me and b) have I done it?  Please always check that you see the screen confirming that a form has been submitted. If you're still feeling unsure please ask a parent, guardian or friend to read through the current applicant's section with you if you think it would help.

I submitted a form and didn't get an automatic email. Please could you confirm that you've received it? 
When you submit any of the forms (for uploading things or e.g. the Christ's info form) you're asked at the end to look out for the screen confirming that the form has been received safely. If you see this screen, it has been received safely, if you don't it hasn't and you should try again. The automatic emails are a nice-to-have and they normally work, but for all sorts of reasons things can go wrong with automatic emails - don't worry if you don't receive one: as long as you saw the screen confirming that the form has been received safely, we have it. If you're not sure whether you have successfully submitted a form, submit another one. 

My UCAS Personal ID has changed! Why? Do I need to resubmit forms I've used it on? 
Your UCAS personal ID remains the same regardless of how many times you apply through UCAS. If you are a re-applicant (in other words, if you have made an application or applications via UCAS to any HE institution in a previous year or years), UCAS gives you a new temporary personal ID for your new application until they have completed all the necessary checks. The personal ID supplied to us with your new application reverts to your original (and permanent) one. If you have used your temporary Personal ID on any upload forms or documents, there is no need to resend them.

What if I've done something wrong in uploading a document? 
Please don't worry: we'll let you know if we need you to do something differently (and be prepared - we'll badger you a lot if you forget to include the details we need at the start of all emails!).

I've made a mistake on my MyCApp form but it's already submitted. What can I do?
We can't edit the MyCApp. If you made a significant mistake, please write to us at admissions@christs.cam.ac.uk, starting your email with the normal details:

        Your name (exactly as you wrote it for UCAS, surname in CAPITALS)
        Your intended course (incl. 'Biological or Physical' if Natural Sciences)
        Your UCAS number (no dashes)
        Which country you are applying from

Please write out the question from your MyCApp in bold (you can use the relevant preview of My Cambridge Application to find the question), and then write underneath it the correct answer that you would like to give. We will add the information to your application file.

I'm applying from a university. Are there any additional things that I need to do? 
See the relevant page for 
> Applying from a foundation course at a UK university
> Applying from a UK university
> Applying from 1st year at a university outside the UK

I've missed a deadline. What should I do?
We have a 'no fuss' approach to missed deadlines. If you can see what to do below and then do it quickly, correctly (i.e. follow the instructions on the relevant page precisely) and without fuss, we will do our best to process it efficiently for you. What we don't have capacity to do is answer emails about late forms and documents. Thank you for your understanding. 

My Cambridge Application > Email admissions@christs.cam.ac.uk

Transcript > Please upload it as an additional document as soon as possible. We accept late transcripts with the caveat that we can only consider what is in your file at the time it is read. Please follow the instructions on the additional docs page exactly and do not send us emails about missing the deadline. We do not accept transcripts by email.

Christ's Info Form > Please complete it now and we will accept it. Please do not email us about it.

Extenuating Circumstances Form > We can still accept ECF forms if needed. Before requesting that a form is sent on your behalf please read the page carefully to check if it is needed. As ever, we can only consider information that is in your file at the time it is read. More detail on the Christ's ECF page.

Curriculum details, Results breakdown & Additional documents > We will accept these late with the caveat that we can only consider information that is in your file at the time it is read (and it will take us a little while to process things after you've sent them). Please follow the instructions on the relevant page carefully for how to upload the relevant thing, and do not send us emails about missing the deadline. 

Disability, neurodiverse condition, mental health condition or long term health condition > First of all read the page and the form carefully if you have missed the deadline. If you now have the form and document, please upload it following the instructions on this page. If you have a partially completed form or a missing document, please follow these steps: Step 1: Complete the form as well as you can and write on the form a) what you are missing and b) when you expect to have it by; Step 2: Upload the form and document (if you already have it) following the instructions, except that you write 'temporary' at the end of the file name if you will be sending a completed version in due course.
E.g 5-History-BLOGGSJoe-Adjustments-1482939947-temporary
Step 3: Collect the missing elements (whatever they are) and then upload a second version of the complete form (not writing 'temporary' at the end this time). NB. You only need to upload the document again if the file has changed. Please do not re-upload if it's the same as what you uploaded previously.

Will I need to send you my TMUA results when I get them? 
No - if you've sat the TMUA, ESAT, UCAT or LNAT we will receive your results automatically (and we'll be checking for missing ones and will contact you if we need anything from you). 

None at the moment

Should I submit my IELTS scores? I put the results in my UCAS application but am not sure if you need proof
You do not need to send documents. If we select you for an offer we will ask you for these post offer. Please just do the things we have asked you to do - we do not want you to send additional things. 

I will be taking an English language test (e.g. IELTS) during the application process. How do I submit my scores after I have taken the test?
Please upload the Test Report form as an additional document. NB if you're not already booked in for a test, there's no need to book for one - probably easier to wait and see if you get an offer, and if yes, whether there is an English language requirement. In more cases than you might think, we will not need to set a requirement, and if we do need to, you'll have until June to sit the test and meet it.
