We’ve moved the remaining teaching and the majority of assessment online, supporting students to complete the academic year and progress from there. New methods of assessment are communicated via your module Moodle pages where there is lots of support for students to access.

Our hope is very much that Hartpury can return as close to normal as soon as possible. As a result, we are developing the timetable to contain as much face to face delivery as is safe to do so. From the specified date in October, we would therefore hope as many returners as possible are in attendance at Hartpury for those face to face sessions. Additionally as the restrictions in England reduce, the amount of online delivery will reduce further. Our recommendation would be that while we do appreciate that for some students this will not be possible (e.g. those with underlying medical conditions who are required to remain in isolation) and will be supporting them via live and recorded sessions, students are able to attend from the 26^th of October. Should an individual student feel unable to do this, they should have a chat with their programme manager to discuss options.

Currently, our intention is to enrol all new first year undergraduate** Hartpury University students on campus during the week starting 21 September 2020.  This is a week later than previously published. The new term dates can be found here.

Do I need to send you my results when I get them?

If you have accepted a conditional offer and are waiting for A Level, BTEC or City and Guilds, WJEC or Irish Leaving diploma results we normally receive your results from the awarding bodies through UCAS. Sometime we will receive these before they are published sometime afterwards.

If we don’t expect to receive your results through UCAS, we will ask you to send a copy of your results when you receive them.

What happens when you get my results?

If you achieve the grades required by your conditional offer then we will have your place confirmed and we will email you a PDF of an acceptance letter. You will also see your the status of your application on UCAS change.

If you have not quite met the required grades our Admissions Officers will review your application and your place may be confirmed if there are places still available on their course and we believe that you have shown sufficient academic potential to achieve on the course.

How will you assess academic potential?

We will look at the following to assess your academic potential:

• Have you met the minimum GCSE entry criteria for the course.
• What qualifications have you achieved.
• We will read your personal statement looking particularly  to assess motivation and suitability for the chosen course of study. In particular we will look for evidence to show :
  • evidence of knowledge of, interest in and commitment to the subject;
  • non-academic achievement or experience in areas that align to the subject;
  • work experience and/or positions of responsibility in areas aligned to the subject;
  • interests, hobbies and pastimes.
• The reference or a written recommendation from a teacher, adviser, or professional who knows you academically or professionally to look for evidence of an overall assessment of the applicant, in particular your suitability for the course of study
• Contextual information that will help assess your academic potential
• Any extenuating circumstances

If you feel there is additional information then you can send this to us at admissions@hartpury.ac.uk. We may also contact you to discuss you application.

If I don’t get accepted on my course will you offer me an alternative?

If we are concerned about confirming your place we will try to contact you to discuss this with you. When we are unable to confirm a place on the original course we will seek to offer a place on an alternative course if places are still available.

Can I contact you?

Yes, you are very welcome to contact admissions@hartpury.ac.uk at any point in this process and we would be very happy to discuss it with you.

Following government guidance and the advice of all national governing bodies for sport, we will not be running pre-season training based onsite in summer 2020. Please continue conversations with sports academy managers/coaches where needed.

We will restart all sporting activities as soon as we feel it is safe to do so; we recognise how important this is to many of you.

Currently, we are planning on the basis that competitions will resume at some point during 2020/21, when they are safe to do so, and in-line with government advice and national governing bodies’ guidance.

Sports academies will continue to provide the best level of support to the student-athletes and training will still operate at Hartpury so that we are ready to compete as soon as we are able to.

Sporting activities will all be in-line with government advice and public health guidance, as well-being of our students and staff is of paramount importance.

We recommend you continue your preparations whether these are related to immigration, finances, exams or otherwise with a view to commencing your studies as planned in September 2020.

We will continue to monitor and follow the latest Government guidelines. Please visit the UKVI website for the most up to date information from the UK Government on Tier 4 Visas: UKVI updates.
