Checking the status of your application

Find out how to check the status of your application, once your results are available.

Confirmation

Confirmation is the process which takes place after the University receives your exam results. This is when we’ll confirm whether you’ve met the terms of your offer and whether we’re able to accept you onto your chosen course. If we're your firm choice and you meet or exceed the terms of your offer, you don't need to contact us, you're in!

Confirmation happens once exam results are published, which for A levels taken in 2025 will be on 14 August. Where we have received all results, we aim to make a decision on A level results day, but if we've been unable to make a decision, you can contact us for advice. For other qualifications, such as IB and Access awards, exam results are published in July and we’ll confirm your place as soon as possible after this if you meet the conditions of your offer.

If you're an international student, we may be waiting for further results beyond your main academic qualifications. Please visit UCAS to check the status of your application and see if there are any outstanding documents you need to send to us. You can also email the Admissions team at ugosi@liverpool.ac.uk for advice.

How to check you’ve been accepted when your results are available

  • Visit UCAS to view the status of your application
  • If we're your firm choice and you meet or exceed the terms of your offer, you don't need to contact us, you’re in!
  • If you don't meet the terms of your offer for the course that you originally applied for, we may sometimes be able to make you an offer for an alternative course instead. You can accept or decline this offer via UCAS and any deadline to reply will be communicated to you by UCAS
  • We consider all information included in your application, including contextual data and extenuating circumstances. So, in some cases, you may be accepted even if you’ve missed the terms of your offer
  • If we were your firm choice and have been unable to accept you on this occasion, you should check your status at your insurance choice. If you've not been accepted at your insurance choice, or if you would prefer to study at Liverpool, you can check if we have spaces on a different course through Clearing
