An investigation has been launched after an awarding body missed the deadline for submitting Access to HE Diploma grades, resulting in 1,600 students experiencing a delay in finding out whether they have gained a university place.
The Skills and Education Group (SEG) has apologised for the “frustration and added anxiety” the blunder has caused, which has been blamed on a “file issue”. It hopes to resolve the issue within the next 24 hours.
The deadline for submitting Access to HE Diploma results to UCAS was Monday (July 25), and the deadline for the universities admissions body’s processing was yesterday (July 28).
