This guide is intended to help those who have been successful at interview and received a conditional offer with the additional checks that are required throughout the teacher training application process. Please read through the information carefully and contact us as soon as possible if you have any questions or need further advice at any stage of the application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deferring a place:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BEd, PGCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We can only defer unconditional places; therefore, you will need to meet all your conditions<\/a> as if you were starting in September. Should you wish to defer you will need to inform us at admissions@glos.ac.uk<\/a> as soon as possible. Please note that some checks will need to be repeated the summer before you start, such as the suitability declaration, health check, DBS and references. We advise that you use method one below for your DBS and register it with the Update Service so that you will not be required to apply again for a new check the following year. If you do not register your DBS with the Update Service this will need to be redone in the 3 months before the course starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your checks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to accept your offer of a place, there are further checks you will need to complete before you can enrol on the course. The table below gives an overview of these and the action that is required for each. More information about each check can be found in the further information section below the table. Please ensure you read this information fully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the exception of A Level and Degree results due in August, all other conditions should be met as soon as possible and no later than Friday 31 July 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please keep us informed (via admissions@glos.ac.uk<\/a>) of any potential delays in meeting conditions, so that we can advise and help you with alternative arrangements as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delays in completing your conditions will impact on your eligibility to enrol, to access student finance and to access university\/course resources. If you do not keep us informed of potential delays, you additionally risk losing your place on the course.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
