I am unable to upload documents?
You can only upload documents that have been requested by an Admissions Officer. You will see any requested documents in the To-Do List on the Applicant Self-Service portal. If there are no items listed in your To-Do List, it means we do not require any documents from you at this time.
Documents must be uploaded in .jpg, .jpeg or .pdf format and must not exceed 5MB in size. There is a maximum 10MB upload size for all documents with the application. You can find instructions on how to upload a document in the video below.
Please note: this video was produced for UCAS and direct admissions applicants so some of the features in the video may not be available for UCAS applicants.

During these Embargo periods we will process results for SQA Highers and Advanced Highers and A Levels and BTEC Diplomas ahead of key results dates:
