Other admissions

Applicants categorised as ‘other’ can include:

• those applying to intercalated or collaborative programmes (for which Edinburgh is not the admitting institution)
• part-time undergraduates
• visiting postgraduates and Medical & Veterinary elective students
• those applying to PhD by publication or higher degrees (for example DLitt or DSc)

Processes

Applicants must be accepted outside EUCLID before you enter their application.

Once an unconditional offer has been accepted and the application has been entered, a student record will be created six weeks before the student’s start date.

Guidance

Where to add an application

Navigate to the Other Admissions tab in EUCLID and you will see three types of Other Admissions Application Links. Select the one for the applications you are about to process

• Postgraduate Application Form
• Undergraduate Application Form
• Visiting Student Application Form

If the selected point of entry is not available for the programme you are using you will need to request that an apply link is opened by Student Systems.

Making changes to submitted applications

If you need to make any changes to the application data or withdraw the application you can process these via the 'Application Clearance & Decision Entry (ACD).

If you need to change a visiting student programme start date to a mid-month date then you can update this using the 'Maintain Non-standard Start Dates' function.

Confirm a submitted application

Once the applications have been submitted you can confrim them in EUCLID by pressing the 'Confirm Submitted Applications' button on the Other Admissions tab.

You can use the filters to on the 'Retrieve' screen to narrow down the applications you pull back. We would recommend checking that The College and School fields match those of the programme you are hoping to retrieve applicants on.

Please note that you may not immediately see applications you process here as they might have been flagged as needing matched to an existing student UUN. This is done manually by the Student Systems team and so there may be a 2-5 working day delay on seeing these. If you cannot see your applicant after 5 working days then you can contact the team for further support.
