This article aims to guide counselors on what they would need to do when a student submits a UK application on Direct Apply. If you want more information on how the student flow is like, please refer to this help article. Do note that students will have access to Student Education Advisors (SEAs) who will help them, with you, in this process.
Step #1: Viewing the student's UK application
Go to cDocs
Select the student > Submissions tab
You'll find a section under Direct Apply
Step #2 UCAS Reference Letter
If you need further guidance on writing a UCAS reference letter, you can refer to this help article.
To prepare the UCAS Reference Letter for your student's UCAS applications on Direct Apply, follow the steps below:
Go to cDocs
Select the student > Documents tab
Select "UCAS Reference Letter"
You'll be led to the below text box where you'll need to complete the letter. The character limit for a UCAS reference letter is 4000 characters or 47 lines (whichever comes first). You will not be able to add more text if the limit has been reached.
Save the letter by clicking the "Save" button.
Once the letter is saved, "UCAS Reference Letter" button will not be available and you'll be able to see it at the Documents tab of the student.
If you've not submitted it yet, feel free to select the pencil icon to edit the letter.
Step #3: Upload Predicted Grades
Go to cDocs
Select the student > Documents tab
Select "Upload"
You can either drop the file from there or use our template if needed and drop the file to be uploaded afterward.
Step #4: Sending Documents for the UK application
Now that you've created your UCAS Letter of Reference, uploaded your predicted grades, you're at the final step - submitting the documents for the application!
Go to cDocs
Select the student > Submissions tab
Select the UK/UCAS application
Click "Send" to send the Letter of Reference and predicted grades.
And you're done!
