1. Personal Details Form

• Make sure your parent/guardian has signed your personal details form and you have successfully submitted the form with this added
• Make sure all information on your submitted personal details form is accurate and correct.

2. Are you expected to be in school on either of the in-person event dates?

• We’ve tried our best to schedule these in-person events during half-term, however not all schools in the UK have the same holidays as others.
  
  If you are expected to be in school on the 14th of February and/or the 27th of March, please speak to your school staff and parent/guardian in good time so that you can arrange the day off. Both the UCL Expand Welcome Event & the UCL Expand Graduation Event last the duration of the day (10:00 - 16:00).
  
  We understand that getting time off school to come to campus might be difficult, so if you need to, please use the button below to request a letter to show your parent/guardian/teacher. This letter will explain a bit more about the programme, and the importance of attending the in-person events
