How to prepare for Results Day 

As Results Day approaches...

If you're planning to come to Essex have you applied for accommodation yet?

We very much hope to welcome you to campus in October, and as a first year with Essex you're guaranteed University-owned accommodation so long as you apply by the deadline, 13 September 2024. From the iconic Towers to our newest accommodation, The Pastures, we have no doubt that you'll settle straight into your new home. Time to start checking out your options.

If we're your Firm choice you can apply for your accommodation here. If we're your Insurance choice and you are yet to receive an email inviting you to apply please email us at admit@essex.ac.uk

Regardless of who your Firm or Insurance choices are, now's the time to take five minutes and step back from it all.

The hard work is done (for now), and we know the run up to Results Day can feel stressful, but you’re not alone and your mental health should be taking priority right now. Over the next few weeks take some time out to do the things you enjoy. That might be a walk, watching your favourite film, or splashing out on a fancy bath bomb for a luxurious bath. Take the time to relax.

When the big day arrives...

Here we are, Results Day. We wish you the very best of luck!

If things go well…

You did it! (We knew that you would). If you’re showing as Unconditional Firm on UCAS Hub then you’ve done it! We’ve been able to confirm your offer and your place at Essex is secured. Congratulations! You’ll also find your confirmation letter on your MyEssex portal. Now call your family, facetime your friends and kick off those celebrations - you are now officially one of us, so welcome to the family! Check out next steps for new students here.

If things don’t go to plan…

We’re so sorry this hasn’t worked out how you hoped. But this absolutely is not the end of the world. Take the time to talk to someone you trust and chat through potential next steps. Clearing may well be for you, which might feel scary right now, but it shouldn’t. Have a read through our Clearing pages and whenever you're ready, let's talk...
