This page is part of the Christ's College current applicants section.

- your name
- your subject (including 'Biological' or 'Physical' if Natural Sciences)
- your UCAS number
- which country you are applying from
Current questions
Can I put a digital signature on my written work coversheet rather than printing and signing it?
Yes.
What if I've done something wrong in sending a document to you?
Please don't worry: we'll let you know if we need you to do something differently (and be prepared - we'll badger you a lot if you forget to include the details we need at the start of all emails!).
Please could you check I've done everything I need to?
No - sorry. Please check what you need to do by looking through the information in the current applicants section. For each thing please ask yourself a) is it relevant to me and b) have I done it? Please always check that you see the screen confirming that a form has been submitted, and keep email acknowledgements for forms submitted if you want a record (no, we can't re-send these). If you're still feeling unsure please ask a parent, guardian or friend to read through the table with you if you think it would help.
I've made a mistake on my MyCApp form but it's already submitted. What can I do?
We can't edit the MyCApp. If you made a significant mistake, please write to us at admissions@christs.cam.ac.uk, starting your email with the normal details:
Your name (exactly as you wrote it for UCAS, surname in CAPITALS)
Your intended course (incl. 'Biological or Physical' if Natural Sciences)
Your UCAS number (no dashes)
Which country you are applying from
Please write out the question from your MyCApp in bold (you can use the relevant preview of My Cambridge Application to find the question), and then write underneath it the correct answer that you would like to give. We will add the information to your application file.

Will I need to send you my TMUA results when I get them?
No - if you're applying for Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Law, Medicine or Natural Sciences and are sitting the relevant Admissions Test, we will receive your results automatically.
Questions on late forms & documents
I've missed a deadline. What should I do?
It is now too late to submit the My Cambridge Application or the Christ's Info Form (both 22 Oct deadlines).
Otherwise, we have a 'no fuss' approach to missed deadlines. If you can see what to do below and then do it quickly, correctly (i.e. follow the instructions on the relevant page precisely) and without fuss, we will do our best to process it efficiently for you. What we don't have capacity to do is answer emails about late forms and documents. Thank you for your understanding. We will only consider information that is in your file at the time it is read.

Questions from international applicants
The translation for my transcript will not be available in time for the 22 Oct My Cambridge Application deadline. What should I do?
Please submit your original transcript as part of your My Cambridge Application and ensure that it is submitted by 18:00 UK time on 22 Oct. If you have already submitted your My Cambridge Application, please instead submit your original transcript as an additional document to meet the 22 Oct deadline. Once you have received the English translation, please upload it as an additional document, following the instructions on the page. The upload tool will still be available after 22 October.
Should I submit my IELTS scores? I put the results in my UCAS application but am not sure if you need proof
You do not need to send documents. If we select you for an offer we will ask you for these post offer. Please just do the things we have asked you to do - we do not want you to send additional things.
I will be taking an English language test (e.g. IELTS) during the application process. How do I submit my scores after I have taken the test?
Please upload the Test Report form as an additional document. NB if you're not already booked in for a test, there's no need to book for one - probably easier to wait and see if you get an offer, and if yes, whether there is an English language requirement. In more cases than you might think, we will not need to set a requirement, and if we do need to, you'll have until June to sit the test and meet it.
