Lower offers

Speak to your careers advisor to explore your options

In extenuating circumstances and with the support of their career's advisor, compact applicants who feel they would benefit from a lower offer can request that a lower offer is made.

The request needs to made at least 2 weeks prior to their application being submitted and careers advisors/teachers must feel that the student can succeed at higher education but may not currently be achieving at the level expected.

These circumstances may be related to health, personal circumstances for example in care/care leaver, a young carer or estranged from parents/family etc or similar. Requests can be sent to compact@chi.ac.uk.
