If we have doubts about the validity of any qualifications you have listed in your application or questions about the content or level of your qualifications, we will usually share information in your application with third parties for the purposes of understanding and verifying your qualifications. This may include the organisation identified as having awarded a qualification, any external agency which provides a qualification checking service or UK Naric (the UK National Recognition Information Centre), which is contracted by the UK Department for Education to provide an official source of information on international education and training systems, and international qualifications and skills.

At the application stage we do not ask for or process within 蜜桃AV any information about matters on your criminal record.

As part of the UCAS process, applicants to regulated professions courses (i.e. courses intended to lead to registration with a regulated health or social care profession) are asked by UCAS to complete a relevant criminal matters declaration on the UCAS application form. However 蜜桃AV does not consider or take any account of this declaration within its admissions process unless and until 蜜桃AV has offered a place to the applicant and you have decided to accept the offer. At this point we ask offer-holders to declare certain criminal matters/convictions to 蜜桃AV: what you are asked to declare will depend on the course on which you鈥檝e been offered a place. Please see below for more information.

Your data processed within our admissions process at 蜜桃AV includes any information which you provide in your application or otherwise within these categories:

• Indicators of potential educational disadvantage and other widening participation factors, including whether you are a care-leaver

Under our Access蜜桃AV scheme, when assessing applications for undergraduate courses (including undergraduate apprenticeships) we take into account a number of factors which may have affected applicants鈥� access to education or previous academic performance. We make contextual offers to applicants who fall into one or more of the automatically-assessed categories listed on the Access蜜桃AV website (see the 鈥淓ligibility鈥� section at www.bournemouth.ac.uk/accessbu) or who submit an Access蜜桃AV application and supporting evidence to demonstrate how their personal circumstances have had a negative impact on their post-16 studies or performance at GCSE. This is in line with our Admissions policy and our Access & Participation Plan (as approved by OfS). If you are a care-leaver, if you are offered a place at 蜜桃AV this information will also be shared with our Student Services department so that they can determine what support 蜜桃AV may be able to provide with your studies and living arrangements.

• Necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on 蜜桃AV: compliance with Office for Student regulatory requirements to implement an approved Access & Participation plan, to increase access to higher education for currently under-represented categories of potential student

• Necessary for the performance of 蜜桃AV鈥檚 core public tasks: ensuring fair access to our higher education provision and widening participation in higher education, in accordance with our Access and Participation Plan approved by the Office for Students

• Health conditions, disabilities and needs for additional support, if this information is provided to us in your application or during the admissions process

The UCAS application form and the 蜜桃AV application form give you an opportunity to provide information about any disability you may have. You (or your referees) may also choose to tell us about any health condition or other support need you may have if you have questions about how this may affect study at 蜜桃AV or the support we would be able to offer you, or this has affected your previous study and you would like us to take this into account in the admissions process as described above. We use this information for statistical purposes, to enable us to signpost applicants to sources of support and for admissions purposes as a factor indicating educational disadvantage, as described above and in of our Admissions Policy 3B. Otherwise, this information is not considered as part of the admissions process and does not affect 蜜桃AV鈥檚 decision on whether to offer you a place, except in the exceptional situation where we determine that a disability, health condition or other support need means that it will not be possible you to meet the mandatory requirements of the course for which you have applied, even if you meet the academic criteria for admission and even if 蜜桃AV makes all reasonable adjustments to meet your needs. Further details about this are provided below, where we describe the information, we ask you to provide when you accept an offer from 蜜桃AV.

The UCAS application form and the 蜜桃AV application form collects ethnicity data from all applicants.

This information is special category data, and it is only provided to us by UCAS after the completion of the application cycle. It is processed only for the purposes of equal opportunities monitoring and analysis, to meet our duties under the Equality Act 2010. 蜜桃AV does not use it to take any decision about you.

Our response to your application will be shared by us with UCAS, who will communicate our decision to you. We are able to access your application and share information with UCAS through a secure portal system. Once we receive your application through UCAS, we will ask you to create an account within the 蜜桃AV myHub portal, which will use individual log-in details. The myHub system is part of the SITS records system which 蜜桃AV also uses to maintain student records. This enables you to monitor the progress of the admissions process and we will use the myHub portal to send you messages about your application.

Further information about processing of data within the UCAS process is provided in the UCAS privacy notices and the UCAS applicant terms, which are available on the . These should have been brought to your attention when you were preparing and submitting your UCAS application.

Where you apply directly through the 蜜桃AV website, you will be directed to complete an online application form. At this point you will be asked to create an account within the 蜜桃AV myHub system which will use individual log-in details.

Creating a myHub account at the application stage enables you to save drafts and work on the form over time and submit it online.

If you agree, we may also use the information in your myHub account to contact you to offer support with completing an application and provide you with further information

When you create a myHub account for your application we will ask whether you agree to us reviewing the content of your account and contacting you. The purpose of the contact would be to offer support with your draft application and provide further information which might be relevant in association with your application. We will only contact you in this way if you agree to it.

• Necessary in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, i.e. in order to apply our admissions process with a view to you receiving an offer and entering into our student agreement

• Consent: you have agreed to this processing

• Applications through Clearing

The data is processed by UCAS and 蜜桃AV in order to manage the application process and determine whether 蜜桃AV will offer you a place.

• Applications made through other organisations (including applications for the LLM Legal Practice)

Applications for some courses are received via other organisations who provide a gateway for particular applicants or to access particular courses. This includes applications for the LLM in Legal Practice, applications for the PG Dip MA Social Work (Children & Families) and Health Visiting/School Nursing programmes which are made through the Department for Education and applicants through the Common App process established in the USA. Applications received in this way will usually need to be entered manually into 蜜桃AV鈥檚 SITS/myHub system and processed as set out above.

Applications to other 蜜桃AV partner organisations are processed by the partners and 蜜桃AV does not have access to applicant personal data.
