UCAS down as students struggle to log in on A-level results day
UCAS's website appears not to be working properly, as students log on to find out whether they have been successful on A-level results day.
The problems come amid more widespread issues with the A-level process this year, as schools and the government have struggled to give students accurate grades amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The UCAS outages mean that some of those students are now unable to get onto the "Track" part of the website, which is used to see whether applications to university have been successful.
That can be a key way for students to understand whether they have achieved the grades they need to get into university. It also allows people to know whether they have been accepted in the event they fail to meet those required grades.
