Are there new guidelines regarding the evidence needed to apply for a DSA?
We are aware of possible changes to evidence criteria for DSAs; however, there have been no further updates or clarification. At the moment, as an institution and to qualify for exam arrangements - which is totally separate from the DSA process - we require post-16 evidence that meets our criteria. Even with future changes, we may not accept reports from childhood, as they may not be relevant to studying in Higher Education, and we are unlikely to accept a JCQ Form 8. At the present time and until we have seen the new criteria, we are unable to provide you with any more information to inform your decision about whether to proceed with obtaining an updated assessment.
