Uploading Documents

If your qualifications are not being sent directly to UofG by SQA or JCQ via UCAS, you will need to self-upload documentary evidence to your Applicant Self-Service.

Applicant Self-Service

You will be able to upload documents via the to-do list section. From here you will see any documents we have requested you to upload. You will also have the option to upload any supporting documents via this section.

To access the to do list please select:

  • applications
  • > choose the application you wish to upload document(s) to
  • > click application status
  • > to-do list.

You will be able to confirm a document has been successfully uploaded when the item in the to-do list changes status and says "received". When the status changes to "received" this means also means that the Admissions Officer has been notified that the uploaded documents are available to view.

If, after the Admissions Officer has reviewed your documents, the status of a to-do list item changes to "complete" all is in order with the documents uploaded. However, if the status changes to "returned" this means that the document was not accepted, and we require further documentation from you. If you have any queries about a returned document, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us to request further clarification.

You will be able to upload documents through the online application form before you submit your application.
 
If you are trying to upload documents to a submitted application then you must use Applicant Self-Service. Make sure you are in Applicant Self-Service and not the Online Application form. 
 
Documents must be uploaded in .jpg, .jpeg or .pdf format and must not exceed 5MB in size. There is a maximum 10MB upload size for all documents with the application.

Common App applications

Your Application 

Your Gateway to Glasgow portal for the Common App is your primary means of engaging with your application. Once all documents have been received and reviewed, you have accepted an unconditional offer, and your personal details confirmed for CAS purposes, your details will be imported to the University of Glasgow student portal for academic and financial registration.

Meeting Your Conditions 

The final date to upload all documents required as evidence to meet your offer conditions and to confirm your personal details for CAS purposes is 31 July 2025. If you do not upload all required documents by this date, your offer will be withdrawn.

The supporting evidence option has been added to the documents section of your common app portal to allow you to upload additional documents to your application, without admissions requesting a specific document.  This could include a document which you forgot to upload with your original application, a copy of a new passport photo page or proof of scholarship funding, to name a few. 

This item is available for additional documents which you would like to provide, it is not for a specific document required to progress your application and will not delay a decision on your application or prevent an offer being made.

If you have multiple documents which you wish to upload as supporting evidence, you must merge these all into one PDF file as you can only use this option once.

Accommodation 

Register your interest in student accommodation in your Gateway to Glasgow portal as soon as possible. The deadline to do so within the Gateway to Glasgow portal is 14 July 2025.   

Applying for finance

You can apply for student finance before your place is confirmed, and up to nine months after you start your course.

We recommend applying as soon as you can to ensure you receive your funds in time for the start of your studies. Late applications may mean a delay in receipt of your payments at the start of term.

You can also start to look at our scholarships and funding to see if you are eligible for additional funding.
