may remember me rambling on about uni's once or twice before on this board, now need some advice.
v. confused by many people saying i dont need to apply thru ucas to go back to uni ( i quit at xmas) and others say i do. anyway ive decided to make doubly sure and get an application form, but i need a reference, i swore blind i'd never set foot in my school again when i left, plus its been 2 years, don't know if going back there after so long to ask for a ref. is gonna be any good to me
so the question is, is there anyone else i can get a reference off that uni's will accept when they receive my (incredibly late) application?

So just go to your school, talk to your tutor and explain the situation and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to give you a reference
..... it would look odd if you applied without one, when it has only been 2 yrs......
.... it should be fine.

i'll get onto it next week. thanks people
There should be guidelines on who to get to do the reference, that will indicate who should be used if you have been in work for so long, etc..
This page is UCAS may help
I've written UCAS references for volunteers who have worked for me before.
