The example conditional offer describes how to set up a conditional offer 136 UCAS including grade A in biology and physics.

Conditional

For a conditional offer, add an offer library with the decision profile Conditional and then define the flow of the academic conditions and clearance checks that make up the conditional offer.

Attention.

To add conditional offers, the academic conditions and clearance checks of the offer conditions must have been already added to the reference data.

For example, the table below Conditional offer library shows an offer library for a conditional offer that requires Grade AA.

Field Value
Code Unique code
Description Grade AA
Decision profile Conditional
Offer library type Main decision
Main decision offer text Obtain two A levels at grade AA.
Additional conditions offer text Leave empty
Review status Review status, such as Draft, if Review required is selected.

After adding the offer, define the flow of the offer conditions. On the offer library, go to vertical ellipsis Manage flow and then define the flow. The table Offer conditions flow details the condition flows, such as Conditions and Included conditions, and how to group conditions, and edit the flow.

Condition flow Description
Conditions

Add academic conditions, such as qualifications, or non-academic conditions, such as clearance checks, to the conditions flow. Add a condition as follows:

  • At the bottom of the conditions flow, select Add decision condition condition. If the condition already has conditions, the new condition is added to the end.
  • On a condition, go to the button to view additional options and then select Add condition before or Add condition after.

Then, set whether the condition is an Academic or Non-academic condition and then enter the condition such as Grade AA. Non-academic conditions such as DBS check are added to applications as clearance checks.

Attention. You must delete any included conditions before you can delete a condition.
Included conditions

Add included conditions to academic conditions. For example, for the academic condition Grade AA add included conditions such as A level Maths and Chemistry. Add an included condition as follows:

  • On a condition, go to the button to view additional options and then select Add included condition and then enter the condition.
  • To add more included conditions, select the add button.
Group conditions

Create groups of conditions for more complex condition flows. Create a group as follows:

  • On a condition, go to Add group and then select the condition number to close the group. For example, Open and close on 3 closes the group on the condition with the sequence number 3. Note that you can only close on conditions therefore the numbers of included conditions are not shown in the list.

To remove group, go to Remove group and then select the condition number to remove the group from. For example, Remove from 1 removes the group on the condition with the sequence number 1.

Flow position

Move the position of a condition in the flow as follows:

  • On the condition, go to the button to view additional options and then select Swap up or Swap down to move the condition up or down in the flow.
