System Downtime: The UAL Portal will be unavailable on Thursday 30th July 2026 from 7am to 9am (BST) due to essential system maintenance.
UAL Applicant Portal unavailable:
Due to restrictions placed on us by UCAS, known as the UCAS Embargo, the UAL Applicant Portal will be unavailable to undergraduate applicants and offer holders during the dates and times listed. Times are shown in BST (British Summer Time).
- 5pm Monday 27 July until 9am Tuesday 4 August 2026
- 5pm Thursday 6 August until 8am Thursday 13 August 2026
To make a deposit and/or tuition fee payment whilst the UAL Portal is unavailable, use our official payment partner Flywire: arts.flywire.com.
During both embargo periods no matter what study level you’ve applied for, you won’t receive any email notifications from UAL about your application or offer.
UAL staff and in-country representatives with access to view applicant details may be unable to do so during the embargo.
