Congratulations to all students who successfully submitted their application to Cambridge by the 15th October deadline - but now another deadline looms. All applicants must have completed their SAQ (Supplementary Application Questionnaire) by 22nd October to ensure a valid application.
 

As part of the Cambridge application process, applicants are asked to complete a SAQ to ensure the most complete and consistent information is made available. It allows us to collect information that isn’t part of the UCAS application but which is helpful when assessing applicants. This includes topics covered as part of your AS/A level (or equivalent) courses and UMS marks obtained, which helps our interviewers decide which questions to ask and, if applicable, registration numbers for admissions tests.

Once your UCAS application has been received by the University, a message regarding SAQ will be sent to the email address specified in the application. In this email you’ll be given the web address of the online Supplementary Application Questionnaire, your personal login details and a date by which you must complete it. In the majority of cases this deadline will be 22 October 2009.
 

To complete your SAQ you’ll need:

- your UCAS Personal ID number 

- the temporary SAQ Password we sent you by email

- passport style digital photograph of yourself

- your BMAT registration number (if applicable)

- details of the units you have taken/are taking including the UMS results achieved so far (if you have taken/are taking modular AS/A levels)

- details of the band scores you have achieved (if you have taken Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers). 
 

If you have all the above information to hand and have thought about your answers to those questions requiring a comment or statement, we estimate that you could complete the SAQ in around an hour.
 

You’ll find detailed guidance about completing the SAQ and a short video demonstrating the main features of the questionnaire by following the link in the side bar. If you are unable to complete the SAQ online for any reason or have any other queries regarding completion please contact Cambridge Admissions Office as soon as possible (01223 333308/saqhelp@cao.cam.ac.uk).
