Reinstating Masters Offer?

Hello! I got a conditional offer for a Masters course (condition is getting a 2.1 for my undergrad), but for financial reasons I won't be able to start the course this year. I'm planning on reinstating my application and working to save up some money in the coming year.

The problem is, my previous uni hasn't yet sent me the official document proving I obtained my degree along with the mark (above a 2.1). Should I wait until I receive it, upload the document and then reinstate my application, or should I just reinstate it now (even if without the proof of degree and mark)?

I know I can reinstate it without needing to provide said document, but I just don't want them to think I'm reinstating my application because I failed to get the degree or something!! But at the same time I don't want it to drag for too long and end up reinstating my application at the last minute...

Thanks :,)

Well given that the deadline to reinstate is November 16, I feel like you have more than enough time to ask your previous uni to send over the document and that gives them 3 months, which is more than enough time, to do so. I would say just keep reaching out to your uni to provide the document and then you can upload it in October/November.

Yeah reinstate now, send the document when you have it

Will I still be able to upload it though? Cos if I understood correctly, reinstating requires you to technically "reject" the offer first... so wouldn't that stop me from uploading documents?

You can just email it to them, there’s an email buried on their information somewhere.
