📚 Will Universities Know About My Access Arrangements? | 大学会不会知道我申请了特殊安排?

Students who receive extra time, a reader, a scribe, a separate room or a word processor in their A-Level and IGCSE exams often ask the same question: when I apply to university, will they find out? The short answer is that there is no routine route by which access-arrangement records travel from your school or exam board into your university application. But "no routine route" is not the same as "never". This guide sets out exactly who holds what information, what is printed on your certificate, what UCAS asks you, what universities actually receive, and the realistic situations in which disclosure happens - with or without your control.

在 A-Level 和 IGCSE 考试中获得延时、朗读者、代笔者、单独考场或使用电脑等特殊安排的考生,几乎都会问同一个问题:申请大学时,招生官会不会知道?简短的回答是:并不存在一条常规途径,让你的特殊安排记录从学校或考试局流入大学申请材料。但"没有常规途径"不等于"永远不会"。本文将逐项说明:谁掌握了哪些信息、证书上印了什么、UCAS 会问你什么、大学实际收到什么,以及在哪些现实情形下信息会被披露——无论是否由你控制。


1. The Short Answer | 先说结论

Access arrangements are recorded in two places: your centre (school or college) and the awarding organisation (the exam board). Universities are not one of those places. When you apply through UCAS, the admissions team receives your application form, your qualifications, your personal statement, your reference and your predicted grades. A note saying "25% extra time granted" is not part of that package, and it is not printed on your certificate either.

特殊安排只记录在两个地方:你的考试中心(学校或学院)和颁证机构(考试局)。大学不在其中。通过 UCAS 申请时,招生团队收到的是申请表、资格信息、个人陈述、推荐信和预估成绩。"已获批 25% 延时"这类说明并不属于这份材料,也不会印在你的证书上。

So the default position is confidentiality. The exceptions are almost always driven by you - you disclose it, you request support, you submit evidence, or you ask for an adjustment in an admissions test or interview. A small number of exceptions are driven by your school or by a legal or regulatory process, and those are the ones worth understanding in detail.

因此,默认状态是保密的。例外情形几乎都由你自己触发——你主动告知、你申请支持、你提交证明材料,或者你在入学考试、面试中申请特殊安排。少数例外由学校或法律、监管程序触发,而这些正是最需要弄清楚的部分。


2. What Counts as an Access Arrangement | 哪些属于"特殊安排"

In the UK, access arrangements are governed by JCQ regulations for GCSE, A-Level and similar qualifications. They are not a favour granted informally; they are approved adjustments that must be justified by evidence of need and by the candidate's normal way of working. Typical arrangements include:

在英国,GCSE、A-Level 及同类资格的特殊安排由 JCQ 规章管理。它们不是学校随意给予的"人情",而是必须有需求证据、并符合考生"日常学习方式"的获批调整。常见类型包括:

The application itself is made by the centre, usually through Access Arrangements Online, and it requires the candidate's (or parent's) consent. Evidence is held by the school and can be inspected by the awarding organisation. That evidence typically includes standardised assessment scores, a specialist teacher report or a medical letter, and a record of how the arrangement has been used in class.

申请由考试中心提交,通常通过 Access Arrangements Online 系统完成,并且需要考生本人(或家长)同意。证据由学校保存,考试局有权调阅。这些证据通常包括标准化测评分数、专业教师报告或医学证明,以及该安排在课堂中如何被使用的记录。


3. Who Holds the Records | 记录掌握在谁手里

Think of your access-arrangement information as living in three concentric circles, none of which is the university's admissions office:

可以把你的特殊安排信息想象为三个同心圆,而它们之中没有一个是大学招生办:

Circle | 圈层Holds | 掌握者Typical content | 典型内容
Inner | 内圈School SENCO, exams officer, head of year | 学校特教协调员、考务官、年级主任Diagnostic reports, standardised scores, normal way of working | 诊断报告、标准化分数、日常学习方式记录
Middle | 中圈Awarding organisation (AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel, WJEC/Eduqas, CCEA) | 颁证机构Approved arrangement, candidate number, evidence on request | 获批安排、考生编号、按需调阅的证据
Outer | 外圈JCQ, regulators, appeals panels | JCQ、监管机构、申诉委员会Regulatory inspection, malpractice or appeal case files | 监管检查、作弊或申诉案卷

Schools usually retain access-arrangement evidence for a defined period after the exam series, both to satisfy JCQ inspection requirements and to support later appeals. If you want to know exactly what your school holds and for how long, you can ask - and you have a right to see your own records.

学校通常会在考试季结束后保留一段时间的特殊安排证据,既为了满足 JCQ 的检查要求,也为了支持后续申诉。如果你想知道学校到底保存了什么、保存多久,可以直接询问——你有权查阅自己的记录。

4. Certificates and Results Slips | 证书与成绩单上印了什么

An A-Level or GCSE certificate is deliberately austere. It carries your name, the centre, the subject, the level, the series and the grade. There is no field for "extra time", "reader used" or "separate room". The same is true of results slips issued on results day, and of the electronic results data sent to UCAS.

A-Level 或 GCSE 证书是刻意简洁的:姓名、考试中心、科目、级别、考试季和成绩。上面没有"使用延时""使用朗读者""单独考场"这类字段。成绩公布日发的成绩单以及发送给 UCAS 的电子成绩数据同样如此。

This is a design principle, not an oversight. Access arrangements exist to remove a barrier, not to qualify a grade. A grade achieved with 25% extra time is the same grade as one achieved without it, and the certificate is not meant to imply otherwise. Nothing in the awarding-organisation data set that universities can access flags a candidate as having had adjustments.

这是制度设计原则,而非疏漏。特殊安排的目的是消除障碍,而不是给成绩"打折扣"。用 25% 延时取得的成绩与没有延时取得的成绩是同一个成绩,证书也不应暗示其他含义。大学可访问的颁证机构数据中,没有任何字段会标记某位考生曾获得调整。


5. What UCAS Asks You | UCAS 会问你什么

UCAS does ask about disability and learning difficulty - but the question is yours to answer, and the sharing decision is separate from the answering decision. The form includes a list such as dyslexia, blind or partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing, a long-standing illness, a mental health condition, a social or communication impairment (including autistic spectrum conditions), and "prefer not to say".

UCAS 确实会询问残障与学习困难情况——但答与不答由你决定,而且"是否告知大学"与"是否填写"是两个独立的选项。表格中列出的选项包括:阅读障碍、失明或部分失明、失聪或听力障碍、长期疾病、心理健康状况、社交或沟通障碍(包括自闭症谱系)、以及"不愿透露"。

Critically, UCAS then asks whether you want universities and colleges to see this information. If you say yes, it becomes part of the record your chosen universities receive, and it is normally routed to student support services, though the applicant record itself may be visible more widely. If you say no, UCAS keeps the data for monitoring and statistical purposes only and does not pass it on.

关键在于,UCAS 随后会问:你是否希望大学和学院看到这条信息。如果你选择"是",它就会成为你所申请大学收到的记录的一部分,通常会被转给学生支持部门,但申请人档案本身可能被更广泛地看到。如果你选择"否",UCAS 仅将数据用于监测和统计,不会转交。

Note also that access arrangements and a diagnosed condition are not the same thing. Many students with extra time have never had a formal diagnosis, and many students with a diagnosis have never needed extra time. UCAS asks about the condition, not about the arrangement.

还要注意:特殊安排与已确诊的状况并不等同。许多拿到延时的学生从未有正式诊断,而许多有诊断的学生从未需要延时。UCAS 问的是"状况",不是"安排"。


6. What Universities Actually Receive | 大学实际收到什么

When a university receives your application, it sees the UCAS form, your personal statement, your reference, your predicted grades, and - once results are released - your confirmed grades pulled through from the awarding organisations. Confirmation data includes the board, the subject, the level and the grade. It does not include a candidate's access-arrangement status.

大学收到你的申请时,看到的是 UCAS 表格、个人陈述、推荐信、预估成绩,以及成绩公布后从颁证机构直接拉取的确认成绩。确认数据包括考试局、科目、级别和成绩,不包含考生的特殊安排状态。

Information | 信息Held by | 保存者Seen by university? | 大学能看到吗
Approved access arrangement | 获批特殊安排Centre + awarding organisation | 学校 + 考试局No | 否
Diagnostic assessment report | 诊断测评报告School, family | 学校、家庭No, unless you supply it | 否,除非你主动提交
Special consideration awarded | 获批特殊考虑加分Awarding organisation | 考试局No | 否
Certificate grade | 证书成绩Awarding organisation, UCAS | 考试局、UCASYes | 是
UCAS disability declaration | UCAS 残障申报UCASOnly if you consent | 仅在你同意时
Extenuating circumstances claim | 特殊情况申报University | 大学Yes, including evidence | 是,含证明材料

7. When Universities Can Find Out | 大学可能知情的现实情形

There are a limited number of realistic disclosure routes. Knowing them lets you decide which ones you are comfortable with.

现实中可能的披露路径是有限的。了解它们,你才能判断哪些是自己可以接受的。
