Insurance placeholders
We’re really pleased you’ve chosen us as your Insurance choice! Your Insurance choice is essentially your 'back up', so if you don’t meet your offer at your Firm choice and they are not able to accept you, your firm choice will change automatically to us as long as you meet the conditions of your offer at Falmouth.
If we change from being your Insurance choice to your Firm choice after you receive your results, we recognise that this change may be disappointing for you since we were not your top choice originally. So, we've put together some information to help make the process a little clearer and so you know where you can get help and support should you require it.
