Hook   10 #1 Posted August 17, 2006 My brother's trying to get through to Hallam to try and get some information about whether he can get onto his course or not. He keeps ringing the number on the website, but it just rings out. I was wondering if anybody knew a direct number that somebody might answer, or a better way to try and get some information out of them? The 0845 number doesn't appear to do anything and he's going crazy!  If there's somebody who works there or something who can just offer something reassuring, he's tearing himself apart!

Throngor   10 #4 Posted August 17, 2006 Is it the 0845 147 3503 number he's trying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hook   10 #5 Posted August 17, 2006 Is it the 0845 147 3503 number he's trying?  Yup, he says it just rings and rings and then eventually stops without anybody answering! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rook   10 #6 Posted August 17, 2006 I work there and I'm also trying to get onto a course there. I rung the 0845 number and got through ok, although I did have to wait a while.  The main number for the uni is 0114 225 5555 so you could try that.  Otherwise, there is a clearing reception at city campus if he's about in town.

Leg-end   10 #10 Posted August 17, 2006 Course that's all easy for somebody to say, but try when it's your future at stake.  It took me all morning to get through when I did mine years ago.  Everytime i tried i could feel my 'Conditional' place slipping away and going to all the people that were getiing through, but it doesn't work like that - all conditional places are held until the person confirms otherwise.

Hook   10 #12 Posted August 17, 2006 All solved, he got into his first choice (which wasn't Hallam, so thankfully he won't be joining me in Sheffield!)  So proud, thanks for the help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
