Non-urgent advice: Urgent message for Eligibility applicants who used Oriel on 19 July 2024
Applicants who used the Oriel application system on 19 July 2024 are urgently advised to check their account and application as it may have been impacted by a Hicom technical update to the system. Please accept our apologies for asking you to do this and for any additional work that this may create for you.
Full details and actions for affected applicants can be found here, along with a flow-chart which explains how some applicants will be impacted by this issue.
Applicants should also refer to the statement published by Hicom on the Oriel website. The issues on Oriel were system wide and have impacted applicants and administrators across all staff groups and training programmes who use Oriel.
In recognition of the additional impact that this has had on some applicants the UKFPO have further extended the application deadline until 25 July 2024 (12:00 midday BST).
