Known issues
Callers often experience long wait times during peak scholarship application periods, especially near major deadlines. To mitigate this, it is recommended to use email or online inquiry options during busy times. Additionally, phone support hours are limited compared to general university hours, which can lead to missed connections. For inquiries outside phone hours, using email or the askUCL service is advisable. These alternatives can provide timely assistance and help avoid the frustration of extended wait times.
