Reapplications

If you were unsuccessful in an application in one year’s exercise, and you apply for the same office/post in the next available exercise, you will be considered a reapplicant. Each application must be judged on its own merits. A maximum of two applications in any rolling three-year period is permissible.  An exemption to this rule may be granted in exceptional circumstances, provided that it has the support of your Head of Institution and Head of School.  Such support must be evidenced in written statements, explaining the reasons for the exemption, and provided to the HR Reward Team (acp@admin.cam.ac.uk). 

Note: For the 2026–27 ACP 6–9 exercise, all applications will be considered new applications, as this is the inaugural year of the scheme.
