Check and confirm an applicant's status with ease
With DIDS you can check a UCAS applicant's status online without needing them to come into a branch or supply physical evidence of their place at university or college. While not an identity checking service, this provides a simple, barrier-free solution to check an applicant’s UCAS status as to whether they are placed or hold an offer from a university.
