Latest News

Update your Smartlead UCAS scanning app

Update 21 March 2025

The latest update of the Smartlead UCAS app (version 1.33.140325 ) is now available. We recommend downloading the updated version prior to scanning at your next event, to ensure you are fully prepared. 

The Smartlead UCAS app has a number of general security improvements which includes reduced data retention within the app. Your lead scanning data will now be available in the app up to 8 weeks after each event. After 8 weeks the data will be wiped from the app to increase efficiency and to build on data security measures.   

Data that is not synced to your ENet account within 8 weeks of an event will be lost. Synced data will continue to be available in Enet as usual. 

If you have any queries, please contact us at eventstechnical@ucas.ac.uk

An easier way to submit your risk assessments for 2025 through ENet

Update 29 January 2025 

We have improved the way you submit your risk assessments and health and safety documents through ENet: 

  • Assign your risk assessment and health and safety documents to specific events.
  • See what date you submitted your documents.
  • Save your actions and finish submitting later.
  • Delete an incomplete/saved action.

IMPORTANT: Ensure your risk assessment file name details your organisation name, year of events e.g. 2025 and the events covered. e.g. University of England UCAS Discovery All Campus Events 2025 (or list all events Aberdeen London etc).

Visit the Health and Safety page for more information.
