From this date, Extra vacancies will be displayed in the UCAS search tool and eligible applicants will be able to add an additional choice to their application in Track. Please complete all updates to your Extra vacancies by Friday 24 February, so these are displayed as expected when Extra starts.
At the beginning of the 2017 cycle, all courses were defaulted to 'both' (open) for Extra (original bulletin message stated incorrectly, all courses were defaulted to 'None' (closed) for Extra). You can now set your courses as having vacancies in Extra for one of the following categories:
- all
- international only
- none
- UK (excluding Northern Ireland) and international
- UK (excluding Scotland) and international
- UK and EU
- UK excluding Northern Ireland
- UK excluding Scotland

- sign in to Course Collect
- go to the ‘Vacancies’ tab
- tick the vacancy purpose box for Extra
- either search for an individual programme, or click ‘Search’ to view all programmes
