Please ensure you have set the appropriate ‘Business rule’ which sets the ‘Equal consideration deadline’ (ECD) for your courses.
Only specific Medicine, Veterinary Science and Dentistry courses should have the October deadline assigned, all others should have the ‘Standard’ business rule set, with the January Equal Consideration Deadline.
Remember - you can’t update vacancies and/or close courses until the deadline has passed and you have received confirmation from UCAS that the ‘on-time’ applications have been successfully processed. Closing courses before the completion of processing can result in valid on-time choices being removed from applications.
Details and guidance on how to update vacancies, set courses to CCAO and all other Collection Tool functions can be found in the Collection Tool Support Guide.
