We can provide you with all your underlying data as a computer readable data file, under an internal-use EXACT licence – free of charge.
In previous years, we’ve supplied you with your underlying data from EXACT (refreshed with the previous cycle data) as a one-off supply. This year, we’ve supplied multiple data files throughout the year, so you can access more up-to-date information about your position, enabling you to replicate analysis you could commission through EXACT.
The next data supply will be the June deadline (2020 cycle) data files, on 20 July 2020.
What you need to do
If you already opted in to receive the 2019 end of cycle data files back in December, or the 2020 January deadline data files back in February, you’re already opted in for these data supplies and don’t need to do so again.
If you didn’t opt in to receive these data files, but would like to receive the 2020 June deadline data, your UCAS Primary Correspondent needs to complete this request form, agree to the terms and conditions, and return the form to exact@ucas.ac.uk, by Thursday 20 August 2020.
File details
- Files will be provided in CSV format, and will contain one record for each of your applications and acceptances.
- Files contain just over 60 fields, including applicant ID, each following the analytical EXACT definitions. A file listing these definitions will also be provided.
After you’ve returned your signed request form, you will be able to access the 2020 June deadline data files through MOVEit, the secure file transfer service, from 17:00 on Monday 20 July until 17:00 on Friday 21 August 2020.
