15 October deadline
We’d like to remind you that the application deadline for all courses to Oxford or Cambridge, and most courses in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine/science, is 18:00 (UK time) on Thursday 15 October 2015.
We reminded potential applicants of the deadline by email last week, and will be sending a further targeted email this week. We’re also pushing out frequent messages on our social media channels. Our Customer Experience Centre has extended its opening hours to support applicants in the run-up to the deadline:
- Wednesday 14 October 08:00 – 19:00
- Thursday 15 October 08:00 – 18:00
Record of Prior Acceptance (RPA) through web-link
We’d like to remind you that if any 2015 cycle applications have been made directly to you for a course recruited for through UCAS, you’re obliged to complete an RPA before Wednesday 21 October 2015.
You can access the RPA through web-link. The information requested is the minimum required to complete a UCAS application, and what you need for your HESA return. Before completing an RPA, please check in web-link that the applicant has not already made a UCAS application.
The RPA process allows us to complete an accurate record of those applying to and accepting places in higher education, and assists providers in compiling student records and avoiding fraud. There is no application fee, but we do charge the capitation fee.
You can download a PDF of the RPA from web-link for applicants to complete. However, we’d encourage you to enter the information into web-link yourself, rather than asking applicants to complete it.
If you need any support with the RPA process, please contact the HEP Team on 01242 545 734.
Courses rollover 2017
On Monday 2 November, we will be rolling over course information from the 2016 intake to the 2017 intake in Course Collect.
In preparation, please make sure that, where appropriate, your 2015 intake courses are copied over to the 2016 intake, and that your course information is up-to-date in preparation for the rollover.
- Only programmes with courses set as running or suspended, and with a published status in 2016, will be rolled into the 2017 intake.
- Courses suspended for 2016 will be set to running for 2017 as part of the rollover process.
Please ensure you complete your rollover preparations by Friday 30 October.
During rollover activity, Course Collect will be unavailable. As a result, you will be unable to access or make any changes to your course information from 08:00 on Monday 2 November until 08:00 on Tuesday 10 November.
Once the rollover is complete, 2015 data will no longer be visible in Course Collect. However, we’ll still be able to fulfil any report requests on 2015 course data.
If you have any questions or you need support with this, please contact the Data Collection Team on 01242 544 864, or email coursecollect@ucas.ac.uk and we will be happy to help.
