However, in response to customer feedback, we have now changed what the publication and application statuses in the collection tool do.
Publication status: This now controls whether a course is listed in our search and explore tools.
- If you set a course as ‘Published’ it will be visible in the search and explore tools.
- If you set a course as ‘Not published’ it will not be visible in the search and explore tools.
Using this flag has no other implications in UCAS products or systems.
Application status: This now controls whether an application can be made to the course in Apply.
- If you set a course as ‘Open’ it will display in Apply, and applicants can select it if it has vacancies.
- If you set a course as ‘Closed’ it will not display in Apply.
