January 2025 ECD consultation

In response to the pandemic, 2021 saw the movement of the previous January 15 deadline to the final Wednesday of January.

Posted Wed 25 October 2023

In tandem with this, reject by default (RBD) and decline by default (DBD) deadlines were also consolidated and moved. 

A focused consultation is proposed to test with the sector whether the post-Covid dates and deadlines are still fit for purpose or need to be revised, with outcomes being implemented for the 2025 entry cycle.  

The consultation document will be released on UCAS.com on Monday 30 October, with responses invited by Friday 24 November. 

We are keen to gather as many responses as possible, so please share this update within your networks and discuss widely.
