This will enable us to fully decommission the old Data Collection System, which is now only being used by a limited number of providers for the collection of open days.
We’ll be contacting current Data Collection System users, and ucas.com admins (who currently manage access to the secure pages on the website) shortly, to explain the new process in more detail. The ucas.com admins will see some layout changes to their admin screen, and have a new option to add users who can edit and manage open day content for their provider.
The changes are being made so that any provider user who already has an account can sign in using the UCAS single sign on system, to update their open days. This content will now appear on ucas.com within 15 – 20 minutes (currently open days are updated once a week). We hope this will help us better market providers’ open days to learners.
