Pre-approved reply to swaps process – from 6 February

The pre-approved reply to swaps process will run from 6 February, until the final date for amended decisions, 21 July.

Posted Tue 7 February 2023

We encouraged all providers to respond, and for those who didn’t opt in, the reasons received will help us shape the process in future cycles.

To date we’ve had 132 providers opt in to use the process, saving time for applicants and providers as with their agreement, UCAS can action reply swaps based on the pre-approved list.

Those who have opted in can opt out or amend the list of approved courses at any time by contacting our Customer Success Team.

If you haven’t already opted in, or fed back your reasons for not doing so, you can still complete the form.

Please be mindful when advising applicants:

  • we may still require permission from other providers that have not opted in, or excluded the relevant course – changes will only be made once all permissions required are received
  • There are also specific scenarios where individual provider permissions may be required, or limits on actions that applicants can request, such as the removal of replies or change requests once Confirmation decisions have been processed.
