Private candidates report

We’re pleased to launch our good practice considerations for the assessment of private candidates.

Posted Wed 15 July 2020

Since the cancellation of summer examinations, a number of specific challenges related to private candidates have arisen. These good practice considerations aim to help providers in assessing these students.

The document covers:

  • Who are private candidates?
  • How do universities and colleges currently support them?
  • How to identify private candidates?
  • Considerations in relation to private candidates in 2020

We hope this document is of use to you and your teams. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact Ben Jordan, Head of Strategy and Public Affairs (Interim), at b.jordan@ucas.ac.uk.
