Provision of provider statistics to HEFCE and UUK

You may have recently received a letter from HEFCE and/or UUK which details their requirements for reporting during Confirmation and Clearing this year.

Posted Wed 27 July 2016

As in previous cycles, we’ll supply these statistics to HEFCE and UUK on your behalf, if you’re happy for us to do so. HEFCE and UUK have each given us a list of providers who they view as having agreed to this. 

The statistics cover UK and EU-domiciled accepted applicants due to start in both the 2016–17 and 2017–18 entry years, and whether those acceptances are 'immediate' or 'deferred' from the preceding cycle. They also report by some approximations to categories of student that either are (such as some nursing courses), or have been (such as the ABB+ categories), relevant to HEFCE’s funding.

We’ll provide statistics about your provider – including those numbers provided to HEFCE and UUK on your behalf – as one of the provider-level Clearing statistical reports over MOVEit (the secure file transfer service) to which your UCAS Primary Correspondent has access. As these statistics can contain sensitive information about a provider’s recruitment, they will only be given to UCAS Primary Correspondents to share with appropriate colleagues. We’ll provide more details on these statistics, and how to access them, in August.

If you do not want us to provide the data on your behalf, please email arc@ucas.ac.uk to let us know. We will act on your instructions at any time. If you let us know by Monday 15 August, this will be implemented in time for the first reference point of Thursday 18 August 2016.

If you have any queries about these statistics, or whether you are recorded as being within the HEFCE or UUK arrangements, please contact us at arc@ucas.ac.uk
