We can provide you with all your underlying data as a computer readable data file, under an internal-use EXACT licence, free of charge.
In previous years, we’ve supplied you with your underlying data from EXACT (refreshed with the previous cycle data) as a one-off data supply. This year, we’re supplying multiple data files throughout the year, so you can access more up-to-date information about your position, enabling you to replicate analysis you could commission through EXACT.
The next supply will be the end of cycle (2018) data files, which will be provided on 18 December 2018.
What you need to do
If you opted in to receive the day 28 data files back in October, you’ll be automatically opted in for the end of cycle data supply, and do not need to take any action.
If you did not opt in to receive the day 28 data files, but would like to receive the end of cycle 2018 data, your UCAS Primary Correspondent needs to complete this request form, agree to the terms and conditions, and return the form to exact@ucas.ac.uk by 17:00 on Friday 14 December 2018.
File details
- Files will be provided in CSV format, and will contain one record for each of your applications and acceptances.
- Files contain up to 99 fields, including applicant ID, each following the analytical EXACT definitions. A file listing these definitions will also be provided with the data.
After you’ve returned your signed request form, you can access the end of cycle 2018 data files through MOVEit, the secure file transfer service, from 17:00 on Tuesday 18 December 2018, until 17:00 on Thursday 31 January 2019.
