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 have supplied you with your underlying data from EXACT (refreshed with the previous cycle data) as a one-off data supply. This year, we are planning to supply 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. Here’s what we plan on supplying, and when:
- Day 28 (2018 cycle) – supplied on 11 October 2018
- End of cycle (2018 cycle) – supplied mid-December 2018
- 15 January deadline (2019 cycle) – supplied late February 2019
- 30 June deadline (2019 cycle) – supplied early August 2019

If you would like to receive these data files, your UCAS primary correspondent must complete this request form, agree to the terms and conditions, and return the form to exact@ucas.ac.uk by 17:00 on Monday 8 October 2018.
You only need to opt in once to receive all four of the data supplies listed above. However, you can opt out of receiving any remaining data supplies at any point, by emailing the EXACT Team.
File details
- Files will be provided in CSV format, and will contain one record for each of your applications and acceptances.
