Reminder: ODBC-link decommissioning

As the start of the 2024 cycle approaches, we would like to remind you that we are decommissioning our ODBC-link service in December 2023.

Posted Tue 11 April 2023

This means that applications for the 2024 admissions cycle will only be available via the XML-link service. If your student record system uses ODBC-link to manage applications from UCAS it will need to be updated to use XML-link before you start to import 2024 applications.

To support with this migration there is more information on what this might mean for you and how we will support you in your next steps on UCAS.com including:

  • more details on what ODBC-Link is and how it is used by HEPs
  • a timeline for decommission
  • next steps guide
  • online training module
  • technical webinar playback.
