Additional statistical data

At the end of the cycle, you can request further statistical data (StarX), for each applicant referred to your provider in the previous cycle.

It will not contain data for any cancelled or completely withdrawn applications, and is only available through the link products. Details of what’s included is available on the Availability of UCAS data page.
