UCAS Business Rules and Principles

During this critical part of the cycle for all our applicants, we wanted to remind you that, as always, UCAS's Customer Success team is available to support you on cst@ucas.ac.uk.

Posted Wed 1 March 2023

We would like to remind you of business Rule 9: Customers must not ask applicants to reply to offers before the normal reply date, regardless of when the offer was made, unless the course starts before 1 September. Requesting early replies in return for benefits (e.g., priority access to accommodation) is not permitted.

This Business Rule 9 requires that you must not place undue pressure on applicants to reply to offers before 8 June 2023, to ensure that applicants have time to make informed decisions.

If you have any questions about our Business Rules and Principles and how to implement them, please don't hesitate to contact us so we can help you immediately.
