Update on Supporting Professionalism in Admissions (SPA) good practice

Last year, as part of UCAS’ annual review of plans and budget, the decision was taken to withdraw UCAS funding from the Supporting Professionalism in Admissions (SPA) programme.

Posted Wed 21 March 2018

Since then, former colleagues from SPA have been working with a number of universities to explore alternative arrangements. These discussions are ongoing, and any questions about progress should be addressed to Dan Shaffer, at dan@fairadmissions.org.

We are committed to continuing to host SPA good practice for the HE admissions community, and where there is demand, to commission a number of pieces of new or updated good practice. As a result of changes being made to the collection of information from applicants about criminal convictions for the 2019 admissions cycle, we will now be commissioning an update to the good practice in this area.

If you have any questions, please contact Ben Jordan at b.jordan@ucas.ac.uk.
