Withdrawal of deferred entry applications

We are often contacted by applicants who want to remove their deferred application.

Posted Wed 5 October 2022

As our business rules state that two applications for the same year of entry cannot be active. When this happens, we cancel the new application and inform the applicant, this requires action from the deferred provider, the applicant, and UCAS.

We first introduced this process during the January ECD and following consultation with the Provider Advisory Group in March this year, we’re repeating the process to run from 10-15 October.

By request from an applicant, UCAS will withdraw the deferred application, to allow their new application to be progressed. As a provider impacted by this process, you would be notified of this complete withdrawal through the link services, as per standard practice.

If you have any questions or concerns related to this process, please feel free to contact the Customer Success Team.
