As our business rules state, two applications for the same year of entry cannot be active. We will cancel the new application and inform the applicant, requiring action from the deferred provider, the applicant, and UCAS.
Until 25 January ECD, 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.
We will keep this process in place up to and including the 25 January 2023 ECD. From 26 January 2023, we will revert to the process by which an applicant will contact the deferred provider to request a complete withdrawal before we will process the new application.
If you have any questions or concerns related to this process, please feel free to contact the Customer Success Team.
