The UCAS Board meets four times a year, normally in March, June, September and December. The Board comprises at least 14 members and not more than 22. Five members are appointed by Universities UK (UUK), two by GuildHE Limited, and one by the Association of Colleges. Eight members are appointed to represent institutions within our scheme. The Board also co-opts members for their interest in student affairs at pre-higher education stage, and separately, to provide expertise in business and financial issues.
