UCAS - Come and visit UCAS

Introduction to UCAS

What does the session cover?

The programme provides an easily digested overview of the application process and the parallel routes followed by the HEI and the applicant. The day also provides an opportunity for delegates to meet key UCAS staff.

The following topics are covered:

Overview of UCAS
Applicant and HEI UCAS journey
Fraud and verification - UCAS' role and advice to HEIs
Considering the application and making offers
Confirmation, Clearing and Adjustment
Benefits and responsibilities of UCAS membership
The role of the UCAS Correspondent
Tour of UCAS.

Who should attend?

The day has been designed with new members of staff in mind. It assumes no prior knowledge of UCAS processes, key dates or procedures.

Characterised by a lively and stimulating style of delivery, delegates will also benefit from the opportunity, not available to the general public, to see behind the scenes of our busy Cheltenham headquarters.

As these days are always popular, we ask that institutions send no more than two delegates per session.

What does the session offer?

The day begins with registration and coffee at 10:00 and closes at 15:00 and lunch is provided.
