UCAS Extra Open

Lisa Hughes
Dear Y13 Students,
UCAS Extra has opened today, Wednesday 26th February. This is a very important opportunity for you to carefully consider alternative options if you have already applied to UCAS and either:
  1. You are currently holding no offers and would like to apply for other courses
  2. You have an offer / some offers, but you do not want to accept it
  3. You have changed your mind about what you want to study at University
HOWEVER, it is very important that you speak with a member of the Sixth Form team before making the decision to reject a current offer, as this is a very risky option. 
Please read the summary of information below on how UCAS Extra works and click on the link to read more information. If you would still like to consider using Extra, please speak with either myself, Mr O’Flynn, Mr Brown or Mrs V. Wagstaff about your decision before taking any action.
 
What is Extra?
Extra is a service for students who have no offers or who rejected all offers and want to apply to universities or colleges.
 
Eligibility
Only available to applicants who have used all five choices on their UCAS application.
Requires no offers or the rejection of all offers.
 
How it works
Extra allows applicants to apply for one course at a time until they receive an offer or a decision.
The service is available from 26th February to 4th July.
 
Key Points
Applicants can only apply for one course at a time through Extra.
The application process is similar to the main UCAS application.
Applicants can accept an offer or continue searching for other options.
I have also posted this information on Class Charts and a reminder will go in the bulletin on Friday.
Kind regards
Mrs Hughes
