UCAS "Extra" Session

A student asked if they could change one of their schools that they identified in their UCAS application. The answer is, "no." Not unless they have received no offers or rejected all of their offers.

Currently, we are in the middle of a time period that the UK system calls, "Extra." If you have NOT received ANY offers or rejected ALL of your offers, you MAY be eligible to use the UCAS online system to apply to other courses of study. Here's what UCAS says:

How to use Extra

Step 3: Offers

What is Extra?

If you have applied through UCAS, used all five choices on your application and aren't holding any offers, you might be able to apply through Extra for another course. Extra lets you apply for courses with vacancies between the end of February and the end of June. In Extra, you apply for one course at a time using Track.

Am I eligible?

To use Extra you need to have:

  • already made five choices
  • received decisions from all these choices, and
  • either had no offers or declined all the offers you have received.
