Getting started

As a UCAS registered centre, you’ll get access to our free online services which allow you to manage and track your students’ applications.

Your students can link their applications to your registered centre — so you can monitor, advise, and check their UCAS Undergraduate applications from the start, before adding references and submitting to us.

Resources for students

• We’re online to help – find out how at www.ucas.com – students can also interact with bloggers, and join discussions through our social media channels.
• Set up their UCAS Hub where they can search and explore courses, save and review options, and use the tariff calculator and personal statement builder tools all in one place.
• Students and their parents can sign up to receive tailored information from us, as soon as they start thinking about their options.

Resources for parents 

• Parent videos and online tools – covering finance, funding, applying, open days, and much more.

• It’s important that the UCAS correspondent keeps us up-to-date with the correct contact details for your centre.
