UCAS Extra - late applications

There's still time

If you miss the January UCAS deadline for applying, don't worry, there's still time. Likewise, if you have applied and hold no offers, there will be another opportunity to apply to Leeds Beckett through UCAS Extra.

Late applications

We still accept applications for many courses after January.

If you have used all 5 choices, then you can still apply through UCAS Extra.

If you have received decisions from all five original choices and weren’t accepted, or if you declined the offers you received, you will be able to use Extra.

If you apply through UCAS Extra for a course in a different subject area to your original 5 choices, then you are welcome to email a new personal statement to us directly. Please include your UCAS Personal ID number for our reference and we can then match your statement with your application when it received. 

If you did not use all your choices in your initial application, you don't need to use Extra, you can just sign in to your application and add another choice, as long as it’s before 30 June, and you’ve not accepted or declined any offers. If you don’t hold any offers after 5 July, you will be able to add an additional choice using Clearing.

Extra is available from 26 February to 4 July. Any new application created after 30 June or Extra choice added after 4 July will be automatically entered into Clearing.

Not all courses are available in Extra so we recommend that you contact our Admissions team to check whether we are still able to consider your application before you apply.

Remember, if you are applying for part-time study you will need to apply directly to the university and not through UCAS.

Flick through the slides below to find out useful facts about UCAS extra:

  1. What is UCAS Extra?

    UCAS Extra is available to applicants who have already applied through UCAS and have used all five choices and are not holding any offers. Extra enables you to make an additional choice.

    Tip: If Extra is available to you, it'll show up as a button when you log in to your UCAS Hub.

     
  2. When does UCAS Extra run?

    UCAS Extra runs between 26 February and 4 July. Any new application created after 30 June or Extra choice added after 4 July will be automatically entered into Clearing.

  3. How do I search for a course?

    Search for courses with places available in Extra. Not all courses will be open in UCAS Extra as some may already be full.

    Tip: Opt in to UCAS Media mailings to get emails from universities and colleges with vacancies.

  4. Check with your university

    Contact the university to check they are able to consider you before you apply.

    Tip: If the exact course you want isn’t available, think about related subjects that might interest you.

  5. How many courses can I apply for?

    You can only apply for one course at a time. There are no insurance choices in Extra so if you receive an offer through Extra you must either accept it as your firm choice or decline it. If you decline the offer you’ll be able to add another Extra choice providing there’s still time and availability.

  6. Can I change my mind?

    If you change your mind and wish to decline an offer or you don't get a decision from the university within 21 days, you can add a different choice.

    Tip: It might take universities and colleges longer than 21 days to reply – universities and colleges have until mid-July to make their final decisions – it's up to you whether to wait or replace them with a different Extra choice.

  7. What happens next?

    If you're offered the place you want, you just need to accept it in your UCAS Hub account. You'll then be committed to that course, so you can't apply to any more in Extra.

    Tip: Make sure you reply by the date shown in your UCAS Hub. If you do not do this your offer will automatically be declined.
