Forms being sent by school on the 14 October.  \n12 November: School deadline for UCAS forms.  \n2026  \n14 January: Deadline for application to all courses except those listed for the 16 October.  \n26 February: Extra opens.  \n6 May Acceptance deadline if all decisions are received by 31 March 2026  \n3 June Acceptance deadline if all decisions are received by 13 May 2026  \n4 July: Final date to apply in Extra for 2024. After this date, all applications must be made through clearing. Last date for receipt of applications at UCAS. All applications received later i.e., (18 .00 UK time) are automatically entered into clearing.  \n5 July Clearing open  \n13 August: GCE A Level Advanced Diploma and Pre-U results are published, and full Clearing information service starts.  \nAll UK University places are allocated through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) . The following flowchart provides an overview of the process. At Methodist College, students will have been guided through the online UCAS application from early June 2024.  \nHow to apply  \nApplications are made online using our secure  \nweb-based application system Apply. Its on-screen help guides users through the application.  \nBecause it is online students can use Apply anywhere that has internet access. They can rework and resave details in their application as often as necessary, before submitting the final version to their teacher, adviser, referee or UCAS, as appropriate.  \nStudents complete up to seven sections (one is for UK applicants only) in their application  \n• Personal details  \n• Additional information (UK applicants only)  \n• Student finance  \n• Choices  \n• Education  \n• Statement  \n• Employment  \nAs their application progresses to completion, they can seethe status of each section.  \n• Not started  \n• In progress …  \n• Completed  \n√  \nApplicants who apply through a UCAS-registered centre, such as a school, college or careers centre, need the buzzword for their centre.  \nNumber of choices allowed  \nEach student can make a maximum of five choices on their application, including:  \n• No more than four choices in any one of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or veterinary science  \n• No more than one course at either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge.  \nIt’s not compulsory to use all five choices. If they apply to fewer than five choices to begin with, they can add more later, as long as they have not replied to their offers. They should, however, remember to check the application deadline for the course.  \nInvisibility of choices  \nWe send the application on to each of the chosen universities and colleges at the same time. Each university or college has access to the information about their choice only. They must not ask applicants to reveal their other choices.  \nOnly much later in the application cycle, when an applicant has received decisions on all their choices and replied to any offers, will each university or college be able to see details of the other choices. This ensures that each university or college decides independently whether to offer a place and what conditions, if any, to attach to an offer.  \nDisabilities, special needs and medical conditions  \nUniversities and colleges welcome applications from people with disabilities, special needs or medical conditions, and try to provide as much support as possible.  \nIt’s a good ","cbCaivrpufgISSRA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivrpufgISSRA","pdf",1375602,28,"English","# Application procedures overview\n## Key UCAS dates for 2025/26\n## How to apply online (Apply)\n## Number and visibility of choices\n## Support for disabilities, special needs and medical conditions\n## Care leavers and looked after children\n## What happens after UCAS receives an application","[{\"question\":\"How are higher education applications submitted in this booklet?\",\"answer\":\"Applications are made online using the secure web-based UCAS system called Apply.
