You must use the appropriate entry code irrespective of your method of entry.  \nBasedata (containing information on the specifications, units, options and components) will also be provided for each series for centres wishing to submit entries by EDI.  \nA separate entry, using the appropriate entry code, is required for every assessment (subject award, unit or option) for which a result is to be reported.  \nBefore making an entry for a particular subject, you should refer to:  \n• the specification for the subject  \n• any changes to examination provision detailed in the appropriate specification  \n• any restrictions on entry detailed in Section 2 of this document.  \nPlease see the Exams administration | Entries | Entries for exams officers page of our website [aqa.org.uk](aqa.org.uk for)[ for](aqa.org.uk for) full details on basedata and submitting entries.  \n2 Restrictions on entry in 2025/26  \nUnique Learner Numbers (ULNs)  \nFrom January 2014, all students entered for an exam at a state funded school/college in England need a ULN. The ULN is a 10-digit number used to access the Personal Learning Record (PLR) of anyone over the age of 14 involved in education or training. The PLR is an online, lifelong record of individuals' achievements which they can share with other parties (for example employers, colleges, universities) .  \nBefore entering students, you need to get valid ULNs for them that match the details held in the Learning Records Service (LRS) . We can't access LRS to amend errors so if there are mismatches, we will return the invalid data to you, via Centre Services , for you to resolve with LRS.  \nWhere the ULN is mandatory we will not process entries if the ULN is not present. However, if the supplied ULN returns as a mismatch from LRS we will report this. We will still issue student results as normal but will be unable to upload these to the PLR.  \nULNs will not replace UCI numbers (Unique Candidate Identifier) , so please ensure you include them in your entries submissions.  \nDiscount (classification) codes  \nDiscounting guidance can be found on the Department ","cbCaimgInBJj00of","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimgInBJj00of","pdf",1783994,1,101,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## General information\n## Restrictions on entry in 2025/26\n## Changes to exams\n## Explanatory notes on the entry code tables\n## Entry code tables\n## Index to entry codes","[{\"question\":\"What does the document cover for the 2025/26 academic year?\",\"answer\":\"It lists the unit and subject award entry codes for all exam series available in 2025/26.
