The closing date for the receipt of entries and the date of publication of results for particular examinations determine each series.  \nA copy of the Exam series guide 2026/27 is available from the Exams administration | Entries page of our website  \n[aqa.org.uk](aqa.org.uk)  \nEntry codes  \nSection 5 contains all the entry codes for all the exams (subject awards, options, units and components) that are available in any given series. 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 2026/27  \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 for Education (DfE) websites  \n• Discounting guidance","cbCaipWpSXrJQf6q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipWpSXrJQf6q","pdf",1598828,94,"English","# Contents\n## 1 General information\n## 2 Restrictions on entry in 2026/27\n## 3 Changes to exams\n## 4 Explanatory notes on the entry code tables\n## 5 Entry code tables\n## 6 Index to entry codes","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the entry codes 2026/27 document?\",\"answer\":\"It lists the unit and subject award entry codes for the 2026/27 academic year and explains how to use those codes when submitting exam entries.\"},{\"question\":\"What are ULNs and when are they required for exam entries?\",\"answer\":\"ULNs are 10-digit numbers used to access the Personal Learning Record for learners aged 14 and over.
