Entries  \nWhen should we submit estimate entries?  \nThe window for estimated entries is normally from September to October. However, estimated entries should be submitted before the deadline, as this guarantees delivery of pre-release materials.  \nMore information can be found on our estimated entries page: [aqa.org.uk/exams](aqa.org.uk/exams)administration/entries/make-entries/early-entry-information  \nWhich subjects need estimated entries?  \nA list of subjects that require estimated entries can be found on our estimated entries page:  \n[aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/make-entries/early-entry-information](aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/make-entries/early-entry-information)  \n[Where/how do I submit estimated entries?](Where/how do I submit estimated entries?)  \nEstimated entries can be submitted using Centre Services. Find instructions on submitting estimated entries: [aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/make-entries/early-entry-information](aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/make-entries/early-entry-information)  \n[Can we enter a private candidate for a specific subject?](Can we enter a private candidate for a specific subject?)  \nCheck the entry codes book, as this contains each qualification and below each qualification it indicates whether the qualification is available to private candidates.  \nFind the entry codes book on our entries page: [aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/make-entries](aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/make-entries)  \n[Do we need separate approval to make entries for non-general qualifications](Do we need separate approval to make entries for non-general qualifications) ([non-GQs](non-GQs)) like Entry Level Certificates (ELC), Functional Skills, Applied Generals etc?  \nNo, if the centre is AQA approved then nothing else is required. The centre just needs to make sure they make the entries.  \nDeadlines for entries, late entries, amendments, very late entries and receiving a refund for withdrawing?  \nThis information is available on our entry fees page: [aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/entry-fees](aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/entry-fees)  \n[How to make an entry on Centre Services?](How to make an entry on Centre Services?)  \nInformation on making entries on Centre Services, including a video tutorial, can be found on our website: [aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/make-entries/make-entries-with-centre-services](aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/make-entries/make-entries-with-centre-services)  \n[Do I need to enter a Unique Learner Number](Do I need to enter a Unique Learner Number) ( ULN)?  \nOnly mandatory for internal candidates at state-funded centres.  \nWhere can I find a candidate’s previous Unique Candidate Identifier (UCI)?  \nIt will be listed on a previous statement of results or you may have to contact the centre they previously took their exams at.  \nSent an entry file via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)/A2C/Management Information System (MIS), but not sure if AQA has received it (no entries showing)?  \nIn the ‘entries, amendments and queries’ section, it will show as ‘processing in progress’, which means we have received the file, but it’s in the queue to be processed.  \nMade entries via Centre Services, can we amend via EDI/A2C/MIS?  \nNo, the same system must be used to make amendments. The same applies for if the initial entry was made on EDI/A2C/MIS, then the amendments must be made through this system.  \nWhen is the final date to amend a name on an entry without incurring a charge?  \nThe final date is two weeks before results day.  \nExams  \nWhere to download papers if they haven’t arrived, if a late entry was made or if they have a transferred candidate?  \nPapers are available on day of exam in the resources section on Centre Services.
