Filling in your UCAS Application Form

UCAS application support for Nigerian students

As an official UCAS centre, SI-UK will provide you with free, independent advice on how to submit a high quality UCAS application. There are only five university choices available to students when filling in the application form, as well as over 50,000 courses at nearly 400 different providers, meaning it is vital you understand the UCAS application process fully and choose the right institutions to apply to. SI-UK will:

• Introduce schools and courses
• Help you decide on five UK universities and courses to apply to
• Create your UCAS application
• Review and edit your personal statement
• Add a reference to UCAS and send your application
• Fully track your application once in the UCAS database

UCAS Deadlines

There are many different UCAS application deadlines depending on what course and level you wish to study. Nigerian students can submit their application up to the 30th June.

UCAS Extra

If you received no offers from your five UCAS choices or changed your mind about which courses and institutions you wish to apply to, UCAS Extra allows you to add another choice to your application. UCAS Extra opens each February and lasts until July. If you still do not have an offer after the July deadline, you are eligible to enter UCAS Clearing.

UCAS Clearing

UCAS Clearing is for students who are unable to secure an offer from a UK university for three main reasons:

• They applied after the June 30th deadline
• Exam results fell short of conditional offer requirements
• No offers were received, or no offers were accepted
