What is UCAS Extra?

UCAS Extra is a free service that allows you to continue applying for higher education courses if you have no offers from your five choices, or if you’ve declined the offers you received.

While we welcome applications through UCAS Extra, we will only be able to make offers if places are still available.

UCAS Extra opens on Wednesday 26 February 2025 and closes on Friday 4 July 2025

Can I apply through UCAS Extra?

Log in to UCAS and you’ll be notified if you’re eligible for an Extra choice in the Choices section. You'll be able to see an “Add Extra Choice” button if you’re eligible for UCAS extra.

You are eligible to apply through UCAS Extra if you have:

  • used all five choices on UCAS and find yourself without an offer
  • changed your mind and declined your offers or withdrawn your choice.

If you apply after Sunday 30 June 2025

New applications made after 30 June will automatically be considered through Clearing. Clearing is the process that helps students who haven’t secured a university place to find and apply for a course. Clearing for 2025 entry opens on Saturday 5 July 2025.

If you haven’t yet applied for university through UCAS, you won’t need to make an Extra choice. Instead, you can apply through the usual UCAS process – our step-by-step guide on submitting a UCAS application will help you get started.

If you receive an offer through UCAS Extra

You’ll need to accept your offer on UCAS.
