If you’ve applied for university in 2022 and have used all five of your original UCAS choices, UCAS Extra gives you another chance to gain a place.
If you included five choices on your application and have received decisions from all five but weren’t accepted or you declined your offers because you’ve changed your mind, you will be able to use Extra.
UCAS stands for Universities and Colleges Admissions Service – it is the service which processes university applications and provides the information you need to secure a final place of study.

UCAS Extra is a free service which gives you another chance to gain a place at university or college, between 25 February and 4 July 2022. If you used all five of your choices on your original application and you’re not holding an offer, you’ll be able to add another choice using Extra.
This could be because you haven’t received any offers or because you have declined offers for one reason or another – for example you have changed your mind about what subject you want to study.
Not all university courses will be available in Extra, just the ones with vacancies. You can filter your search on UCAS to see which universities are considering applications in Extra.
Check if you’re on the list ☑️
If you haven’t used all five choices, you don’t need to use Extra. Just sign into your application and add another choice before 30 June, without accepting or declining any offers.#UCASExtra pic.twitter.com/Yh9CG22HIc

Here’s how to add another course to your choices through UCAS Extra in three simple steps:
- Search for courses with vacancies using the UCAS search tool.
- Get in touch with the university or college to check they are able to consider you.
- Add the details in Track – you can only add one course at a time.
You can choose whether or not to accept a place on a course through UCAS Extra – once you have accepted you are committed to it and cannot apply elsewhere. If you are unsuccessful or decline the offer, you can then choose another course to apply to if you’re within the deadline.
