28 February: UCAS Extra opens

If you've not received any university offers for your five choices, you can add another choice using UCAS Extra. It gives you another chance to gain a place at university or college.

If you don't get the offer of a place through Extra, you still have another chance with Clearing.

UCAS Extra runs from 28 February to 5 July. Find out more about UCAS Extra.
