What is UCAS Extra?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve applied and received decisions from five universities and either you weren’t offered a place or you declined all of your offers, you can still apply to one further university using UCAS Extra.<\/p>\n

Please note: You’ll only be able to apply to one course at a time, meaning you’ll not be able to have an insurance choice.<\/p>\n

When does Extra open?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

From Saturday 25 February 2018\u00a0<\/strong>you\u2019ll be able to apply through\u00a0UCAS<\/a> (subject to your course of interest).\u00a0 Please check our\u00a0website<\/a> to find out which courses are open for Extra.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

When does Extra close?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The deadline for Extra applications is Wednesday 4 July 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

What should I do if the course I would like to study is not in Extra?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You may still be able to apply for a place this September through Clearing<\/a> in July and August. Please note, this may not include all courses. Keep an eye on our website for further details.<\/p>\n

Do I have to pay to apply through Extra?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Providing you are eligible for Extra, i.e. you\u2019ve already used all five choices, you would have paid all you needed to when you originally submitted your application.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m applying for a different course, can I change my personal statement?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although you can\u2019t change the original personal statement on your UCAS application, you can send a revised statement directly to BU to consider in support of your new course choice. Please email it to futurestudents@bournemouth.ac.uk<\/a> with your UCAS ID number and full name.<\/p>\n

How do I add an Extra choice in Track?<\/h3>\n

Here is a really useful step by step guide from UCAS to help you add your Extra choices.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n
