Disability
Applicants are asked to declare disability on the UCAS application form. Provision of this information is voluntary and applicants are advised that they may choose only to inform the institutions to which they apply directly. Disability data are available only for home applicants.
For 2003 entry the Dyslexia category has been extended to other specific learning difficulties (including Dyslexia); the Personal care support category has been abolished; and a further, Autistic disorder, category has been introduced. Comparisons with latter years and early years should therefore be treated with caution

Analysis
Many of our customers have told us that they haven't the time, or maybe the expertise, to exploit the data available from UCAS to its full potential. Did you know that we could do that for you? Many universities and colleges are now using our new range of statistical and analytical services, which support our data provision with consultation, analysis, reports, presentations and training. More information is available here or contact stats@ucas.ac.uk tel: 01242 544896. Please quote AW9.
