UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) processes applications for full time undergraduate Higher Education courses at universities and colleges in the UK.

If you have not applied to UCAS, you apply online using the Apply service.

This service will give the exact position of your application, including any decisions from universities or colleges. To use Track, you will need to enter your username and password (listed on your UCAS Welcome letter). If you need a new password, enter Track, go to the login page, select the Help option and follow the onscreen instructions.
