Entering data
For UCAS Undergraduate and UCAS Conservatoires courses, there's a restriction of one start date per month and there's a maximum of two cycles of data in Course Collect (this might increase in the future).
We're using these course levels in Course Collect:
- Undergraduate degree
- Postgraduate
- HE level 2 (HNDs, DipHEs and foundation degrees)
- HE level 1 (HNCs and CertHE)
- HE Level 0 (foundation year)
- Other
Initially, campus codes will be restricted to the existing single character code as they're used in the application process. We've got plans to introduce a new five-character code to replace this when our other systems have been updated.
The approval process
We'll continue to support you, but we've transferred more responsibility to you.
- The main changes we need to approve are the addition of all new programmes and courses (or major changes like titles or descriptions).
- You can set up internal approval processes for other information – this replaces the old Entry Profiles process.
- Automatic business rules significantly reduce the amount of invalid data that can be added to the system.
- The provision of selected management information reports is expected to improve institutions' own internal quality assurance processes.
Aside from the reports available, we monitor how complete your data is and let you know about any important sections that aren't present.
