    What is Extra?

    The Extra process is a way of applying to further universities or colleges. If you have already made six choices, received decisions from all these choices and you have declined any offers you may have received, you can use the Extra process to apply for other courses that still have vacancies. You can only apply for one course at a time in Extra.

    The Extra process operates from mid March to the end of June. Course Search will tell you which courses have vacancies in Extra. You should also confirm with universities and colleges that they can consider you before you apply. You do not have to wait until Clearing to apply for other courses. You apply for courses in Extra using Track on our website.

    Who is eligible?

    You will be eligible for Extra if:

    you have used all six of your choices; and

    you have had unsuccessful or withdrawal decisions for all your choices; or

    you have cancelled your outstanding choices and hold no offers; or

    you have received decisions from all six choices and have declined all offers made to you.''
