How do you find your UCAS number?

If you are applying to University in the UK you will need to apply through a service called UCAS. Your UCAS number is what is used to identify you from other students. Your UCAS number is a 10-digit identifier that you will need and while it’s often called a UCAS number, you may also see it referred to as a UCAS ID, both terms mean the same thing.

In this article, we will tell you exactly how to find your UCAS number.

Where to Find Your UCAS Number

Once you create an account and start your application on the UCAS website, your UCAS number will appear on your application page. However, there are other places in which you can find your UCAS number including:

• Emails from UCAS.
• School or college records.
• Conditional or unconditional offer letters.

If you are looking for your UCAS number you can start with one or all of those places, you will find your 10-digit code there, but if you have lost your UCAS number or can’t find it, don’t panic.

What to Do if You Lose Your UCAS Number

If you’ve lost your UCAS number, there’s no need to panic, as there are several straightforward ways to retrieve it.

First, try logging into your UCAS account, where your application page prominently displays your UCAS number.

If you can’t access it there, search your email inbox for messages from UCAS, as these often include your number in the correspondence. If these methods don’t work, you can contact UCAS support directly for assistance.

UCAS support has processes in place to help you recover your number, though you’ll need to verify your identity to ensure the security of your application details.

UCAS status codes

UCAS status codes, UCAS numbers and UCAS points are different things completely and we have written a full article on UCAS status codes so don’t get them mixed up.

Essentially, status codes are 4- or 16-digit numbers issued after you receive an unconditional offer. They confirm your student status, allowing you to set up a student bank account or apply for financial aid.

Like your UCAS number, status codes are available on your UCAS hub and in related emails.
