If your son or daughter is in Year 12, S5 or equivalent then they are entitled to join the UCAS Card. Its purpose is to help smooth the transition into higher education by providing information about all aspects of applying to university or college, student life and even their future careers. They will also benefit from discounts on top brands such as Topshop, Topman, JJB Sports, Orange and Play.com.


Students will benefit from instant access to the UCAS Card website, complete with a wealth of information, including advice on the UCAS application process, learning and study guides, financial advice, careers, student profiles and an institution guide.

UCAS Card holders will receive information from universities and colleges reflecting their subject interests and a year's subscription to You Can magazine.

Your son or daughter will also benefit from monthly email bulletins which will help them stay on track throughout the UCAS application process.

Students can register for their free UCAS Card at www.ucas.com/ucascard. They will need their unique ID number, which they can obtain from their school or college UCAS adviser.
