Adding LEAPS to your UCAS application

UCAS has introduced some new sections to the UCAS application so that you can more easily share details about your widening participation activities and circumstances. This is so that the universities you apply to can take this into consideration when they are looking at your UCAS application.

Please make sure you include the fact that you are LEAPS eligible on your UCAS application after you have had your LEAPS eligibility confirmed by LEAPS. 

Your LEAPS eligibility is usually confirmed during your LEAPS Pre-UCAS Interview. These interviews usually take place between August and November. The deadline for confirming LEAPS eligibility falls around the end of November each year. The date is communicated to schools in advance. Find out more about the process and deadline for confirming LEAPS eligibility in our FAQ section If you are unsure if you have been confirmed as LEAPS eligible, please email us at leaps@ed.ac.uk.

Please follow our how-to guides below (where relevant to you), which explain how you should complete these new sections.
