APPLICATION TRACKER 2011
Are you getting the most from your application data?
Sensible financial planning, understanding how you compare to competitors and knowing who is attracted to your institution are just a few of the areas where familiarity with your application trends is vital. But getting to grips with the data can be a time-consuming process. This is where Application Tracker can help. An online service available only from UCAS, Application Tracker helps you to analyse data in the depth you need, at the time you need it.
As part of our commitment for offering good value for money we recognise that times are difficult economically, so the price of Application Tracker has been reduced by £500 and all UCAS member institutions can now access level 1 of Application Tracker free of charge. Application Tracker is accessed through the HE staff section of ucas.com. Three levels of access are provided so you can be sure you are only paying for options relevant to your needs. According to your level of access, you can use the service to track your institution's applications, analyse trends down to course code level, determine your position in the market place, custom build your own faculty datasets, create geographic and demographic profiles of your applicants, and use the data for resource and financial planning activities. Data is updated weekly, allowing you to make timely decisions in response to new developments.
