Option codes

Please carefully check all subjects with option codes in the information manual to ensure you are entering the correct one. 
Option code 'T' is used when transferring coursework over from a previous series.

Cash in codes

For legacy, modular specifications only, you will need to add a cash-in code. This code ties all the units together in order to produce an overall result. Without a cash-in code, a result or certificate CANNOT be given, however only enter a cash-in code once all units have been entered. 
Late Cash In codes may incur a small charge if entered after the entry deadline.

Cash in rules

  • Only enter a cash-in code once the correct number of units have been entered to be eligible for the overall award. Entering a cash-in code without the correct number of units will cause the candidate to be ineligible.
  • Do NOT enter the full A level cash-in code if the AS units have not been completed.
  • Do NOT enter a cash-in code with no relevant units.
  • If a candidate is resitting a unit, you must enter the relevant cash in code providing all units have been completed all together.

UCI numbers

Please ensure that your candidates are entered with the original UCI number if they have been entered in a previous exam session.

Re-sit rules

There are different re-sit rules for different qualifications, please see below:

International GCSE/GCSE/A level (linear) - the candidate will need to resit all components within the single entry code. If there is coursework involved, this can be carried over. In this case, enter with the option code 'T' which means transferred from previous session.

A Level (modular) - the best unit grade from the last 2 sittings will count towards the overall grade. The same UCI Number must be entered in order for this to work. Only cash in once all relevant units have been completed across all sessions.
