A Unique Candidate Identifier (UCI) is a reference that's unique to a candidate and lasts for the duration of their study career. It's used to aggregate unit results for modular exams. Without it, candidates may not be given their full results.

If a candidate transfers to your centre, you should try to obtain their UCI from their previous centre or from any results documentation they've been given. You'll need to create a UCI number for each new candidate who comes to your centre. This also applies to private candidates.

Candidate has more than one UCI number?

If a candidate has different UCI numbers across multiple sessions, they will need to be merged to ensure the original UCI is used at all times. Please advise a Customer Services Specialist by creating a case record which includes the below details:

  • Candidate number
  • Candidate name
  • Exam series
  • Qualification
  • Incorrect UCI number
  • Correct UCI number

If you have more than one request, please complete the UCI merge tab on this spreadsheet link and click on download to open in Excel.
