If you included five choices on your application, have received decisions from all five, and weren’t accepted, or if you declined the offers you received, you will be able to use Extra.

If you did not use all your choices in your initial application, you don’t need to use Extra, you can just sign in to your application and add another choice, as long as it’s before 30 June, and you’ve not accepted or declined any offers. Remember, if you originally only applied to one choice and want to add more, you’ll be asked to pay the extra £4.50 application fee.

If you don’t hold any offers after 5 July, you will be able to add an additional choice using Clearing.
