Subject: Re: UCAS Advice
Does the note from UCAS say anything about the data having to be passed
on to HESA? At the first two JISC workshops this issue was discussed
and it was felt that on UCAS's blurb to applicants this should be made
clear. It would appear from your first paragraph below that this isn't
the case. Is that right?
Best wishes,
Adrian
