We have been experiencing problems with this one too. We believe, however, that you can have two different UCAS codes against the same course, and this is what we have been trying to achieve in sending additions and corrections to our existing data at the SLC - we have yet to learn whether they have been accepted and applied by SLC to their database. It is very worrying if SLC are deleting courses which HEIs have supplied to them. It appears that SLC have altered some of our codes without telling us (making life difficult when our Offices need to contact LEAs), but deletion is quite a different matter.
