WHAT DOES UNIVERSITIES CENTRAL COUNCIL ON ADMISSIONS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Universities Central Council on Admissions

UCCA, the Universities Central Council on Admissions, provided a clearing house for university applications in the United Kingdom from its formation in 1961 until its merger with PCAS to form UCAS in 1993. UCCA was created in response to concerns during the 1950s that the increase in University applications was unmanageable using the systems then in place, where each student applied individually to as many institutions as they chose. This concern led to the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals setting up an ad hoc committee in 1957 to review the matter; this committee in its Third Report of January 1961 recommended the setting up of a central agency, which subsequently became known as UCCA. Its First and Second Reports had already made a number of recommendations aimed at harmonising admissions procedures across different universities. The name UCCA referred originally to the management board overseeing the new process, but soon came to refer to the organisation responsible for its day-to-day operation. This was based initially in London, and moved to Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in 1968.
