Do universities retain a copy of your application/data when applying through UCAS?
Hi,
If you apply through UCAS for a 2024 start date, do the universities you have applied to keep a record of your application/personal data in future years?
Furthermore, if they do retain a copy of your application/personal data, can you request to have it removed entirely so they have no copy of your personal information/qualification on file and you are effectively starting from scratch if you decide to reapply?

UCAS retains a copy of your data for 10-15 years and will match future applications to it when they’re sent to universities.
Each university will have their own retention policy for applicant data.
What exactly are you worried about?
