If a PS is identified by the UCAS 'Copycatch' plagiarism software, a report goes to that applicant's Universities with a % plagiarism score. Its up to those Unis what they do next. Applicants will also be informed about this score. 'UCAS Track' is the old name for UCAS Hub - ie. the front end of UCAS that applicants see.
