Exams Officers can use this article to Import Candidate UCIs (unique candidate identifier) from a downloadable template.
Every Candidate has one 13-character code that’s unique to them. It’s used to collect results for each Candidate across time and different exam boards, schools or colleges.
All students need a UCI. You need to make sure that you add a UCI to every Exam Entry you make.
Note: The Candidates must first be assigned to the required Exam Season before you can Import the Candidate UCIs. See How to Add Internal Candidates.
See: Examinations for other guidance.
Go to Modules>Examinations>Manage Candidates.
Note the Active Season on the top right, this can be changed from the Season drop down if required.
First select the Candidates you wish to Import UCIs for. You can use the filter cups in the column heading to filter the Candidates without an Exam Number or type the Candidate Name into the top right Search Names box.
