titleHow to Use this Workbook

This workbook The Workbook has a three separate tabs for UG, PGT, PGR and IPC programmes. Each tab works basically the same way, though some filter options may not be available in all tabs (e.g. "Clearing" is not applicable to PGR).

Please note that the University of York handles admissions for English language pre sessionals and therefore these figures show on the UG and PG tabs. 

By default, the workbook shows the most recent application data, as at the current point in the application cycle. For previous cycles, comparable data is shown at the equivalent date.

For example, on 8th October 2019, the most recent data for the 2020/21 cycle is the overnight position on 7th October 2019. The equivalent data for the 2019/20 and 2018/19 cycles is, respectively, the 7th October 2018 and 7th October 2017.

Using the Date Selection options you can:

  • Specify a different date in the application cycle to view data (for example, you can specify "03/10" if you wish to view current cycle data as at 3rd October 2019 (equivalent for previous cycles). Please note that when selecting a future date (for which data cannot be available) the workbook will instead show the latest data.
  • For previous cycles, choose to view the "End of Cycle" position rather than the equivalent position

    , IPC EL Pre-sessional Numbers, IPC EL Pre-Sessional Domiciles and IPC Intake Summary.

    As the IPC EL Pre-sessional Numbers and IPC EL Pre-Sessional Domiciles tabs work similarly they have been grouped together below.


    IPC EL Pre-sessional Tabs

    By default these tabs show the most recent snapshot date.

    The IPC EL Pre-Sessional Domiciles only displays a single measure (Applications, Conditional offers, Unconditional offers, Tap and Withdrawn) at a time due to displaying all domiciles of applicants relating to that measure. As such this tab contains a Choose Measure Filter that does not exist on the IPC EL Pre-sessional Numbers Tab.
