What are entries?

Entries allow us to personalise key documents with candidates’ details, allocate moderators to centres and exam scripts to examiners, send you question papers and supply candidates with results so they’re a key part of the assessment cycle.

When do entries need to be made?

All the key dates and deadlines are provided in the key dates section. 

For Cambridge Nationals, entries must be made by the relevant deadlines.

It’s important we get your entries on time but if you’re having unexpected problems, please get in touch and we’ll look at what support we can provide.

Entry rules

When making your entries (and any resit entries), it’s essential you plan carefully, taking the entry and certification rules into consideration.

A terminal rule applies to the examined unit for all current Cambridge Nationals qualifications. You can read more on the entry rules page.

Entry codes

The entry codes booklet for Cambridge Nationals contains all the codes and rules of combination together with assessment availability for each series.

Entry fees and invoices

All our entry fees are provided in the fees list. Please check this document carefully to ensure you don’t incur late entry fees.

Invoices will be sent (normally via email) to your accounts contact once you have made your entries.

To query an invoice, please forward a copy of the invoice and supporting documentation to creditcontrol@ocr.org.uk, quoting your centre number and invoice number.

Making entries for unitised qualifications

To claim the full qualification, you need to make an entry for each unit first, followed by certification entries once the candidate is eligible for certification. Not all units are available in each series; details of available series are shown alongside the unit details in the entry codes booklet. Units remain available for certification for the life of the qualification.
