Entries must be made by the deadline as late entries cannot be accepted.
If the registration deadline falls on a public or national holiday, please be aware there is no extension to the registration period.
For summer 2024, the entry window opens on 1 March 2024 and closes on 4 May 2024 at 23:59 UK time.
Before you make entries, you must gather all the candidate details. These must match the candidate’s UCAS entry.
In addition to the candidate's name, date of birth and gender, you must provide their UCAS ID. You do not need to add it when you make the entry but it should be added to their entry before the closing deadline to make sure their result is sent to the relevant institutions.
You can use the candidate registration form to gather candidate details. This can be adapted to include your centre's specific arrangements.
Candidates need to be entered for STEP examinations via the Entries Extranet, a secure website that allows exams officers at approved centres to register, view, amend and withdraw candidate entries.
All approved centres are issued with a login for the Entries Extranet:
For step-by-step instructions for making entries, please see the Entries Extranet user guide.
If you need to make changes to a candidate’s entries, please amend the existing entry. Do not make a new entry as this may delay the processing of results.
Entries can be amended up until the entry closing date – this includes the spelling of the candidate name, date of birth, university choices and STEP papers.
Please see the Entries Extranet user guide for more details.

Your centre can charge candidates an additional administrative fee to cover any costs incurred, eg hiring invigilators or venue hire.
Your centre will be sent an invoice after the entry window closes. The invoice will include information on how payment can be made.
