UCCA , the Universities Central Council on Admissions , provided a central clearing house for university applications in the United Kingdom from its formation in 1961 until its merger with Polytechnics Central Admissions Service PCAS Polytechnics Central Admissions Service to form UCAS in 1993. UCCA was created in response to concerns during the 1950s that the increase in University applications was unmanageable using the systems then in place, where each student applied individually to as many institutions as they chose. This concern led to the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals CVCP setting up an ad hoc committee in 1957 to review the matter this committee in its Third Report of January 1961 recommended the setting up of a central agency, which subsequently became known as UCCA. Its First and Second Reports had already made a number of recommendations aimed at harmonising admissions procedures across different universities. The name UCCA referred originally to the management board the Central Council overseeing the new process, but soon came to refer to the organisation responsible for its day to day operation. This was based initially in London, and moved to Cheltenham , Gloucestershire in 1968. The new scheme had a pilot year handling a subset of applications for entry in 1963, and its first full year of operation handled admissions for 1964. The scheme was essentially a collaborative venture between independent universities, and membership was voluntary. Most English universities joined from the start. Oxford and Cambridge joined with slightly modified procedures for the 1966 entry the London medical and dental schools, as well as Belfast and Stirling for 1967. By 1968 the office was handling 592,000 applications from 110,400 candidates to 80 institutions. Initially, processing of applications was carried out using punched card technology.
