One tracker beats many inboxes
In the United Kingdom, most undergraduate applications go through a single shared service, UCAS, rather than one application per university — which is exactly why a single tracker helps: deadlines from different systems land in one list. In Germany, many applications run through uni-assist or directly with the university, and in the Netherlands through Studielink, so check each university's own application route and deadline and record it here. Use these names only as a starting point — the university's own admissions page is the authority for its deadline.

📅 Sort by deadline, not by preference
Your favourite university is not always the most urgent. Work through the tracker in deadline order so the earliest closing application is finished first.
📄 Keep documents ready before deadlines
Transcripts, language certificates and letters take weeks to obtain. Pair this tracker with our compress PDF for university application tool so portal file sizes never block a submission.
✉️ One status per application, updated weekly
Vague statuses like “in progress” hide what is actually missing. Write the next concrete step — “waiting for transcript”, “motivation letter draft 2” — and review the tracker every week.
🗂️ Save a PDF after every change
Because nothing is stored online, download a fresh PDF whenever the tracker changes. The printed copy is your backup if a browser tab closes.
Straight talk: limits
⚖️ Deadlines are as entered
This tool does not fetch or verify any university deadline. Always confirm each deadline on the university's own admissions page — deadlines move, and a tracker cannot know.
📝 No portal connection
The tracker does not submit applications or connect to UCAS, uni-assist, Studielink, Campus France or any university portal. It organises your work; you submit through the official route.
🔤 Plain text only
The PDF uses a standard font for maximum compatibility. Keep university and programme names in standard Latin characters for the cleanest output.
Frequently asked questions
Is this application tracker really free?
Yes — unlimited trackers, every field and PDF download, forever. No trial, no watermark, no account and no payment details.
How many applications can I track?
As many as you like — add a row per application. If you are applying to more than ten universities, consider splitting the tracker by country or intake.
Does it submit my application?
No. It is an organiser only. You still apply through the university, UCAS, uni-assist, Studielink, Campus France or whichever official route that university uses.
What status should I write?
The next concrete step, not a vague label: “documents ready”, “waiting for transcript”, “submitted 12 January”, “interview scheduled”. Future you will thank present you.
Can I use it for scholarships too?
Yes — add scholarship applications as rows with their own deadlines and statuses. A scholarship deadline missed is money lost, so tracking them together is wise.
Where is my application data stored?
Only in this browser tab while you type. The tracker is assembled on your own device — your university choices are never uploaded.
What if a deadline changes?
Edit the row and download a fresh PDF. Always re-check the university's own admissions page near the deadline — that page, not this tracker, is the authority.
