Standard application process for higher education? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uniform

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'standard' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'application process for higher education?' is the wordplay.
'application process' becomes 'form' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'higher education?' becomes 'uni' (I've seen this in other clues).
'form' put after 'uni' is 'UNIFORM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uniform that I've seen before include "follower of tango on the radio?" , "Military wear" , "Military clothing" , "Regular - soldier's dress" , "Regular; clothing" .)
