Clearing FAQs 


What is Clearing?

Clearing is a process set up by UCAS that lets you apply for courses that still have places available from July. 


Is Clearing for Me? 

Clearing could be a great option for you if any of the below apply to your circumstances: 

  • If you didn’t receive any offers from your chosen universities on results day
  • You have changed your mind about the university you originally selected
  • You didn’t meet the conditions of the offer you were given

How do I Apply?

It's very quick and simple: 

  1. UCAS will release an official Clearing list online.
  2. Once you’ve decided which courses you would like to apply for, give those universities a call. You might be asked for your Clearing number, so make sure you have it ready. You can find your Clearing number in UCAS Track.
  3. The university will usually send you a verbal offer followed by a written offer sent by email.
  4. You will then need to accept the offer you have chosen.
