Frequently Asked Questions

Clearing is an opportunity to apply fresh for a 2024 university course, any time after 5th July 2024.

There are lots of different reasons people apply to university through Clearing. You can apply through Clearing if:

  • You’re applying after 30th June – if you’ve already researched universities but ended up applying later than the original UCAS deadline, you will have automatically been entered into Clearing.
  • You haven’t applied at all yet – no problem, you can still apply through Clearing.
  • You applied before 30th June but didn’t receive any offers, or have decided that you no longer want to accept any of your offers. Perhaps your circumstances have changed, or you’ve had a change of heart.
  • Come results day, you didn’t meet the conditions of your offers. If this is the case for you, don’t worry - you won’t be alone. At this point, you can now enter Clearing to find another university.

Feel free to call us on 01244 567470. One of our friendly Clearing advisers will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
