Clearing Advice

Hopefully you won't need this but, just in case, it's a good idea to be prepared if you need to enter the UCAS 'Clearing' process on August 14th...

First things first, don't panic:  act quickly but act wisely and seek out advice from the experts at school and beyond.

These websites are a good place to begin:

Click here for the 'WHICH University' results day advice site. There's lots of answers to FAQs as well as a 'What to expect on Results Day page'.

Click here for UCAS' own guide to the Clearing process.  It even has a useful video to explain what to do!

You might not have thought this far but accessing universities through Clearing can affect your Student Loan process.  For specific advice about this, from the Student Loans Company, click here.

Last year, over 57 000 students found their university places through Clearing so don't worry if this year, you're joining them.  If you're still unsure, here's a case study from WHICH University. 

Good Luck!
