Clearing FAQ's
1. What is Clearing?
Clearing is a process managed by UCAS that matches applicants to full-time higher education places in universities and colleges. It's an opportunity to find a suitable course, even if applying after 30 June or didn’t receive any offers (or none you wanted to accept).
2. When does Clearing start and end?
Clearing is open from 5 July and closes on 21 October 2024. You can apply through UCAS Clearing before results day if you don't have an offer from another university or college.
3. How do I check my application status during Clearing?
If you've already applied through UCAS, go online and check your application status. Your clearing number will be shown if you're in clearing, and you'll need this number before contacting us.
4. What information do I need to have ready for Clearing?
Have your details handy, including your results, mobile number, clearing number, and a refreshed personal statement.
5. How do I apply through Clearing?
If you have previously applied through UCAS, check your UCAS Hub to see if you are in Clearing! If you are, your Clearing Number will be displayed; keep it handy for applications.
You can also browse at our courses that still have spaces available, or call our Clearing Helpline - 01254 292594 - where our skilled staff will guide you through the process.

9. Do I need to wait for Results Day?
