UK University Clearing Information

"University Clearing" is the process where students who have not been able to obtain a Higher Education place at a UK University or College can search for vacant places on courses at all the UK institutions. The process is known as Clearing.

Dont Panic - of the 413,000 university applicants given firm places last summer, nearly one in 10 (39,000) secured them through Clearing.

Who is eligible for clearing?

Anyone who has missed the grades demanded for a place this autumn at both their Firm and Insurance choices, or who applied after the deadline of June 30, or has not yet applied.
