 Please don't add Essex as your Clearing choice until you've received our email confirming that we are making you a Clearing offer.

Changed your mind?

If you decide that you're no longer interested in studying at Essex it's really important that you let us know as soon as possible, so that we can offer your place to another applicant. Please email us at clearing@essex.ac.uk.
