What is Clearing?

How Clearing works

Clearing is now open. This is the time of year when universities fill places that are still available after the main application cycle.

Simply put, Clearing gives you another opportunity to apply to university – whether you're applying later, changing your plans or already have your results.

Who can use Clearing?

Clearing is open to a wide range of students, including those who:

• apply after the main UCAS deadline
• change their plans or course
• already have their results
• apply from outside the UK
• decide to go to university later than planned
