If you didn’t receive any offers, didn’t reply to them in time or simply just wanted to apply elsewhere then UCAS Clearing may be the place for you. Many people don’t realise if you already have your A Level results, for example taken a gap year, you do not need to wait until A Level results day to apply through clearing. Clearing reference numbers will be available on your UCAS track from the 5th July onwards.
Once you have chosen a course you may find yourself living away from home, in an halls of residence or privately owned rented accommodation. Therefore, it would be advisable to obtain some personal possessions insurance.

What steps do I need to take?
Can I go to university if I haven’t applied already?

Can I defer my university place if I do not want to go this year?
Deferring your university place until the following year, if you have achieved the grades they require, will be up to the university in question. Direct contact with the university will need to be made via telephone to ask them however they may say no if they feel the reason given is not a necessary one.

What is Adjustment?
Adjustment is a process available for applicants who have met or exceeded the conditions for their firm choice and runs from 18th August until 31st August. It enables applicants the opportunity to reconsider where and what they want to study. If students are in a position to make this choice then you must register to use Adjustment in Track. Acceptance by another university will mean the replacement of the student’s original choice to their unconditional firm offer. Due to there being no official ‘Adjustment’ vacancy list students must contact the relevant Admissions tutor via telephone in order to enquire or can use the clearing vacancies to identify courses with availability.
Below are stated just some of the clearing opportunities available for you...
