What Happens On Results Day?
Students may not have got the grades or points score that they needed, but their Firm or Insurance choice university may still decide to accept them onto the course. Contact them first and do not just assume that they are in Clearing. If they decide not to accept the student, or if they are not holding offers at any institution, they are eligible to apply for a place through Clearing.
The student's UCAS application will state ‘You are in Clearing’ or ‘Clearing has started’. If they are in Clearing, they must contact universities directly to enquire about available places on their courses and whether they meet their requirements.
