What is Clearing?

Clearing is an opportunity for those applicants who are yet to find a place at university to apply for places that are still available. Each year thousands of applicants find a place at university through Clearing. 

Who can apply for Clearing?

Clearing starts on Wednesday, 5 July 2023 and is open to: 

  • anyone who has made a UCAS undergraduate application and doesn't hold any offers. 
  • those who are yet to make any applications to a university for this September. 

You may find yourself ‘in Clearing’ because of one of the following reasons:

  • on A-Level results day, you did not meet the requirements of your firm or insurance choice university.
  • on results day, you have met the requirements of your firm or insurance choice university but have changed your mind about going to either of them. In which case you would need to ‘release yourself in to Clearing’.
  • you have not yet applied to any university for this September and want to apply through Clearing for a course starting this autumn.
