Everything you need to know about clearing

What is Clearing?

Clearing is the name of a UCAS service that allows colleges and universities to fill the remaining spaces on courses that aren’t full up yet.

This means that, even after A Level Results Day, students who don’t hold offers can still secure their place on a course at a college or university.

Students holding offers they don’t want to accept can also secure a place through Clearing.

If you missed the 30 June deadline for applying to college or university, don’t worry! You can still find a suitable course through Clearing if:

  • you haven’t received offers (or do not want to accept offers given)
  • the conditions of your offers were not met
  • you have paid a fee of £26 for ‘multiple choice application’
  • you have declined your firm place on UCAS Track

Clearing for Higher Education courses opens on 5 July at Activate Learning. Visit What is Clearing? on the UCAS website to stay updated on the latest information from UCAS.
