Clearing

What is Clearing?

Clearing is another opportunity for you to secure your place at university this September.

You will be able to apply through Clearing if you:

• haven't done quite as well as you expected and you haven't met the conditions of your offers
  
• haven't made a UCAS application this year
  
• or if you haven't received any offers (or none that you wanted to accept).
  

When is Clearing?

• Clearing opens Thursday 5 July 2018 for those who already have exam results or hold no offers.
  
• Clearing officially opens on results day, Thursday 16 August 2018.
  
• Clearing closes on Thursday 20 September 2018.
  

When Clearing opens you will be able to call our Clearing hotline to speak with our Admissions team about the process and your application to study with us this September. Our Admissions department is open Monday to Thursday 7:00–17:00 and Fridays 9:00–16:30.

For more information and advice on Clearing please visit the UCAS website.  

What is Adjustment?

Adjustment is the perfect chance for you to find an alternative course or place to study if you do better than you expected in your exams.

You will be eligible for Adjustment if you meet and exceed the conditions of your conditional firm choice offer.

If you try Adjustment but you don't find anything, you'll still keep the course place you gained on results day.

When is Adjustment?

Adjustment is available from Thursday 16 August 2018 until Friday 31 August 2018 and is entirely optional.

You have five 24-hour periods (including weekends) within this time to use it, starting from when your conditional firm offer changes to unconditional firm, or on A level results day – whichever is later. If your offer goes to unconditional firm less than five days before Friday 31 August 2018, you'll only have whatever time is left between then and Friday 31 August 2018.

For more information and advice on Adjustment please visit the UCAS website.
