How Clearing works

Clearing opens for UK and international applicants on 5 July 2024. Find out how to apply.

What is Clearing?

Clearing is a process that allows students to search and apply for undergraduate courses at Universities that still have places available. You can find out more about how Clearing works, including a guide for parents and supporters on the UCAS website.

Who can use Clearing?

You can use Clearing once you've received your exam results.

You're eligible for Clearing if:

  • You have your exam results
  • You haven't received any offers
  • You declined the offers you received
  • You didn't meet the conditions of the offer
  • You're applying after 30 June.

You can also apply through Clearing if you're already holding an offer. If you've changed your mind about your choice of University, or your results are better than you expected, you can use Clearing to explore your options.

You may be placed into Clearing automatically by UCAS if you meet the above criteria, or you can release yourself into Clearing through UCAS.
