University Clearing tips Susie King, head of admissions at Middlesex University London , gives her advice on how to navigate the university Clearing process: Don't panic if you don't get the grades you were expecting - you can shop around for suitable courses.
Listen to advice from parents and teachers as well as university academics and programme leaders when considering courses through Clearing. You can also discuss your options and get support and advice from the National Careers Service. Speak to admissions advisers prior to results day on the likelihood of spaces being available on your chosen course.
While they won't be able to confirm exact numbers, you'll get a good idea, and this will help you to prepare. Consider retaking your exams if your heart's set on a particular subject.
Speak to your teachers - they're perfectly placed to offer guidance on resitting, or if there are universities that might take you for a similar course with lower entry grades.
Be ready to answer questions on your reasons for choosing a specific course as well as your academic ability , as universities will want to know you're the right fit. You may even be asked to speak to a programme leader about the course, or be invited for a university interview.
Be aware of dates and times , including the fact most courses won't close until the end of the first day of Clearing. Hotlines will stay open until September, giving you time to discuss your options with those closest to you. Take notes when talking to universities, jotting down reference numbers and words of advice, while having your UCAS number to hand.
Remember, getting a place through Clearing isn't as difficult as it sounds, and you may be surprised at the number of vacancies. However, depending on your results there'll be some courses and universities that'll be unattainable, and recognising this early on will save you a lot of time.
While you can't apply through Clearing until you have your results, you should avoid being in Clearing all the way up to the October deadline. The longer you leave it, the fewer places will be available. See the full breakdown of this year's application deadlines. This isn't true at all. With the number of university applications decreasing in recent years and a lifting of the cap on numbers, more universities have spaces they look to fill through Clearing.
Many of the universities in our top 20 have courses available. You no longer have to wait to be released by your insurance choice, but can do it yourself, saving valuable time. You can. You'll need to get in touch with the uni you originally applied to and ask to be released make sure you do this as soon as you can.
After they release you, you'll be entered into Clearing. Within the context of Clearing, they may well go lower than the offer listed on their prospectus. It depends how much demand each university and course has, as well as the grades of other interested students. The best way to find out is to ask the universities directly.
You can only add one Clearing choice at a time to Track. If the university doesn't confirm your place, you can then add another. You have nothing to lose, so if you don't get a deferred place you can just reapply. Make sure to be clear you want a deferred place with the university.
You'll automatically be entered into the Clearing process if you don't get an offer from either your CF or CI choices. It may be the case that some results are missing, or you haven't met the grades and universities are placing near misses such as yourself in order to see who they can take. They could also be waiting for other candidates' results to come in before making a decision. The UCAS system can take time to update. If it hasn't updated later in the day, make a start on your plan B and start calling a few universities with Clearing vacancies.
You could also try emailing or contacting on social media, but calling is likely to be the quickest and most direct route — even if it doesn't feel like it. If you've already applied for funding but changed your course or university, you need to update your details as soon as possible. If you've made your first application through Clearing and haven't applied for finance yet, you need to apply now to give yourself the best possible chance of getting your first loan in time for starting your course.
