Please see here for more information about Clearing 2010.
What is Clearing?
Clearing is used by applicants who have not managed to secure a place at university or college for the current year. It begins in August and it can help people to find suitable vacancies on higher education courses: more than 30,000 people gain a place during Clearing every year.
If you are flexible and you have reasonable exam results, there is still a good chance you will find another course.
Who can use Clearing?
You are eligible for Clearing if you have applied in the current application year and if:
- you have not withdrawn your application;
- you hold no offers; or
- your offers have not been confirmed because you have not met the conditions (eg you have not achieved the required grades); or
- you have declined your offers or not responded by the due date; or
- your offers have not been confirmed, and you have declined any alternative offers from the same university; or
- you have applied after 30 June. If UCAS received your application after these dates, they will not have sent it to any universities and colleges.
Course vacancies in Clearing are published on the UCAS website from mid-August until late-September.
