Get prepared for Clearing

Don’t forget to sign up for our Clearing emails to stay up-to-date with everything you need to know about Clearing. The journey to university can be a new experience. With results day and Clearing approaching, it’s best to start preparing as soon as possible to ensure you are in a good position on the day.

If you've already applied to university, you'll have to wait until results day to see if your place has been confirmed.

UCAS Hub will tell you if you're eligible for Clearing on results day. If you are, you will be given a Clearing Number. Keep a note of your Clearing Number and your UCAS Personal ID, as you will need these when calling universities.

To make things easier for you, we have created a handy interactive Clearing timeline to guide you through your next steps.
