University Clearing Accommodation FAQs

What is university Clearing?

Clearing is how universities fill places on their courses that haven’t been taken. It’s open to anyone who hasn’t yet received an offer, didn’t meet the conditions of their offers, or has changed their mind about where or what to study.

The Clearing process is run by UCAS, which matches students without a university place to courses with available spots. It’s like a second chance to find the right course, often used by students who didn’t receive the grades they expected, applied late, or have changed their course choice.
