2. When does Clearing start and end?
Clearing is open from 5 July and closes on 17 October 2023. You can apply through UCAS Clearing before results day if you don't have an offer from another university or college.
3. How do I check my application status during Clearing?
If you've already applied through UCAS, go online and check your application status. Your clearing number will be shown if you're in clearing, and you'll need this number before contacting us.
