Clearing is how universities and colleges fill any places they still have on their courses.
From 5 July – 21 October 2024, you can apply for a course using Clearing if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college, and the course still has places.
You can use Clearing if:
- you’re applying after 30 June
- you didn’t receive any offers (or none you wanted to accept)
- you didn’t meet the conditions of your offers
- you’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in your application
