Clearing advice for parents and guardians
Tips on how to support somebody through Clearing
Clearing is now closed. Details for 2027/28 Clearing entry will be published here closer to the time.
What is Clearing?
Clearing is the name of the process universities use to fill any available spaces on their courses. It is an exciting opportunity for students to get into a university and on a course that best suits them. Last year, over 70,000 UK students secured their university place through Clearing.
Clearing is a great option if your child has:
changed their mind about where or what they’d like to study
not met the conditions of their offers
not received any offers
received better grades than predicted
rejected all their offers
applied after 30 June
not applied through UCAS at all
only just decided to go to university
taken a year out/gap year and already has qualifications.
