WHY CHOOSE NORTHUMBRIA
FAQS ABOUT CLEARING
Clearing is the UCAS process that matches students who don't have a confirmed university place with courses that still have vacancies. While it is most commonly used around A-level results day, many courses can remain open to applications up until Autumn.
You can use Clearing if your results are different to what you expected, if you don't hold any offers, if you've decided a course isn't right for you, or if you're applying to university for the first time after the main UCAS deadline.
Clearing usually opens in July and runs until courses fill, with the busiest period around A-level results day in August. Some courses remain available into September.
If you're interested in finding out more and being first to hear about Clearing updates, you can sign up us as a Clearing VIP ahead of time and we'll start sharing information straight to your inbox from spring.
The majority of applicants don't need to go though Clearing. It's there as an option if your circumstances change, so it's worth understanding how it works even if you don't expect to use it.
Requirements for courses may be subject to change during Clearing, so we recommend checking our website regularly for the most up to date information. We accept all Level 3 qualifications that carry UCAS Tariff points. If you're close to the requirements, get in touch during Clearing - we'll do our best to help.
Yes. Accommodation is available for students who join through Clearing. You can explore your options now on our accommodation page and you'll be able to secure your space as one of your first steps once you have accepted your Clearing offer.
