Help your child prepare for UCAS Clearing.
If students change their mind about where or what they want to study or they don’t get the grades expected, they can still find a place through UCAS Clearing. Many students join Northumbria University this way.
So what happens on results day? If your child meets the grades for their firm choice, congratulations! Their place will be automatically confirmed. If they miss the grades, they might still be accepted by their insurance choice. Check UCAS Hub for their application status and key deadlines.
Our experienced staff can support students through Clearing via our hotline at 0800 085 1085. For more tips and support, visit our ‘What is Clearing’ page, you can browse our Frequently Asked Questions.
*Please note: we use the terms ‘parent’ and ‘child' throughout the website for simplicity, but we appreciate that many of you may be carers, legal guardians or step-parents. This information is aimed at anyone who fulfils a parenting role for a young person in the UK who is considering a university education.
