Clearing
On Twitter? Use the #ucasclearing hashtag to find the latest information from us and other students.
Clearing is a service available between July and September, but for most people it is used after the exam results are published in August. It can help people without a university or college place to find suitable vacancies on higher education courses.
If you are flexible and you have reasonable exam results, there is still a good chance you will find another course through Clearing.
