When does Clearing open?

As previously stated, clearing starts on 5th July 2021

It’s also very important to note that if you applied to university through UCAS by 30th June 2021, but don't meet the entry requirements for your chosen course, or didn’t receive an offer from a UK university, you’ll automatically be entered into the university clearing process.

If you're applying to university for the first time after 30th June 2021, you can also apply for a course through clearing.

If you’re thinking about applying through clearing this year, you’ll need to have your exam results before you apply. For A-level and most new BTEC courses, results day is 10 August 2021.
