Clearing can be stressful so, to help you with this we have put some top tips for you.

Careers will be in college from  
7.00 am on Results Day
Thursday 14th August.




TOP TIPS

Before A-level results day

Create a 'reserve list' of interesting courses in case you don't get the grades you need for your original choices.

• Make sure you have all your information to hand ready to call us. This will make sure you stand the best chance of securing a place with us as we expect there to be strong competition for courses this year.

What do I need for Clearning?

• Your UCAS number personal ID
• Your qualifications including GCSEs
• Be prepared to talk about your reasons for applying for the course over the phone i.e a verbal personal statement may be required
• Reasons for applying to that university

On results day 14th August

• If you only just miss the grades you need, contact the university which made you the offer and check if it will still accept you on that course (or a similar one).
• If you still don't have a place after contacting your original choice universities, check the full list of vacancies on the UCAS website1.
• Compare the course places available with the reserve list you put together.
• Make the calls yourself. Universities can only offer places to you – and not through parents or teachers.
• If you don't get through first time, keep trying. .
• If you can, it's best to call from a landline as the line quality will be better than from a mobile.
• Remember the person at the other end of the phone is trying to help you. Students and staff are specially trained in dealing with Clearing inquiries.
• Make a few notes after each call so you don't get confused about what is available at each university and accidentally ring the same place twice.
• When you've made your calls, take time to consider all your options. Ask friends, family and teachers for advice – but remember the final decision is yours.
• Don't panic –
