You can’t get through using the hotline number. What should you do?

 

 

You'll automatically be entered into the Clearing process if you don't get an offer from either your CF or CI choices.

 

You didn’t meet either of your offers but the universities haven’t declined yet. What should you do?

Call the list of universities in uk to check the status of your application.

 

It may be the case that some results are missing, or you haven't met the grades and universities are placing near misses such as yourself in order to see who they can take. They could also be waiting for other candidates' results to come in before making a decision.

 

The UCAS system can take time to update. If it hasn't updated later in the day, make a start on your plan B and start calling a few universities with Clearing vacancies.

 

You can’t get through using the hotline number. What should you do?

Be patient. Unfortunately, this is the reality of Clearing!

 

University hotlines will be extremely busy but persevere and you’ll get through eventually. You could also try emailing or contacting on social media, but calling is likely to be the quickest and most direct route – even if it doesn't feel like it.

 

You'd like to go through Clearing but haven’t applied yet. When's the deadline for Clearing and can you still apply through it?

You can still apply but you'll need to get organised.

 

You’ll need to complete the UCAS application as normal, including a personal statement. You can’t add course choices but once registered, you’ll get an email with a link to the UCAS Track and your Clearing number.

 

Tips for writing your perfect personal statement

Does going through Clearing affect getting your student loan?

If you've already applied for funding but changed your course or university, you need to update your details as soon as possible.

 

If you've made your first application through Clearing and haven't applied for finance yet, you need to apply now to give yourself the best possible chance of getting your first loan in time for starting your course.

 

There's a possibility you won't get your loan in time for the start of the year.

 

How do you find accommodation while going through Clearing?

If the course and university are right, go for it and think about accommodation later. But if you've got a few options, the availability of accommodation could be a useful way to decide where to go.

 

You’ll need to stay relaxed and be prepared to compromise. If the university you want to go to has run out of spaces in the type of accommodation you’re after, then you'll have to think about what's more important to you: your university or where you live.

 

Be proactive. Go to house viewings, keep ringing the accommodation providers or estate agents, get onto social media groups to find potential housemates and do your research. The accommodation you end up in can have a major bearing on your first-year experience, so it's worth putting in the effort to find somewhere right for you.

 

 

Adjustment FAQs

Adjustment opens up opportunities for students who meet and exceed their predicted grades.

 

What's Adjustment? Who can use it?

Adjustment is a way for students to swap their confirmed place for one at a different university.

 

The service is for students who ‘meet and exceed’ the conditions of their CF choice. For example, if your CF asked for ABB at A Level and you achieved AAB (or higher) you could use Adjustment to find a place on a university course asking for those higher grades.

Foundation Stage Profile and Baseline Assessment

  In 2002 statutory baseline assessments were replaced by the foundation stage profile. Some schools continue to use both. The purpose of base-line assessment (usually carried out during the first term in the reception year) was to enable the reception teacher to plan their teaching to match individual children's needs and eventually to judge the child's progress against this initial baseline assessment. The basic skills of speaking and listening, reading, writing, mathematics and personal and social development are assessed. The Foundation Stage Profile has 13 summary scales covering the six areas of learning, which have to be completed for each child in state education by the end of his or her time in the foundation stage. The areas of assessment are: Personal, social and emotional development (how the child works, interacts and cooperates with others) Communication, language and literacy (listening, speaking, reading and writing skills) Mathematical dev...

Homework and Grades

  According to the world university rankings compiled by the Times Higher Education, more than half of the world’s top 200 universities are located in either the US or the UK. Both countries share a rich tradition of quality higher education, excellent research facilities, and a culture that promotes intellectualism as well as academic freedom. However, while both certainly provide an excellent environment for learning, there are many differences between the two countries regarding the structure of the university as well as student life. In this article, we will explore the primary differences between the American and British systems of education.   Length of Time Perhaps the most important difference between the education system in the US, and the UK, is the amount of time it takes to finish your degree (except in Scotland, where a bachelor’s degree also lasts four years). In general, degree programs in the US take about one year longer than programs in the UK, although...
