Prepare a Clearing shortlist before results day pressure starts.
Use current UCAS vacancies and each university's official course requirement. Tansiky UK helps organise options; only a university can make an offer.
What to use this guide for
Clearing can help if you have no offers, missed firm or insurance conditions, applied late, or choose to decline a confirmed place. Your UCAS Hub status determines the route available.
Vacancies change quickly. Compare live UCAS search with the university course page, then speak to the university before adding a choice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Clearing if I already have an offer?
Your options depend on your current UCAS Hub status. Declining a confirmed place is serious; read current UCAS guidance and speak to the university first.
What should I prepare for a Clearing call?
Have your UCAS ID, achieved results, course questions, contact details and notes ready. Check the live vacancy and official requirement first.
