UCAS Clearing Process?

Hi everyone.

I was just wondering how the UCAS clearing process goes?

What stages are there that you need to go through? Like, where do you go to see what places are available? Do you get to apply to several courses at the same time or one by one? How long do you have to respond to the offer and so on?

Many thanks in advance!

You can see the list of courses in clearing at 12am on results day, you can get to it through the UCAS website. You ring up the universities and they decide whether or not to give you a verbal offer, they'll tell you how long you have to accept the offer, usually 24 hours. You then enter the university whose offer you have decided to accept onto UCAS.
