Ask your exam centre for the details when you collect your results.

Yes, but no one can add a clearing choice on ucas until 5pm so gives people time to get as many verbal offers as they can and have time to think about it.

Can I apply for the course if I don't have the required ucas point? The course is 260, but I only got 220 (though I'm having my history grade remarked)

No generally in clearing its not worth trying if you dont meet the entry requirements.

Heya,

You can always ring up the university and ask. Keep checking UCAS Clearing to see updated entry requirements. It's good to have some aspirations choices of unis to call through Clearing, but make sure you also phone those where you know you've met the entry requirements - things move quickly so you don't want to miss out on a place :smile:

Hope this helps, if you've got any other questions let me know :h:

We've also got a general clearing advice line that anyone can phone (even if they're not thinking about Staffs) for help: 03702186241

Good luck and let me know how you get on :h:

Is the 260 their standard entry offer or is a special clearing offer?

If it's the standard offer then yes it's worth a phone call to see if they can help you - if it's on their clearing website then they will already have lowered it down.

Let's say someone wants to do a certain course at university e.g. economics but on result day they don't get into the university of their first choice and rejects other offers he got when he applied. So the person goes into clearing is it possible to do a different course than they applied to e.g. economics to physics or to engineering?
