How to withdraw from insurance

Hi, I have accepted my firm and insurance but if I don't get into my firm choice I don't want to go to my insurance, rather into clearing. I have emailed my insurance, what else can I do?

If you end up getting into your insurance tomorrow all you can do is nicely ask that they put you into clearing and hope they do it in a reasonable amount of time.

As above - but don't say "withdraw" - withdrawing in UCAS would cancel your application altogether it wouldn't put you in clearing...just ask to be put into clearing.

I feel the same. I rang them last week and they said they couldn't do anything until they had my results. As its so late you'll have to try ringing tomorrow after you get your results. I've read on the UCAS site that unis would rather release you than admit unhappy students. Might not happen for certain though as you're obligated to go

It's very unlikely a university would refuse...they might not rush it through though (and even if they do it can take 24-48 hours from phoning on results day to show on Track depending on the unviersity's systems and procedures).

If you definetly don't want to use clearing, then yes you can ask to be withdrawn.

Wait for track to open and then if you dont get into your firm and are absolutely sure this is what you want, then you can phone ucas to do it.

Wait and see if you are accepted at your firm before contacting your insurance.

Hi there,

If you are defiantly sure that you don’t want to attendyour insurance choice, then you can ring them today (following the release ofyour results) and ask them to ‘releaseyou’. This then puts you back into the application process and you canstart to accept offers from other universities.

If for whatever reason you think, I would rather not goto university then you can ask to be withdrawn.Good luck today! If you need any help at all feel free tomessage me, I will be on the student room all day today. If you would like to talk to a member of our clearingteam you can give us a call on 03330 432414.
