Hi

Just wondering what courses are on the clearing system, are they just the ones that the universities havent filled or specific to clearing??
I am really unsure on how all the UCAS stuff works. And its stressing me out!!
Anything anyone can fill me in on would be really appreciated :smile:

Courses that are available in Clearing are courses which universities still have vacancies for, i.e. places there were not filled up during the regular application process or UCAS Extra.

Do you have any other specific questions?

The clearing places are ones which people have missed grades for, or ones which the university hasn't received enough applicants for. The courses are announced on the internet and in the Independent on the day of results (17th August), so that's when we find out which courses there are.

There's a thread on this board which is really helpful and explains the whole process of clearing and results day, have a read, it's at the top of the list of threads. Good luck! :smile:

Nothing that should really concern you. Yes, the old CEFs has candidate grades on them. There's not much info available at this point of time (yet) on the passport system.
