clearing offer

I got from Birkbeck a provisional unconditional offer in Clearing. Does anyone know what that mean? I have to say that I don't meet the English requirements.

Not sure what you are asking. If you have an unconditional offer, it means they don't apparently care that you haven't met the English requirements.

Well, then, you are in, assuming you meet the non-academic conditions, if there are any. This usually means things like DBS checks for degrees which require them.

So when they will see that I don't meet the english requirements they maybe will not accept me?

They have already seen what qualifications you have, haven't they? They are on the Ucas form. They have accepted you without the English requirements. That's what unconditional means.

If you're an international student, you need a student visa to get into the UK - could this be what they mean? You'll need an English qualification to get the visa.

If not, just call them back and ask them what their "non-academic conditions" actually are.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that.

To apply through clearing, you need to have a clearing number, which allows the university to see your application even if you didn't apply there originally. All the qualifications you have will be visible. If you have taken any exams since, you need to inform the university of the results yourself, especially if the exams were foreign ones.

To be honest, you need to discuss all this with the university itself. Call them on Monday.

Ok. Thanks. I will
I was a bit confused as well when I got my offer yesterday, but I just called them and they told me that the offer is unconditional (puhh) but it is "provisional" because it was up to me if I wanted to accept it or not. If you add it into UCAS within 72 hours, then you're cool.

Yupp, says referred. Don't worry I gave Birkbeck a call and they told me that there are a lot of people in clearing ATM so they can't accept the latest one until next week. Don't worry.

I'm Swedish and I haven't made either the IELTS of TOEFL. If they have giving you an unconditional offer then you're cool. Seriously calm down. Focus in fixing everything with student finance services, accommodation etc instead.
Thanks. I will call them Monday just to be sure because I'm to scared haha. I hope will going everything well.
