How to sign up to clearing

Just a quick question, how do you actually sign up to clearing? I click the link on ucas link and click register yet it takes me to track. I don't know how to actually sign up for clearing in case I need it for results day. Bear in mind I do have one offer that I firmed - is this the reason j can't sign up? any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks :smile:

I think if you miss out ur firm offer, and also insurance you automatically go into clearing
If I’m wrong someone pls correct me?x
And also if you do better than you expected you can decline ur offer and choose a better uni through clearing

You can’t decline an offer that you have previously accepted.

If you want to enter clearing then you will need to ask your university to make that happen.

On results day that will take 24-48 hours in most cases. Once they have informed UCAS that they won’t hold you to your contract then you will be plced into clearing and can add a clearing choice on track if a university instructs you to do that.

That’s something you’d have to discuss with ur uni, like call them up and let them know

Okay thanks, so if I call up the uni tomorrow and say I want to decline the offer - They should decline it for me and I should then enter clearing?!

They’re unlikely to be willing to speak to you tomorrow. Universities are processing A level results at the moment and under strict embargo until Thursday.

If your firm and the university you want to go to are the same university then you just need to do as they ask. Clearing would only be used if you want to go to a different university.
