How does clearing work?

So I have accepted an offer for USW in Cardiff, I am enquiring about Ulster University as I am a grade short than predicted, how does clearing work?
1. Call up a uni you are interested in (ideally having self-released into Clearing, but many unis aren't requiring this)
2. Tell them your grades and see if they will offer you a place. Get email confirmation
3. If they do, add it to Track and they will accept you

You can do 1 and 2 with multiple unis, but only 3 with your final choice

Perfect! Thankyou! Called Ulster today to see and they said they’ll contact me Monday latest. Have an offer accepted with another Uni but not declining until I hear back from them

Thanks for the advice! Hopefully they get back to me. Is it normal for them to leave it for a few days(?

They are under no obligation to accept you, and you have said you don't meet the grade requirement, and it will be for the same reason that I posted in your other thread :smile:

Yeah that’s true. I’m just stressing. Just depends if they have any placements.

Yes I know it must be stressful... But try and distract yourself as there's nothing you can really do until Monday. You have a place at uni regardless :smile:
