Hey @faeim789

Clearing offers you a chance to find a full-time undergraduate course to start this September. During Clearing, universities will advertise places available on courses that you can apply to. To apply you need to:

Calculate your UCAS points, if you don't know what results you will get on results day, put in some different results to see the best and worst results you can expect. Use our calculator here: https://bit.ly/3A9cEYf

Find a course you're interested in, try to find courses that require a different number of UCAS points so you have some different options. You can search on the UCAS website or on the university website. The courses we have available are listed here: https://bit.ly/3S5c3wX

Make a note of the universities and courses you're interested in

On results day, once you have your results, ring the universities you are interested in

The university will ask for your personal details and your results so they can decide whether they will be offering you a place or not. We have some advice to get ready for the phone call here: https://bit.ly/3Syj2Pk

If you meet the entry requirements then you will be offered a place on your chosen course and the university will email you to tell you what to do next.

It's very simple process that lots of students go through each year. If you want more advice then ask me anything, plus we have lots of advice on our website: https://bit.ly/3TNG4S7
