Q&A for result day and everything clearing

Hi everyone! :banana:

Results day is quickly approaching and as it gets closer, I’ve noticed more discussions and confusion about clearing :closedeyes:

We at De Montfort University are hoping that this discussion page can serve as a Clearing Q&A forum, where you can post your questions

and a representative, like myself, will provide answers.

By centralising your questions here, we aim to present all the information in a clear and concise manner, making it easier for others with similar questions to find answers. To kick things off, and provide an example:

Question: I am not available to call or email the university personally. Can a friend or relative do this on my behalf?

Answer: Due to data protection laws, we cannot share general information with someone other than you, the applicant. The exception is if you have a nominated person listed on your UCAS application; they can contact us on your behalf. If you anticipate needing to inquire about a Clearing place, we strongly advise you to be available for this.

Hi 👋,

We have to agree with Maddie's points - they are great.

We just wanted to add a few of our own tips...

1) Write a list of Universities that offer the course you are interested in and there clearing hotline phone number

For example

Wrexham University Adult Nursing - 01978 293439

2) Speak to people - parents, teachers, UCAS etc - they are all here to help you.

Please drop any other suggestions below...

I Hope this helps...
