If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

Will Withdrawing my UCAS Application allow me to start clearing?

I got my results, my firm said no after the results and and I got a great clearing offer from Swansea. However I cannot add them as I don't have the option to add clearing courses as my Insurance Choice, Strathclyde, has not made a decision yet.
So will Pressing on the Withdraw option on the UCAS Hub allow me to add Clearing Courses?

Withdrawing usually removes you from the entire application cycle. So no option for clearing.

You need to follow this up with Strathclyde and ask them to reject you if you no longer want to be considered.

As above - dont Withdraw,
Once Strathclyde have rejected you (if thats what you want) then you can enter Clearing.

Hi JustCallMeKaz

As Admit-One and McGinger have said it would be best to call Strathclyde and discuss with them about what is happening with your offer. The best option would be to call either the Admissions office, or perhaps even their Clearing Helpline as they would be able to patch you through to the relevant person.

If you have decided you would rather go to Swansea University then ask them to place you back into the pool so you can proceed with the offer at Swansea. Then it would be best to call the Swansea University Clearing Helpline the number can be found at, https://www.swansea.ac.uk/clearing/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=117633_clearing_2024&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2ou2BhCCARIsANAwM2Fvy1tLejzv375OAT13JNn17OQEwNTt6UHZBnv_zbTenLoqNkA7XukaAgcGEALw_wcB.
They can then help you get fully sorted at Swansea.

Hope this helps,
