UAL foundation / reapplying uni for next year

Is it possible for the UAL foundation course to go through clearing?

I was planning on applying as an extra option but when the deadline got closer i discarded it and though i was going to be okay with my 5 choices. Now ended up with one option left due to withdrawing or being withdrawn. (can't go into much detail as i didn't want this too be too long, but nothing related to quality of portfolio)
A month later after application deadline i'm now regretting not applying.

I know i can apply for other unis through clearing but i don't really have other unis i'm interested in, only one other course but may be too risky to apply as this might be my only option.

If i reapply for unis next year, how does the process of remaking a portfolio go?

I'm worried i might end up with reapplying for university next year as i don't know how the process of making the portfolio from home will go, as in the next year i won't be able to have the access or feedback i would've had this year with being college. i looked up portfolio workshops but i can't afford it and i've been looking up advice but nothing helpful.

Have you looked into other providers of a Foundation Diploma (FAD)?
Most people study a FAD at their local college.

I would still apply to your Foundation course if they are still accepting applications. They may have a waiting list as there are always people who don't take their places for various reasons. There are a number of private online tutors who could help with developing your portfolio. What's important is that you don't just apply with the same portfolio for Uni next year, they will expect your work to have progressed and for there to be recent work in your folio. Hope this helps.
