Clearing Q&A
Clearing can be a very tiring and frustrating process, looking for the right course, calling 50 different people seeing if they have space and most of all just seeing if the university is right for you. Having gone through clearing myself I know how stressful of a time it can be and that's why posts like this one are so useful.
Each university takes clearing in a fairly similar way, but I can account for my university, The university of Staffordshire. Waking up, not hitting the goals I needed for the course I was aiming to do was a truly sad morning but luckily, I knew clearing was an option. So, what did I do:
These points may only cover a fraction of your worries but if there's anything else you're curious about for the clearing process, or maybe even for starting university life after getting your clearing offer, feel free to leave it below and I'll try my best to answer them

1.
Research similar courses – Ucas, social media and university websites
2.
Find contact information for their clearing lines
3.
Check with their teams if you have the right grades
4.
Finally, begin the process of your university life. Accommodation? New friends?
