How do I apply through Clearing?

Applying through Clearing is usually a straightforward process. Once you've found a course you're interested in, you'll need to contact the university, discuss your qualifications and circumstances, and receive an offer before adding your chosen course in UCAS. At the University of Hull, our Clearing team can guide you through each step and answer any questions you may have along the way.

How does the Clearing application process work?

While the exact process may vary depending on your circumstances, applying through Clearing typically involves the following steps:

1. Explore your options

Start by researching universities and courses that interest you. Think about factors such as course content, career opportunities, accommodation, location and student life.

If you're considering the University of Hull, you can use our course search to view available Clearing courses and learn more about studying with us.

2. Have your information ready

Before contacting a university, it's helpful to have:

• Your UCAS ID (if you have one)
• Your exam results and qualifications
• Details of any existing offers
• A list of courses you're interested in
• Contact information

Having this information available can help make the conversation quicker and easier.

3. Contact the university

Once you've identified a course you're interested in, contact the university directly.

At the University of Hull, our Clearing advisers can discuss:

• Course availability
• Entry requirements
• Your qualifications
• Alternative course options
• Accommodation and student support

This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you may have about studying at Hull.

4. Receive an offer

If the university can offer you a place, you'll receive instructions on what to do next.

In some cases, universities may ask for additional information or documents before deciding.

5. Accept your place

Once you're ready to proceed, you'll need to add your chosen Clearing course through UCAS and follow the steps provided to confirm your place.

After your place is confirmed, you'll be able to move on to the next stages of your university journey, such as applying for accommodation, arranging student finance and preparing for enrolment.

Can I apply to more than one university through Clearing?

Yes. Many students explore multiple options before deciding where they would like to study.

Speaking to more than one university can help you compare courses, locations, accommodation and support services before making your final decision.

However, you can only accept one Clearing offer through UCAS, so it's important to consider your options carefully before confirming your place.
