Clearing 2026

Clearing is Open!

Clearing is open to anyone not already holding an offer from a university or college, and where courses still have available spaces. It is also for those who are holding an offer but have changed their minds about their course or university, and for students who miss out on the grades required for their firm and insurance choices.

Clearing runs from July until the end of September, you don’t need to wait for A Level results day to apply!
