Clearing 2015 update
As part of Clearing 2015, we’re launching an additional service to applicants – designed to help those who find themselves without a university or HE college place on A level results day.
It will allow universities and colleges to make direct contact with unplaced students once they have their results, to discuss a place on a relevant course with them.
- The aim is to help UK-domiciled applicants secure a place more quickly,
- The service is entirely optional.
- Applicants who sign up can still go through Clearing in the same way as previous years – if they want to.
- Applicants don’t have to accept any offers they may receive, and should consider all options before committing to a place.
- We'll ensure protocols and guidelines for contacting applicants are clear.
- Each applicant will be approached by a maximum of five universities or colleges.
- All eligible applicants have received an email invitation with the option to sign up to this free service.
- If applicants who have signed up fulfil their offer conditions and receive a confirmed place on results day, their name will be removed from the service and they won’t be contacted.
Each applicant will be provided with a code word. This can be used to confirm the person calling them is authorised to do so. If the applicant has lost this, they should ask for a contact name and call them back using the university's main Clearing number, which will be publicised on their website.
