An update on Clearing Plus

Brand new last year, Clearing Plus matches applicants with relevant courses, dependent on achieved qualifications and POLAR/SIMD.

Posted Wed 19 May 2021

Last year, 218 providers used the service and nearly 30% of applicants who registered their interest at a provider were placed.

Following your feedback, we have made several enhancements for this summer, including:

  • the ability to add course criteria in bulk - reducing the manual effort required.
  • the ability to apply multiple sets of criteria to courses, including different widening participation (WP) and widening access (WA) categories, to enable contextualized admissions and improve targeting.
  • the introduction of UCAS Tariff points as criteria for courses – improving targeting.
  • automatically showing which interested applicants in Clearing Plus have since been placed.

Several new columns have been added to the csv download file which you will need to take into account if you import this data into your own system. You can view an example here.
