00:00:07.815 --> 00:00:08.785
What is clearing?

2
00:00:10.735 --> 00:00:11.785
ucas Clearing is a part

3
00:00:11.785 --> 00:00:14.865
of the university application process, which allows you

4
00:00:14.865 --> 00:00:17.625
to consider applying for a course at a different university.

5
00:00:18.605 --> 00:00:20.745
UK and international students are all eligible

6
00:00:20.745 --> 00:00:23.465
to participate in clearing once they have received

7
00:00:23.465 --> 00:00:24.545
their final results.

8
00:00:25.715 --> 00:00:28.105
While many people think clearing is just for students

9
00:00:28.165 --> 00:00:31.385
who achieved lower grades than expected, it can also be

10
00:00:31.405 --> 00:00:34.705
for people who simply change their mind about their course,

11
00:00:35.085 --> 00:00:37.585
the university they want to study at, or both.

12
00:00:38.605 --> 00:00:42.185
How does it work? Once you have your exam results,

13
00:00:42.245 --> 00:00:44.785
you'll be able to check to see if you have qualified

14
00:00:44.785 --> 00:00:47.825
for your firm or insurance choice course via ucas.

15
00:00:48.365 --> 00:00:49.825
If you have not met the requirements

16
00:00:50.245 --> 00:00:51.505
or if you've changed your mind

17
00:00:51.505 --> 00:00:54.065
and want to explore other options, you'll be able

18
00:00:54.065 --> 00:00:56.985
to contact universities to apply for an alternative course.

19
00:00:57.725 --> 00:00:59.665
How can I find a course through Clearing

20
00:01:01.465 --> 00:01:03.665
universities which have courses with places

21
00:01:03.725 --> 00:01:06.505
to fill will list these on the ucas Clearing website.

22
00:01:07.045 --> 00:01:09.745
You can apply for any course in clearing as long

23
00:01:09.745 --> 00:01:11.225
as you meet the entry requirements.

24
00:01:11.865 --> 00:01:14.785
Universities will sometimes lower their entry requirements

25
00:01:14.785 --> 00:01:16.585
during clearing, but not always.

26
00:01:17.085 --> 00:01:20.385
So make sure you check the individual course requirements on

27
00:01:20.385 --> 00:01:22.265
each university's own website.

28
00:01:23.935 --> 00:01:26.385
Once you have contacted your chosen university

29
00:01:26.645 --> 00:01:28.425
and been offered a place through Clearing,

30
00:01:28.685 --> 00:01:30.945
you can add the choice to your UCAS application.

31
00:01:31.645 --> 00:01:33.865
The university will complete some final checks

32
00:01:33.925 --> 00:01:36.105
to ensure the information you provided is accurate

33
00:01:36.565 --> 00:01:37.705
and confirm the offer.

34
00:01:38.455 --> 00:01:40.025
Your place is then guaranteed.

00:01:41.485 --> 00:01:43.305
