Check Your Eligibility for Clearing
Before you can start thinking about adding your Clearing choices to UCAS, you need to check whether you’re eligible for the process.

Additionally, Clearing is also open to students who have applied late and haven’t yet secured a place at a university.

Research Available Courses
Once you’ve confirmed your eligibility for Clearing, it’s time to start researching the courses that are available to you. UCAS publishes a list of available courses on its website, and universities allow you to search their Clearing vacancies on their websites. You can also get in touch with universities directly to ask about the courses they have available.
Add Your Clearing Choices to UCAS
Once you’ve identified the courses you’re interested in, you need to add them to your UCAS application. To do this, log in to your UCAS Track account and click on the “Add Clearing Choice” button. You’ll then need to enter the details of the course you’re interested in, including the course code and the name of the university.
Add Your Predicted Grades
Adding your predicted grades to UCAS is a straightforward process. Log in to your UCAS Track account and navigate to the “Choices” section. Here, you can enter your predicted grades for each of your qualifications. You’ll also need to upload a reference from your teacher or tutor to support your application.
Submit Your Application
Once you’ve added your Clearing choices and predicted grades to UCAS, it’s time to submit your application. Double-check that all the information you’ve entered is correct and that you’ve included all the necessary details. Once you’re happy with your application, click the “Submit” button.
Wait for a Decision
After you’ve submitted your application, you’ll need to wait for a decision from the universities you’ve applied to. This may take a few days, so be patient. Once you’ve received an offer, you’ll need to respond to it within the specified deadline.
