Clearing Hub

Welcome to the Clearing Hub for Teachers and Advisers

This dedicated hub is designed to support you as you guide students through the Clearing process. Here, you’ll find up-to-date information about Clearing, including details about our partner universities

What is Clearing?

Clearing gives students an opportunity to find a place at university; this could be because they achieved better results than expected, they missed out on their required grades, or they’ve changed their mind. 

Clearing 2025 opens on 5 July. The last date for adding any Clearing choices is 20 October 2025.

Preparing for Clearing - Activity for Students

Clearing provides an opportunity to students to find a place at university; this could be because they achieved better results than expected, they missed out on their required grades, or they've changed their mind. This experience can be stressful, but the right preparation can help students to understand what to expect, and feel assured ahead of Results Day.

Use these activity sheets with your students when thinking about Results Day and Clearing. The activities will support them in planning for all eventualities, and help them to feel confident on the day.
