Clearing

Clearing is your chance to snag a university spot if you haven’t locked one in yet. It takes place between July and October every year.

It’s an awesome opportunity if you didn’t meet your offer requirements or if you suddenly have a change of heart about the university or course you want to pursue.

From 5th July to 30th September, you have the opportunity to apply for a course at Cornwall University Centre through UCAS Clearing if you meet the following criteria:

• You have received all your exam results. For those taking A levels and BTEC nationals in 2024, this will be on Thursday, 15th August.
• You have experienced a change of heart since applying to UCAS and wish to explore alternative options.
• You did not meet the conditions of your offers, or your results have exceeded your expectations.
• You did not receive any offers (or none that you wanted to accept).
