What is university Clearing

UCAS Clearing is the period during summer when universities advertise remaining places on undergraduate courses.

You can apply for a Clearing place if you want to study at university, but are not holding a place and/or have not met the conditions of your offers. Find out what to do if you don't get the results you need.

You can contact universities to try and secure a Clearing offer. You need all your exam results before you can enter Clearing.

Who can apply?

You can use Clearing if you:

are registered with UCAS ()
are not holding any offers
have all your examination results.

You are automatically entered into Clearing if you apply late for your course (after 30 June).

If you’ve been accepted at another university but want to come to Sussex, you can call our Clearing team to discuss your options.

If you applied for a course at Sussex and were unsuccessful, but you now meet the entry requirements for your chosen course, you can also apply through Clearing.

When does Clearing open?

Clearing starts in July for those applicants who have all their results.

All the courses in Clearing are listed on our website from July.

In the meantime, you can get an idea of the type of courses we offer on our undergraduate course pages.
