Clearing application

Whether you already have your results or you're still waiting for them, you can start your application today using the same simple form.

Which best describes you?

I'm waiting for my results

Complete your application before you receive your grades and we'll review it before results day.

When your results are released, we'll be ready to process your application. If we're able to make a decision straight away, we'll automatically send you an offer. If we need any additional information, we'll contact you with the next steps. Either way, you'll have less paperwork, less waiting and one less thing to worry about on results day.

You are eligible for Clearing Fast Track if:

• You're domiciled in the UK
• You're applying through UCAS
• You're waiting for results due to be released on 13 August 2026

I already have my results

Complete the form with your qualifications and results and we'll review your application as quickly as possible.

What happens next?

Once you've submitted your application, we'll review your information and contact you about the next steps. Depending on the course you're applying for, we may need to invite you to an interview or request additional information before making a decision.
