How to apply through Clearing

How will I find out if I've been offered a place?

We will aim to be back in touch via email within 2 working days of receiving your application. It’s really important to ensure you give us the best email address to contact you on. Check your emails regularly as we may contact you if we need more information before making a decision, or to let you know an interview is required before an offer can be made.

How do I accept an offer?

Fingers crossed we can offer you a place – wahoo! If that’s the case, all the information about what you need to do if you receive a Clearing offer and the next steps will be sent to you via email. If you have applied through UCAS, you’ll need to log in to your UCAS Hub and add Essex as your Clearing choice. This is how:

1. Log into UCAS Hub.
2. Find the ‘add Clearing choice’ button.
3. Enter Essex’s institution code – E70
4. Enter the four character course code shown in your confirmation email from us.
5. Celebrate your newfound future at Essex with your favourite dinner!

You can only add one Clearing choice at a time though, so don’t add us until we’ve emailed you confirming that we can make you a Clearing offer.

And if you’re not already in UCAS, no problem! We’ll let you know in your confirmation email what to do next and how to accept your offer.
