Clearing: FUQs (Frequently Unasked Questions)

Is Clearing the last chance to go to university?
Not at all. And it shouldn’t be treated as such. Unless you find the right course at the right institution, why not take a year out and reapply for the courses and places you do like?

Once I’ve accepted an offer of a place through Clearing, can I change my mind?
Only if you haven’t parted with that wondrous Clearing Passport. That’s why you shouldn’t send copies to institutions until you are completely sure you have found what you want. Although even if you have, you could probably come up with some excuse why you can’t take up the place, but in that case, if you take another somewhere else in the same year, you may find someone official finds out and it’s just about possible to imagine them trying to mess with your funding.

Is there an official overview of the Clearing process anywhere?
Yes. For the official view on the process, take a look at the UCAS website.

Is there a guide to filling in the Clearing Passport?
Not as such but you might find some help here.

Okay, but what do these abbreviations mean? (i.e. on the exam results)
W = Winter exam
A = GCE A level
AS = GCE AS level
VA = Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education
VAS = Vocational Certificate of Education: Three Unit Award
VDA = VCE Double Award
AH = Advanced Highers
H = Highers
INT2 = Intermediate level 2
I = Irish Leaving Certificate (Higher)

And what is Clearing again?
It’s a system whereby a candidate without a place at university can be matched with a university without enough students to fill its vacancies. Clearing is a pimp.

Good day friends ,I am happy to reading in here,You can spend your life for example, beats by dr dre lady gaga monster,but what good does it do if you are suffering from poor health or you have a poor relationship with your family. On the other hand you could have a strong family relationship but feel unfulfilled because you never took the time do some of the things that would truly make you happy. The guitar is a very beautiful instrument to look at but it is not worth listening to unless it is finely tuned. I suppose that the same could be said about our lives. Take the time beats by dr dre lady gaga headphones to really explore and examine all aspects of your life and ask yourself if you are truly happy with where you are. If you discover that certain areas of your life could be enhanced or improved then set some small goals and make it happen. Take the time to fine tune your life and I think that you will be pleasantly surprised at just how wonderful life can be!monster studio beats by dr. dre monster beats by dre studio headphones monster studio beats by dr. dre
