Clearing advice for parents and supporters
Support your young person through Clearing
If you’re a parent, guardian or supporter looking to support your young person’s application through Clearing, we have a number of resources available for you.
It’s important to make sure that your young person is making the right decision – and we’re here to support both you and them through the application process.
If the young person you’re supporting has received an offer through Clearing, then check out our useful guide on the next steps.
Search courses in Clearing
We publish a list of all courses in Clearing. If your young person finds a course that they’re interested in, ask them to call us on 03330 432 414 or contact us via live chat, and we’ll discuss the options with them. If they have their results and meet our criteria, we should be able to offer a place there and then.
There is also the possibility of taking an integrated foundation year which we offer within some of our degrees. This is a good option if the student hasn’t met the entry requirements for a certain course, enabling them to develop their communication and study skills while gaining a helpful introduction to their subject area.
Can I discuss my young person’s application with you?
We’re not able to speak to you regarding your young person’s application unless they have nominated you on their UCAS form, or have provided us with permission to discuss this with you.
We can, however, answer any general queries you may have about university, the application process or Clearing and we’d be more than happy to discuss these with you.

Student finance
It’s not too late to apply for student finance if your young person is applying to university through Clearing. If an application has already been submitted, it’s important to make sure you update this as soon as possible to ensure that the information is correct.
If your young person has not yet applied for student finance, there is still time! It’s important to make sure that you submit an application as soon as possible in order to receive the student loan when the course starts in September.
Get in touch with our money advice team if you have any specific questions regarding student finance.
“I decided to go through Clearing as I was unsure what I wanted to do at the time. What I found helpful is that the university have good ties with almost all of the local landlords in the area making it easier to find houses if halls are full. I also liked that they rang me often while I was trying to find a house, just to update me – it helped make the whole process less stressful.”
