Helping your young person

Results Day and Clearing can be some of the most exciting and stressful aspects of the university journey for both you and the young person in your care. 

We can help you and your young person work together to gather resources and create a plan.

Your help and support as a parent or carer, whether they are beginning to choose courses and universities, or preparing for graduation, is a valuable way to encourage them.

What is Clearing? 

Clearing allows unplaced students, or those who have not yet applied, to find a place at university. 

It offers prospective students the chance to think about their options, change their minds or have a fresh start.

Clearing key dates

Clearing takes place between 5 July and 21 October.

Results Day for the majority of qualifications (A level, T level and BTEC) takes place in mid-August. This is always the busiest day of Clearing, with large numbers of students searching for university places. 

Supporting your young person

We're here to help you support your young person before, during and after the Clearing process, by providing timely resources as they: 

  • choose courses and universities
  • research their financial options
  • explore where to live
  • prepare for Results Day and the Clearing process 

Remember, it's ultimately their decision, but being their sounding board can help them gain confidence in their choices.

Get prepared for Clearing 

Clearing opens on 5 July. 

Here's some information to help you and your young person start your research and get ahead of the game.
