Helping a student apply through Clearing
Your guide to helping a student to navigate Clearing – as a parent, guardian, family member, teacher, school counsellor or education agent.
Applying through Clearing can be a stressful, confusing or upsetting experience for many students, and may mean rethinking their study plans. Support and guidance from their family or education professionals can help them get though the process and make a bright start to their university life.
To help you support the student in your life as best you can, we're holding two online information sessions that outline what Clearing is, what you need to prepare for and why we think Nottingham is the right choice for them.
Helpers of international students:
Tuesday 16 July at 10-11am (UK time)
Helpers of UK students:
Thursday 8 August 5-6pm (UK time)
Clearing applications should usually be made by the students themselves rather than parents, agents or other persons. Under UCAS policies and data protection rules, we can only discuss your child's or student's application if you are a nominated contact in their UCAS application. See our privacy policy.
Clearing vacancies are now available for anyone who has their final results. You can view available courses and apply below.
If your student hasn't received their final results yet you can sign up for alerts. We'll let you know when vacancies are live and give you more information about studying at the University of Nottingham.
Applications for Clearing are now open for any students who have recieved their final results.
Check our list of Clearing vacancies and filter by 'UK' or 'international' (overseas) courses, as places in Clearing are limited and not all courses will be available to both groups.
If you're unsure of your fee status, check the guidance with UKCISA. Follow the links below for contact details and how to apply.
Students still waiting for A level results or other qualifications to be confirmed must receive their final results before they apply. Courses available after A level results day (15 August) may differ from the courses currently available in Clearing.
