<p>Once your young person has decided they would like to apply through Clearing, they can fill out this super speedy form, and we'll contact them to discuss their options.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/clearing">Clearing</a> is a process that matches applicants with universities and colleges that have places yet to be filled. It runs from <strong>5 July to 18 October, </strong>so there is plenty of time to make an application to study with us during Clearing. Clearing presents an opportunity for applicants who have: </p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">changed their minds about their original UCAS choice, </p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">declined their offers, </p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">not received the grades they expected, </p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">or made a last minute decision to start studying this autumn.</p></li></ul>

<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/clearing">Clearing</a> is an increasingly popular way for students to find their perfect course at University. So how can you help?</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Encourage and help your young person to research courses and University options. We have <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate">14 diverse undergraduate courses </a>to choose from!</p></li></ul><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Keep calm and talk them through their options.

We even have a <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/events">Parent, Guardian &amp; Supporter Advice session</a>, if you have any questions yourself.</p></li></ul><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Make sure your young person has their UCAS number, grades and qualifications to hand and any questions they have about the course they’re interested in when they contact us.</p></li></ul><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Then they can call our Clearing Hotline <strong>+44 (0) 1752 203402</strong> or <a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=447722744184&amp;text=&amp;source=&amp;data=">Whatsapp 07722 744184</a> and our Admissions teams will help them with their next steps.</p></li></ul><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Remember, you can't make the call for them, an applicant has to contact us themselves.
