What should I have ready for Clearing?
If your exams have been awarded by AQA, OCR, Pearson, SQA, WJEC/CBAC, City & Guilds, CEA or NCFE then it is likely we will be able to view your results when you refer your application. If needed, we’ll contact you to provide evidence of your qualifications and explain any next steps.

Can I still get student finance if I apply through Clearing?

Will I be able to get accommodation?
