Paul, Student Recruitment and Enquiries Manager in charge of Clearing at Staffordshire University, discusses how you can sort your student accommodation through Clearing:. If the course and university are right, go for it and think about accommodation later. But if you've got a few options, the availability of accommodation could be a useful way to decide where to go. Be proactive. Go to house viewings, keep ringing the accommodation providers or estate agents, get onto social media groups to find potential housemates and do your research.
The accommodation you end up in can have a major bearing on your first-year experience, so it's worth putting in the effort to find somewhere right for you. Adjustment is a way for students to swap their confirmed place for one at a different university. Unlike Clearing, there's no comprehensive list of vacancies available for those going through Adjustment, so you must call directly and make sure you have your UCAS number at hand.
Tell the admissions office you're applying through Adjustment and you're only researching course vacancies. Once you're sure of a course you want to switch to, you can verbally agree to an offer with them. If the institution wants to accept you, they'll update your UCAS Track with a new choice and send you a confirmation later. Remember to only verbally accept one offer. We strongly recommend during this stressful and busy time that you don't make hasty decisions to adjust or upgrade.
Adjustment is available from A Level results day on 10 August until 18 August , but there are exceptions. Eligible students have to register for Adjustment and will have a maximum of five calendar days to register and secure another course. However, University of Cambridge offers a very small window of opportunity with their lines open for just five hours on results day, so if you think you may get better grades than predicted check the Adjustment window for your preferred university before results day.
You only lose this place once you've confirmed you want to go elsewhere and your new university of choice adds itself to your UCAS Track. Take a look through the other Clearing FAQs and read the advice on applying. You might want to consider asking your first-choice university what you can do over the coming year to make a successful application for next year, such as volunteer work, work experience or simply better grades.
You need to be flexible, but not desperate. Make sure any course you choose is right for you. You need to be happy on the course and at the university, so don't feel under pressure to accept the first offer you get. While it's important to stay positive, you should try to be realistic — particularly if you're considering changing subjects. Make sure you carry out any more research needed.
Consider attending some open days and interviews offered by universities to Clearing applicants.
