Checked against official sources on 25 September 2026.

Am I in Clearing?

This checker needs JavaScript. In short: you are in Clearing if you apply after 30 June, have no offers, missed your offer conditions and neither your firm nor insurance choice accepted you, or you used Decline my place. Your UCAS Hub will say “You are in Clearing”.

How to tell from your UCAS Hub

If your Hub says “You are in Clearing” or “Clearing has started”, you are in Clearing. Your Clearing number appears under “Application status”. If your offers are still conditional, you are not in Clearing until both your firm and insurance choices have decided. See who can use Clearing.
