What is University Clearing?
Clearing is an opportunity for undergraduate applicants, who have
missed their offer conditions, or changed their mind at the last minute
about the university or course they want to study, to explore other
available options. Clearing at Surrey matches applicants to our courses
that still have availability. It’s open to undergraduate UCAS
applicants, who:haven’t received any offers yet or don’t want to accept offers received haven’t met the conditions of their offer applicants who declined their firm place on the UCAS application applicants
who have had a last-minute change of heart about their university or
their course and would like to explore other options
If your students have not made a UCAS application this year, you can support them by helping them register on the UCAS website.
Also, check out Surrey’s Clearing pages. |

When does Clearing start at Surrey?

What is the difference between ‘Clearing’ and ‘Clearing Plus’?

Results Day
Our Admissions team will process results as quickly as possible, and we
recommend your offer holders check their UCAS Hub to see any updates on
their application.
If students have firmly accepted their
conditional offer but have not satisfied the exact conditions, we will
review their offer, and the performance of others seeking entry onto the
same course.
Please send results to admissions@surrey.ac.uk or email international@surrey.ac.uk. Our regional teams are here to help. |

What
if some of our students do not meet the entry requirements for direct
entry to Surrey through Clearing. What are their options?
Your applicants may wish to consider joining Surrey International Study Centre,
located on our Stag Hill campus, to study a foundation course
(pre-degree programme), offered through our strategic partner, Study
Group.
Students joining Surrey ISC have guaranteed progression
to University of Surrey, if they successfully complete their foundation
programme and achieve the required progression grades.
