A Level Results Day Leeds 2022: what is clearing, grade boundaries - UCAS codes and Clearing hotlines

A-Level results day is just around the corner for students in Leeds as they ready themselves to find out whether they have earned themselves a place in their preferred university.

In what is traditionally a stress-filled day, the worst case scenario for any student is that they do not get good enough grades to qualify for their firm choice.

However, it is not the be all and end all of their academic journey, with most universities throughout the United Kingdom offering students opportunities through Clearing.

Yorkshire Evening Post has you covered with everything you need to know about the Clearing policy of three of Leeds’ main universities, as well as the confirmed A-Level grade boundaries.

What is Clearing and when can I start applying for universities in Leeds?

Clearing is a way for UK universities and colleges to fill any places that are still available on any of its courses.

According to UCAS, you could start applying for courses on Clearing from Tuesday, 5 July 2022.

Please bear in mind that you can only go through Clearing if you are not already holding an offer from a university or college, and the course must have places.

The deadline for applying through clearing is Tuesday, 18 October 2022.

How can I apply for Leeds universities through Clearing?

If you have made a UCAS application this academic year, you can use your UCAS personal ID to log in to UCAS.

If you are yet to receive any offers, or for whatever reason have not met the conditions of your offer, you will automatically be entered into Clearing.

You will find your Clearing number on the UCAS homepage.

If you’re holding a firm unconditional place, you might also choose to release yourself into Clearing through UCAS by using the ‘decline your place’ option.

If you have not made a UCAS application this year, you will first need to register on UCAS and submit an application before you can add a Clearing choice.

When you have found a course you’d like to apply to, make sure you get in touch with the university before adding a Clearing choice in UCAS.

Once you have a verbal offer that you are happy with, add this in UCAS to confirm that you are formally accepting the offer.
