Meet Our Main Characters: Scarlet
Although Scarlet has always been an extrovert, since starting at the University of Greenwich she has gained the confidence to pursue her passions, without caring what other people think. A 2nd year student in Creative Advertising and Art Direction, Scarlet is also passionate about theatre and involved in the drama society. The University of Greenwich has given her the freedom to spend time doing what she loves, whilst still moving forward. Scarlet came to the University of Greenwich through Clearing and remembers feeling supported every step of the way by our Clearing advisers.

What is Clearing?
UCAS Clearing is how universities advertise courses that still have spaces. If you don’t have a university place yet, this gives you a chance to find and apply for a course. The Clearing process runs from 5 July until September 2024
There are many reasons you may be applying through Clearing. It could be that you didn’t meet the conditions of your offer, haven’t received any offers or have rejected your offers. Maybe you’ve changed your mind about where you want to study or have found a course that you prefer. Whatever the reason, you can apply through Clearing if you’re not holding an offer.
When Clearing opens on 5 July, you can look for university courses that have vacancies. If you already have your exam results, you can apply for a place through Clearing as soon as it opens. If you don’t have your results yet, you need to wait until you receive them before making an application through Clearing.
Check out our comprehensive guide. It has everything there is to know about Clearing and how to prepare yourself so that you can make the most of it.
