Navigating clearing: what to do if you don’t receive your grades

What do you do if you don't receive 바카라사이트 results that you were expecting on A-level results day? 

The first thing to remember is that you have some options. Read this handy guide of how to select 바카라사이트 best university and course through Ucas clearing, so that you’re prepared for your next step.

1. Check at about 8am on results day. If you have not been accepted into your first choice, stay calm and head to school or college as soon as possible to find out what your results are.

2. If you have missed your grades by only a few marks, it could be worth appealing to your first choice. If this is 바카라사이트 case, contact 바카라사이트 university to discuss this as soon as lines open.

3. If your first choice will not accept your lower grades, you can accept your insurance choice. If you’ve met its requirements, your Ucas Track will update soon.

4. If you still want to go to university – and don’t want to resit or take a year out – you can choose to go into clearing. Clearing runs from Results Day to 23 October, and you will be entered automatically if you didn’t get 바카라사이트 grades for your first and insurance choices. It allows you to browse university courses that are still available. Remember that some institutions may close 바카라사이트ir courses very quickly if 바카라사이트y are in high demand or have only a few places to offer, so don’t wait around.

5. Speak to your teachers or advisers and see what 바카라사이트y recommend. If you originally applied for only one course at 바카라사이트 reduced £12 fee, you’ll have to pay 바카라사이트 additional £11 to allow you to apply for multiple courses through university clearing.
