Clearing 2025 opens on Saturday 5 July.

Every year thousands of students secure their university place through Clearing.

Whether you receive different grades than expected on Results Day, or have changed your mind about your course or university, Clearing could help you find your place.

You can apply through Clearing if:

  • you haven't received any university offers - or didn't want to accept any
  • you haven't met the conditions of your offer
  • you've changed your mind about the course or university you've applied for and have declined your place
  • you're applying through UCAS after 30 June.

The Clearing process

Once you have your results, you can apply for Leeds Trinity University through Clearing in four easy steps:

  1. Check you're eligible

    Find out if you're eligible for Clearing on your UCAS Hub. If you haven't already registered with UCAS, you'll need to do this first.

  2. Browse our courses

    Take a look through our available undergraduate courses and make a note of the ones you're interested in.

  3. Call our Clearing hotline

    Call us on 0330 058 4266 with your UCAS ID, courses of interest and results to hand. If your results meet our requirements, you'll receive a verbal offer.

  4. Add Leeds Trinity as your Clearing choice

    Once you have received your verbal offer, the next step is to add us as your Clearing choice in your UCAS Hub. You'll then be able to see the live status of your application. If we have places available, we'll confirm your place. 

When your place is confirmed (congratulations!) we'll be in touch with everything you need to do next.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get accommodation if I apply through Clearing?

Once you’ve accepted your place at Leeds Trinity through UCAS Hub, our Accommodation team will email you, inviting you to book your accommodation online. If there is no availability in our halls, we'll give you the chance to join our waiting list and you'll be contacted if a room becomes available.

Alternatively, you can contact Unipol, the student housing charity in Leeds who will help you find suitable student accommodation.

What will happen to my student finance?

If you have already applied for finance but your course or university has changed through Clearing, you must update your details with Student Finance as soon as possible.

If you haven’t applied for student finance yet, it’s important that you do so as soon as possible. You don't need to wait until you've got a confirmed university place or UCAS offers to apply for student finance.

Can mature students apply through Clearing?

Of course! There are no age limits when it comes to studying at university. We welcome plenty of mature students to campus every year. If you already have your results, you can apply from Saturday 5 July when Clearing opens.

I got better results than expected – what next?

Well done! If you'd like to choose a different course or university, you can decline your place through UCAS and apply somewhere new using Clearing.
