Get prepared for Clearing with Priority Clearing
What is Priority Clearing?
Results Day and the months leading up to it can feel like a lot to take in. Between exams, coursework and making important decisions about your future, it’s completely normal to feel uncertain about what comes next.
Priority Clearing is a great way to have early access to information, updates, events and so much more before Results Day.
For many students, it’s not always possible to have everything decided in advance.
