• First of all, remember that we are here in school on results day to help and offer advice so please come and talk to someone on results morning if you need support. There is also some guidance that UCAS has published to support you through the process that you can read through and you can also access the letter to students from Ofqual and UCAS.
• If students have just missed out on the grades they need, you should contact the admissions team at your preferred university, as they may still be able to offer you a place.
• Access the UCAS clearing service which can help you find courses that have availability. The UCAS clearing plus service will match courses for you based upon your grades and your previous choices so can help you to identify the right course for you more easily.
• There are already nearly 30,000 courses available in clearing this year (2022). This means that there will be plenty of high-quality choices available to students who have not yet secured a place at university, or who want to explore alternative options.

In previous years, you would have used the Adjustment option but this is no longer available. Instead, if your results are better than expected and you now want to change universities and are, if you are holding a firm unconditional place, you can release yourself into clearing, using the ‘decline your place’ button in your application.

• Again, remember we are here on results morning, so please do come into school to talk to someone if you need to.
• The National Careers Service can advise anyone who needs information regarding their options and possible next steps and you can find their information for students receving their exam results here at their ‘Get the Jump’ hub.
