Tips on how you can support someone
If you’re a parent, carer or friend, here are some useful tips on how you can help:
Stay calm and positive – clearing can be stressful for students and your support matters
Research together – explore courses and entry requirements
Encourage action – help them feel confident to call universities
Keep track of deadlines – and celebrate every step forward
Clearing isn’t a setback—it’s a fresh opportunity.
Understanding Clearing
Clearing is an opportunity for students to secure a place at university if their initial plans don’t unfold as expected. It’s not a setback; rather, it’s a whole new world of possibilities.
Be a calming presence
Clearing can make students feel a bit stressed or uncertain. This is where you come in!
Your calm and steady support can be the anchor they need. Keep the conversation flowing and remind them that it’s okay to feel a bit unsure—it’s all part of the journey.
