This year, we’re giving applicants more control over their applications.
Instead of having to contact their chosen university or college and wait to be released into Clearing, applicants can now do this themselves – saving valuable time. Online self-release will be available in Track to all placed applicants, from 5 July 2019.
How will online self-release into Clearing work?
The process is simple, but incorporates a number of warnings to make sure applicants fully understand what they are doing.
- The applicant signs in to Track, and clicks the ‘Decline my place’ button on their homepage.
- They will be taken to a page which explains what they’re about to do, and a drop-down question which they must complete, before confirming.
- They will then receive an email to confirm they’re in Clearing, and advising them to phone the university or college they declined, if they made a mistake.
