What Happens after you accept a Clearing offer?

Accepting a university place through Clearing is an exciting moment, but what happens next?

If you’ve secured your place at UCFB through Clearing, congratulations! You’re one step closer to starting your journey towards a career in the sports industry.

From confirming your place to preparing for Welcome Week, here’s everything you can expect after accepting a Clearing offer.

1. Your place will be confirmed

Once you’ve accepted your Clearing offer, your university will confirm your place.

You’ll receive confirmation that your application has been successfully processed, giving you peace of mind that you’re officially joining your chosen course.

Be sure to keep an eye on your emails, as this is where you’ll receive important updates from UCFB.

2. Check your emails regularly

After accepting your offer, you’ll begin receiving information about your next steps.

This may include:

• Enrolment details
• Important dates and deadlines
• Student finance reminders
• Accommodation information
• Welcome Week activities
• Course-specific updates

Reading these emails carefully will help ensure you’re fully prepared before the start of term.

3. Arrange your student finance

If you haven’t already applied for student finance, don’t panic.

You can still apply after accepting your Clearing offer. While applying earlier is always recommended, many students complete their application after securing their university place through Clearing.

Make sure you complete your application as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary delays.

4. Sort your accommodation

One of the biggest questions students ask after accepting a Clearing offer is about accommodation.

If you’re planning to move away from home, you’ll want to explore your accommodation options as early as possible.

UCFB’s admissions and student support teams can help guide you through the accommodation process and answer any questions you may have.

5. Complete your enrolment

Before teaching begins, you’ll be invited to complete your enrolment.

This usually involves confirming your personal details and completing any remaining administrative steps required before you become a registered student.

You’ll receive clear instructions on what you need to do and when.

6. Get to know your new university

Now’s the perfect time to explore everything your university has to offer.

You could:

• Learn more about your course.
• Join student social media groups.
• Find out about clubs and societies.
• Explore your campus.
• Connect with future classmates.

Starting university is much easier when you’ve already begun to familiarise yourself with your new environment.

7. Prepare for Welcome Week

Welcome Week is your opportunity to settle into university life before your studies begin.

You’ll have the chance to:

• Meet fellow students.
• Get to know your lecturers.
• Explore campus facilities.
• Attend introductory sessions.
• Learn about the support services available.

It’s also a great opportunity to start building friendships before classes begin.
