If you have a question:

Hello everyone and welcome to UCAS Clearing 2014!


For the moment, it's going to feel like everything is up in the air until results day. It is fast approaching but hopefully the excitement is outweighing the nerves. This time of year can be very stressful and as difficult as it may be try not to panic. Here in the Clearing office there are lots of people that can help. You can contact us either by email (courseinfo@gre.ac.uk), by telephone (0208 331 9000) or by Live Chat (which can be found via our website).


My top tips for those that have questions:

1. Don't be afraid to ask a question - We will always try our very best to answer any questions that you may have no matter how silly or strange you may think they are.

2. Basics of the email - When emailing us with a query, it is always handy to include your full name and Banner ID/UCAS or Applicant number as it means that we can hopefully deal with your query more effectively.

3. Questions about courses - It always helps to state the specific course that you are interested in when emailing us. By doing this, it means that we can provide you with as much information as possible to help deal with the query.

4. Bombarding us with emails - Please don't feel that you are constantly bothering us, we are more than willing to answer, so email away!


It's important that you remember not to panic! Think of Clearing as a new or alternative opportunity because, in essence that's essentially what it is. It gives you the opportunity to still go to University even if you didn't get the grades that you thought you were going to get. You can always pick something similar to what you wanted  to do (but not the same course) or choose to do something completely different, it's entirely up to you. I know what it's like as I, myself came to the University of Greenwich through Clearing. I chose to do something similar rather than something new as I wanted to try and stick to my original path. As difficult of a process it may be to have to go through, try to stay calm as you will get through this!

My fingers and toes are crossed. Good luck on results day!!
