Secure your place with priority clearing

Clearing is your chance to find a course and start university this September. Most people apply through clearing because they didn't get their predicted grades or they had a change of heart about going to university.

You can also apply through clearing if:

• you have predicted grades but haven't received your results yet
• you’ve already accepted a place at another university or want to change courses at Sheffield Hallam
• you missed the UCAS deadline and haven’t already applied.

Priority clearing is a way you can guarantee your place at Sheffield Hallam University before results day* – apply now to secure your place at Sheffield Hallam University in advance.

Priority clearing applicants also get access to exclusive benefits, including a dedicated phone number for results day and entry into a competition to win one of five career starter packs worth £1,500.

*eligibility criteria apply.

Degree courses are available from 72 UCAS points and foundation years from 40 points. Call us on 0330 024 6390 to check your options and apply, or get started with our online form.

You can apply through priority clearing from 2 July to 11 August at 3pm. You can apply through clearing from 7am on 13 August.

Call our clearing line on 0330 024 6390.

See phoneline opening times or start your application using our online form.

When you call up, you’ll need a full list of your results, including your GCSE grades.

If you’ve already applied through UCAS, it’s also good to have your UCAS Personal ID number if you're registered with UCAS or your Sheffield Hallam student ID. This is an 8-digit number you can find on emails or letters sent to you by our admissions team.

If we make you an offer, we’ll email you the details, so make sure you use an email address you can check regularly.

You’re guaranteed an offer of a place to live, but it's a good idea to think about your accommodation once you've secured a place through clearing or priority clearing. The accommodation line can be reached by calling the clearing line on 0330 024 6390 and selecting option 3 when our phonelines are open.
