We can't wait to welcome all of our new students this September. To help you secure your place through Clearing, follow our step-by-step guide.
Clearing if now open and you can view which of our courses have spaces through Clearing on UCAS and on our website. Take note of important information such as entry requirements and course content. In Clearing, we can often make offers to students who don't fully meet our published entry requirements – just call us to check.
If you have your results, you don't need to wait until A Level Results Day to apply to us in Clearing - you can apply now. During Clearing, contact us to find out if we can make you an offer, and you can often get a decision straight away. Have your UCAS account, Clearing number, Personal ID, course name, and grades to hand.
Once you've received an offer from us, simply add us as a choice on UCAS. Remember, spaces at Clearing are given on a first-come, first-served basis.
Visiting us in person is the best way to find out what the University of Lincoln is really like. You can do this at our Open House events in August or join us at our summer Open Days in July.
You don't need a confirmed place to apply for student finance. If you are intending to apply to us then simply put us down as your preferred university choice. Your funding can help cover expenses such as accommodation, tuition fees, and living costs.
We guarantee all new undergraduate students who apply for accommodation by 31 August 2025 a room in a University-managed residence. Our range of modern residences place you in the heart of the city, and only a short walk from your lectures and the high street.
If you’ve accepted a firm choice university already via UCAS you can “self release” into Clearing after you’ve got your results and your firm choice confirms your place. You’ll need to talk to the university where you’ve accepted an offer to ask them to “release” you.
Yes, you can apply to us in Clearing even if you didn’t apply to universities during the main UCAS cycle. If you’ve got your qualifications already, we can help you complete the application now. If you’re waiting for exam results, we can make provisional offers based on predicted grades.
Not at all. Our Unibuddy community is a great way to make friends before you arrive at university. You can join communities based on your chosen course, accommodation, or interests like sports, music, or hobbies.
Absolutely! We’re very proud of our award-winning student accommodation at the University of Lincoln. Our Accommodation Guarantee means that applicants who apply for accommodation with us by 31 August 2025 are guaranteed a room in a University-managed student residence.
No. About one in seven students enrol through clearing and it has no bearing on your experience as a student. It’s simply another admissions route beyond the “main cycle” UCAS process.
Yes, we can be more flexible on entry requirements during Clearing so it’s well worth calling our Clearing Hotline to see if we can make you an offer. It’s a good idea to act quickly since course vacancies can fill up fast. Our advisors can also discuss alternative entry routes available, such as our foundation year programmes, which provide more opportunities for students who might not otherwise meet standard entry requirements.
