Clearing Plus
Clearing Plus matches students to their most suited Clearing courses. It's your chance to stand out, cutting through the noise - and it's all available as part of your capitation fee.
What is Clearing Plus?
Clearing is the key that thousands of students use to find their future, as well as being a vital recruitment tool for providers.
With record numbers of applicants now using UCAS systems, it’s an exciting, bustling, energetic, and busy place to be. Wouldn’t you like to be heard above the noise?
Clearing Plus lets you do just that, ensuring you are ready to stand out during key moments across the Clearing period.
Match students to their most suited courses
Clearing Plus presents unplaced students with a personalised list of course options marched to their circumstances and interests. As a provider, you can add your courses and select criteria to target certain students, completely free of charge.
And if you’d like to boost the most important subjects and stand out in the listings – with logos, taglines, and more real estate – we have enhanced listings and advertising options available too.
Over 70% of students who registered with enhanced providers in Clearing Plus later placed at one of those providers

Full control of your listings via your dashboard
You can start setting up your courses via the easy interface from mid-June, and add enhanced listings features such as logos and taglines directly in the dashboard so you can get ahead of the competition.
Your listing will go live as soon as Clearing does, which is when you’ll also get access to interested applicants to build your database.
And if you'd like to explore display advertising options such as skyscraper and banner placements, we’ll help you choose the right place and time to run them.
