You'll need to gain permission from a university before you can add the course to Track. Once you've received a verbal offer, it's been added in Track and confirmed by the university, your place is guaranteed. As well as searching for suitable courses through the UCAS search facility, you can also take advantage of its new Clearing Plus tool, which has been designed to match you with your ideal course using information from your application and what universities are looking for in candidates.

If you haven't got a place at university or have started a new application, you'll see a 'My matches' button in Track. This takes you to your top 50 course matches. From the list, you can approach universities offering courses you're interested in. They may then contact you if they still have vacancies and you meet their entry requirements. Any places on courses that universities haven't managed to fill can be found via the UCAS search tool - where you can browse vacancies according to subject, location or university.

To apply, fill out your details as normal including your university personal statement. Once submitted, you'll be invited to use the Track service and be given a Clearing number. From there, you'll need to follow the steps and look for a place. You'll need to give the university your Clearing number and personal ID, so they can view your online application.

Verbal offers are usually made over the phone, and you should only accept one. Remember, you'll only be able to add one choice at a time. If the university doesn't confirm the offer, you can look again and add another. If you've previously registered for Track and your results have updated, you're ready to use Clearing when your status changes to either 'You are in Clearing' or 'Clearing has started'.

Only once you've been granted permission by your chosen university should you add a Clearing choice. The university will then confirm your place in Track. If you accept an offer through Clearing or Adjustment, you need to make sure you get your student loan.
