Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

It is common for applicants to have a lot of questions during the Clearing period and if you don’t know what you’re doing, the process can often seem overwhelming.

That’s why LCCA are here to help! Have a look at the list of frequently asked questions below and if you can’t find what you’re looking for – don’t hesitate to get in touch. At LCCA we are always happy to support you.

Q. I DIDN’T GET THE RESULTS I NEEDED, WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

A. Firstly, don’t worry. You can keep track of your applications and find out whether you’ve been offered a place on your chosen course via UCAS Track.
If you are offered a place, now is the time to celebrate! Joining instructions will be sent to you via email and you can begin the enrolment process.

However, if you are not offered a place, there may still be some options available. Get in contact with at +44 (0)20 3435 4642 or email clearing@lcca.org.uk to discuss your options. Our team are always happy to offer guidance and support and we may even be able to make you a verbal offer at this point.

After your phone call, check UCAS Track and refer yourself to LCCA through UCAS Track by adding us as your choice. The dropdown menu that allows you to do this will be available on the site from 3pm onwards on results day. Keep checking UCAS Track for the status of our offer; please note that it may take some time for this to change to ‘confirmed’.

Joining instructions will then be sent to you via email and you can begin your LCCA journey!

Don’t forget to contact student finance and let them know right away that your institution has changed.
