Submitting your Clearing application
Apply through Clearing if you have not submitted your application to study on a degree-level course at Burnley College University Courses. You should apply to us directly using the application form below. This form should then be submitted to [email protected]
Clearing is the process used by universities to fill remaining places they may have on their degree-level courses which are due to start in the autumn. It is often used by College and Sixth Form students when they make a final decision on their progression route after receiving their A Level or Advanced Vocational results and is also open to those returning to education who choose to apply for a place at university later in the academic year (outside the normal application dates).

However, whatever route you choose, we will work closely with you as an individual to ensure that you have access to the very best advice and guidance on accessing financial support to which you may be eligible, according to your personal circumstances.

We understand that navigating the world of Student Finance while managing your work and family commitments can be daunting. That’s why we’re here to support you every step of the way to help you discover just how affordable University-level study really is.
Our specialist advisors are here to introduce you to Student Finance England and guide you as you apply for a Student Loan to fund your university studies and living expenses during this time. And don’t forget, you won’t have to pay back any of your Student Loan until you are earning more than £2,214 a month (before tax and other deductions).
For example, if you were earning £28,800 a year (that’s £2,400 a month), you’d only pay back £16 a month. (Figures correct at 1 April 2020)
It is important to make arrangements with Student Finance England as soon as possible to fund your course and make arrangements for any additional financial support to which you may be entitled.
