Myth 1: "Clearing is only for students who didn't get the grades."

Truth: Clearing opened on the 5 July this year. If you have your results, you can apply immediately.

Myth 4: "The Clearing hotline will be too busy to get through."

Myth 5: "I won't get accommodation if I apply through Clearing."

Truth: Students who accept an offer through Clearing by Friday 22 August are guaranteed a place in university-arranged accommodation.

Myth 6: "I'll be looked down upon for coming through Clearing."
