Want to come to Swansea?

If you want to come to Swansea but are already holding a place at another University, you can self-release into Clearing by declining the place that you currently hold.

Follow our step-by-step guide below and start your bright future at Swansea University this September.

Decline your place in UCAS

UCAS has made it easier for applicants to change Universities after they know their results. Instead of contacting your chosen university or college and wait to be released into Clearing, you are now able to do this yourself from your UCAS Hub.

LOG IN: Log in to your UCAS Hub
SELECT DECLINE: Click the link to "Decline my place" on your homepage - you will be taken to a page explaining the process and asked to confirm you are sure you want to release.
REFER YOURSELF: That’s it! Once this has been completed, your status on UCAS will show that you are in Clearing. You will then be able to refer yourself via your UCAS Hub to the course you’ve been offered in Clearing at Swansea.
