What is Clearing?

If, after A Level results day, you have not managed to secure a place at university, Clearing is your opportunity to do so. Every year over 30,000 people find a university place through Clearing.

We’ve given an overview of the Clearing process here, visit the UCAS Clearing website for full details.

Am I eligible for Clearing?

You are eligible for Clearing if:

  • You applied through UCAS, but have not received an offer of a place at University.
  • You applied through UCAS, but declined all places offered to you.
  • You didn’t apply through UCAS, or missed the application deadline, but would still like
    a University place starting in the current year. 
  • More details on eligibility are available on the UCAS website – Clearing facts.

Accommodation Deposit

The deposit of £200.00 is payable at the time you accept an offer of accommodation via the online booking system

Exchange students

International and EU Exchange students attending Aston University for three terms are guaranteed a room on campus provided they apply by the deadline. If you are not attending for three terms we suggest that you still submit an application form. Please be assured that we will do our very best to find you a room on campus once all of the students attending for three terms have been allocated.

Exchange students coming to Aston in January can apply for a room on campus (subject to availability) via
http://residences.aston.ac.uk/eaccom/login/start.do and follow this up with an email to accom@aston.ac.uk stating your proposed
arrival date.

Accommodation Offers

Offers of accommodation will be sent to the email address you provide when completing your application form. You will not receive anything relating to accommodation via the postal system.

Before accepting an accommodation offer, it is essential that you read the Construction Noise information and the  "Conditions of Residence and Licence". Accepting the offer enters you into a legally binding contract that commits you to the "Conditions of Residence and Licence", which includes your obligation to pay accommodation fees for the FULL Licence period.

Students only receive one offer of accommodation (in accordance with the University's allocation policy). Please therefore be aware, if you reject the offer of accommodation made to you, we cannot promise to make an alternative offer.

Cancellation of Accommodation Acceptance

If you wish to cancel your accommodation offer after you have paid the deposit, you need to refer to the "Conditions of Residence and Licence" which explains the process and the charges incurred. In order to obtain the deposit refund please refer to the section below. 

Deposit Refund

Your deposit refund (in accordance with the terms set out in the "Conditions of Residence and Licence" ), can be claimed back via MAP.  You need to refer to the Student Finance Section and request Accommodation Deposits. Please complete your bank details and select whether you want the refund paid into a UK or Non-UK bank. Please be aware that the refund will only be made in full after your current Licence expires, if there are no charges levied against you and all of your residence fees have been paid. If you do not have a bank account and need the refund to be in a different format, then you need to visit The Hub in the main building and speak to a member of the Credit Control section.

Termly Accommodation fees

If you experience difficulties paying your accommodation fees by the due date you must contact Credit Control via creditcontrol@aston.ac.uk before the due date.
