If you have applied through UCAS but are not holding any offers from institutions then you should be eligible for Clearing. You can login to the UCAS Track| website to check. If you are eligible for Clearing an 'Add Clearing choice' button will appear on your Track 'choices' screen.
Before adding a Clearing choice you should contact the University of Bolton to discuss your course options. When we have made you an offer for a course through Clearing you can then use the 'Add Clearing choice' button to apply for that course.
Please DO NOT use the 'Add Clearing course' button until you have contacted the University of Bolton and we have offered you a place. Once you have added a Clearing course on UCAS Track you will not be able to add another one. Visit www.ucas.com/clearing| for more information.

4. Find out more about the University of Bolton
You can find out more about the Univeristy of Bolton by visiting our website, but this is no substitute for visiting the University personally. On one of our open days| you'll get the chance to find out more about your course, take a tour of the University and visit our halls of residence.
If you have a disability or additional support needs we would encourage you to contact our disability service| as soon as possible to discuss your support needs.

5. Enrolment, induction and applying for a place in halls
Once you have an unconditional firm place with us you will receive information explaining the enrolment process. Enrolment is the formal process of joining the University - it's when you officially become a student with us.
Induction is your introduction to your course - during induction you'll meet your tutors and classmates and get your timetable for the semester. You'll receive your induction timetable directly from the academic school offering your course.
Both enrolment and induction are vitally important to becoming a student at the University of Bolton - please read the information you receive carefully and ensure you attend all the activities listed for your course.
Once you are holding an unconditional firm place you can apply to stay in our halls of residence|.
