SHU Clearing 2017

On Thursday 17 August, the University will be entering Clearing in order to finalise our undergraduate recruitment for 2017/18. Applicants receive their A level results on Thursday 17th August, and our call centre opens from 6.30am.  We will also be open for visits from applicants who want to secure a place at Hallam.

Full  information for applicants, including details of our special Clearing Open Days on Saturday 19th and Tuesday 22nd August, can be found at https://www.shu.ac.uk/clearing

You will be aware how important this period is in helping the University meet ambitious recruitment targets. As usual, extensive arrangements have been made to increase the number of phone lines available to enquirers,  and the largest ever number of academic and administrative colleagues from across the University will be working hard to provide an excellent online, telephone and face-to-face experience for our prospective students. Please encourage anyone you know thinking about starting University to contact us to discuss their options.

Clearing brings significantly increased pressure on our systems, and increased numbers of visitors to the City Campus from early Thursday morning onwards.

Your support would be welcomed in a number of ways:

If you receive a call from a prospective student who would like to apply for a place in Clearing, please redirect them to the dedicated line:

  •        0330 024 6390

If a student has already applied to Sheffield Hallam and has questions about their place ask them to call the dedicated ‘Confirmation’ line:

  • 0330 024 6390

You can also help to ease pressure on the university systems: internal calls will be answered as soon as possible, but external calls will take priority, so your patience will be appreciated. DTS will be prioritising Clearing on Thursday.

If you meet potential student visitors on campus who want face-to-face advice please direct them to Admissions Reception on Level 4 of the Surrey Building.

Thank you for your help over this crucial recruitment period. Thanks also to all those staff right across the University who are working to make Confirmation and Clearing 2017 a success.
