I’m back, sorry for the delay in this post, I’ve had a hectic few days!
It’s getting near that time of year when term time starts for a lot of you. As August draws to a close it is time to start thinking about actually starting your course and thinking about what you need to be doing in the meantime?
First on the checklist is your start date. We’re getting calls about when courses officially start. It may well be different for each of you so if you need to check your start date then give your university a call and they will be able to confirm this for you. Secondly you’re a bit worried about your course fees, again give your uni a call and they’ll confirm the amounts and how to pay it.
Some other questions that we get are about accommodation. As your start date is only a few weeks away I assume you’ve sorted all this out but if you were accepted through Clearing it may be something that still needs confirming so…can you guess what I’m about to say? That’s right! Call your uni and chase them for details about accommodation!
On the topic of accommodation, something that may interest you is the competition available on yougofurther.com. They’re offering you the chance to win ‘ everything but the kitchen sink’ to kit out your new place with all the stuff you’ll need for uni, from can openers to lap top bundles!

Back to your questions. Some of you are still asking what happens once you have sent your Clearing passport to a uni to confirm your place through Clearing. Technically once you’ve sent it off, your place should be sealed. It’s well worth calling the uni though to check they’ve received it so you can press on with your accommodation and anything else the uni may need from you before you turn up.
I’m in for a quiet one tonight – But is there anything decent on TV? Probably not! I can’t believe I actually sat through that Liverpool game the other night. Disappointing!
Anyway hope that has answered some of your questions and I’ll be back soon.

- Hi, my name's Craig Fish (hence the title of my blog) and I work for UCAS, those good folk who deal with your applications to uni. I thought i'd write this blog to highlight how important it is to get your application to uni right and to offer some help to those of you who might find yourself going through Clearing this year. I'll also write a little bit on what goes on behind the scenes at UCAS. It is also an ideal opportunity to plug my band! Century Man (www.myspace.com/ centuryman for any of you who are interested!).
