Attendance - important information
We understand that other priorities, like assignment deadlines, may mean you can no longer make it to one of our events. All we ask is that you tell us by cancelling your booking using TARGET Connect - it only takes a moment to do. This enables us to get an accurate picture of how many students will be there which is important as speakers have often come a long way and given up a lot of their time to come to Reading. Failing to honour a commitment like a workshop booking unfortunately gives them the impression that Reading students as a whole are unprofessional and makes them less likely to target the University in future.
Special requirements
The Student Employment, Experience and Careers Centre is committed to providing help and support for all students. If you require any special arrangements to access our workshops or any of our services, please don't hesitate to contact us.
