Late arrivers
If there are circumstances beyond your control that prevent you from enrolling before this time, please do so as soon as you can. You can enrol late, but you may have missed some teaching sessions and will need to catch up. You will not be able to commence your studies until enrolment has been completed, so you must complete enrolment as soon as you can upon arrival at Reading.
Below are cut off dates for enrolment.
- International students must enrol by the latest acceptance date stated on your Confirmation of Acceptance for studies (CAS).
- Most Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes have a latest enrolment date of Friday 13 October, 2023. Please note there are some exceptions, such as Physician Associate Studies or Postgraduate Teacher Training, where the start date is earlier and late enrolment cannot usually be accommodated.
- Postgraduate Research Students are asked to refer to the start dates listed on your offer letter.
