Results day
For many of our applicants, results will be released on Thursday 18 August. This process is also known as Confirmation and is when universities confirm whether they've been able to make your conditional offer unconditional.
From 08:30 on Thursday 18 August, you will be able to access your UCAS application using your UCAS personal ID number and password to check the status of your application with your Firm and Insurance choices. This will update with the following:
Unconditional - Firm choice with Reading | Congratulations – we've been able to accept you onto your chosen course at Reading. We'll contact you via email in the next few weeks to provide more information about next steps, including details about Welcome Week and online enrolment. |
Unconditional - Insurance choice with Reading | If you haven't met the conditions of your Firm choice but you have met the conditions with Reading as your Insurance choice, congratulations. We've been able to accept you onto your chosen course. We will contact you via email in the next few weeks to provide more information about next steps, including details about Welcome Week and online enrolment. |
Conditional (no change) - Firm choice with Reading | If your offer is showing as conditional, then please do not worry – we may still be waiting on additional documents, or there may be delays in information provided to us by UCAS. We will provide a reason for this to as many of our unconfirmed applicants as we are able to on Results Day. Our Frequently Asked Questions below will help to answer any queries you may have. |
Unsuccessful - Firm and/or Insurance choice with Reading | Unfortunately, you haven't met the conditions of your offer and we've had to withdraw your place. |
If you are unsure whether we receive your results direct from UCAS or whether you need to send them to us, check the UCAS website to see which results we receive automatically. If your qualification(s) is not listed, you will need to scan and email them to us at applicantresults@reading.ac.uk.
Please feel free to contact us should you require anything further that is not addressed in our Frequently Asked Questions, either via our dedicated hotline on +44 (0) 118 378 8372 or at applicantresults@reading.ac.uk. We are open 09:00-17:00, Monday to Friday. We operate extended opening hours of 08:30-18:00 on A level Results Day, Thursday 18 August.
