If you’re receiving your results on Thursday 14 August 2025, you can check the status of your UCAS application from 08:00 on that day. We will also email you that morning to inform you of our decision and outline your next steps.
If the University of Reading was one of your choices, your status may update to:
- University of Reading has confirmed your place to study [course name] – Congratulations!
- University of Reading is still deciding on your application
- You’re in Clearing
- You’ve been offered a place for a different course at your firm choice University of Reading
We have confirmed your place with us. If we were your insurance choice, it also means that your firm choice did not confirm your place. We are looking forward to seeing you in September.
We haven’t been able to make a decision yet. This usually means we’re missing something essential for confirming your place. We’ll email you to explain what’s missing and provide instructions on how to submit it.
This means we haven’t been able to confirm your place. However, you can find an alternative course in Clearing.
This means we weren’t able to confirm you for your firm choice programme, but you meet the entry requirements for a different course.
Please consider whether this course interests you. If so, you’ll need to accept the offer on UCAS. If you’re not interested, you can reject it.
Once you’ve received final decisions from both your firm and insurance choices, you’ll have five days to respond. If you don’t accept or decline the offer within this time, UCAS will automatically decline it for you.
If you are unsure whether we receive your results directly 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) aren’t on the list, please scan and email them to us at applicantresults@reading.ac.uk.
