The University of Reading's Clearing Hotline provides essential support for prospective students during the Clearing period. This service is specifically designed to assist with course availability, entry requirements, and application procedures. The hotline is only operational during the designated Clearing dates, and calls made outside this period may not be answered. Typically, wait times can vary, but calling during off-peak hours may reduce delays. The hotline is an invaluable resource for students seeking guidance on available courses and the application process, ensuring they have the necessary information to make informed decisions about their education.
