Deferring Uni on medical grounds
I’ve been accepted into Reading Uni. However I now need to defer due to needing surgery with a recovery period of 4-6 months. What are the chances of Reading agreeing to the deferral? Worry is that I was accepted on lower grades than were required. I’ve completed a form requesting the deferral but haven’t heard back yet. My surgery is due on 30 Aug but I’m due to start on 18 Sept so not much time.

Email the Uni and ask.
Offer to send a doctor's letter etc if they need it.

Will do - I am also going to call them rather than wait for them to deal with the online form. Thank you.

Hey @Musely
Sorry to hear you're going to be having surgery and a long recovery - wishing you all the best for it!
I would agree with @McGinger's response and suggest emailing the admissions team on [email protected] or calling them on +44 (0) 118 378 8372 as they will be the best people to help you move forward with this enquiry.
Best of luck for your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery!
