Red Awards: FAQs
Everything you need to know about the RED Awards
We appreciate that between lectures, essays and exams, there are already a lot of demands on your time. That’s why we’ve designed the RED Awards to be as flexible as possible, with a set of guidelines that enable you to complete the scheme in your own time.
Q- How long do I have to complete the award?
A- We would recommend that you complete your chosen RED award within one academic year. Completing the award within your first year is a great time to do so, as it will then allow you to move onto other activities in later years. It's also a great time to start thinking about your employability skills!
Q- What happens if I don't complete the award in the academic year that I sign up?
A- If you do not complete your award within one academic year, your enrolment will be automatically carried over into each following academic year until you graduate. All the activities you have already completed on the pathway will remain, including the points you have already earned. If you sign up but do not complete your chosen award before you graduate, this will not be recorded on your transcript.
Q- Can I withdraw from the award?
A- Yes, you can withdraw at any time you wish to do so, please just email red@reading.ac.uk. You can sign up and withdraw as many times as you like, and this will not be reflected on your transcript.
Q- Who are the RED Awards open to?
A- The RED Awards are open to all 伊人直播app students. This includes part-time students, postgraduates, international students, distance learners, and those studying at the 伊人直播app international campuses.
Q- Can I complete an award more than once?
A- No, you can only complete each award once during your time here at the 伊人直播app. However, there are three official RED Awards available, and you’re encouraged to complete more than one. You can complete the awards in any order, and if you complete all three, you will also receive the RED Outstanding Achievement Award.
