How to Play

• Rolling enrollment - if at any time you want to participate in an active session or Summer Camp program, grab a template, share, and tag us!

• When a new session begins, we will make templates available. Students can then fill out the syllabus template to reflect their reading goals for the session. We provide templates for a full syllabus (3 objectives - or more!) and a mini syllabus (one objective). Read as much as your heart desires!

• As you finish books, use our templates to complete book reports and show off what you're reading. Share them in your Instagram stories and tag us so we can reshare with the class!

• Want to earn credit for the session and compete for top student? You can enter your reads in the official gradebook - a link to the gradebook submission is shared in our LinkTree on Instagram.

• Many unique extra credit opportunities arise each session! In the past, students have received extra points for reading diversely, for supporting indie authors, for participating in the Trans Rights Readathon, and much more.

• One of our most popular session features is the Lecture Series, which is open to all, regardless of enrollment.

• Each book report is worth 1pt, unless an extra credit opportunity means it’s worth more.

• At the end of each session, the participant with the most points is our Top Student and has won a prize! A second winner is randomly selected, and each point earned during the session is an entry into our random giveaway. The number of winners and the contents of the prize are subject to change and will be set at the beginning of each session.

• The specific prize is announced at the beginning of the session, and the winners are announced once the session is closed and all extra credit opportunities have expired. Before announcing winners, we will check in with participants and verify their scores.

  Prizes and giveaways are not affiliated with Meta, Squarespace, or anyone else who isn't a private citizen. No purchase necessary. Open internationally. If our intended prize isn’t available internationally, we’ll work one-on-one with the winner to find an appropriate substitution. Emily and Kelsey will only ever contact winners via an official RU point of contact. On Instagram, we conduct official RU business through @RomancelandiaUni
