The Handbook of °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓÆµ, Oxford contains rules and procedures for the College's Junior Members. The book's contents are not 'advice' or 'guidance', but form a set of instructions for Junior Members' academic and social behaviour in College.
Responsibility for the Handbook rests with the Dean, who co-ordinates the rules of the different areas which it covers.
Those Junior Members with questions about its contents should raise them with the relevant College officers, who should be approached in the first instance. However, all matters may be raised at any time with the Dean; those wishing to do so should make an appointment with the Deans’ secretary, Jacqui Julier.
The Handbook is updated annually, and all students individually receive a hard copy at the start of each academic year.

COVID-19 Information
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the College has been committed to the safety of all faculty, staff and students. Although most COVID restrictions have now been lifted, the College may, on occasion, produce extra guidelines in relation to the pandemic; these may change rapidly as a national or local situation develops.
It is the responsibility of every member of College to know what those guidelines are and to follow them on each and every occasion. Such guidelines form an appendix to The Handbook of °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓÆµ, Oxford, and are subject to the disciplinary procedures outlined therein.
