We recognise that many Graduate Freshers will be busy with their Departments during Freshers Week and as a result have kept College activities to a minimum. 

  • All full time students, as well as any part time students in Oxford at the time, are expected to attend College Induction on the morning of Wednesday 4 October. This will start at 9:30am in the MOLT Lecture Theatre (Please note the change of venue) with a welcome from the Tutor for Graduates, Dr Shannon McKellar. 

For those of you have not yet done so, there will be an opportunity to complete College Registration and collect your University Card. Afterwards, students from the MCR will be on hand to give tours, answer questions and explain what being a member of the middle common room means; you will also be able to chat to College Welfare Staff.

If you have not already done so, we recommend this as a good day to try College catering - why not start off the day by coming for breakfast in the Dining Hall and / or staying for lunch.

  • On the morning of Thursday 5 October there will be a College Freshers' Fayre in the Ruth Deech Building - find out about sports, music and other societies within St Anne's - further details are available from the MCR.
  • University Freshers' Fayre (Exam Schools) - the St Anne's slot for Graduate Students is between 2pm and 3pm on Wednesday 4 October. You may also be able to attend at other times, but admittance is not guaranteed.

Welcome letter from the College GP

Please read the the letter from the College GP, Dr Lawrence Leaver, carefully and register with the practice (or another in Oxford) as soon as possible. Dr Leaver & Partners surgery is a 5 minute walk from St Anne's, is linked with the College Nurse and appointments are easily obtainable due to the agreement the practice has with the College. The doctors are used to providing documentation (without charge) to the College and University to support adjustments such as alternative exam arrangements or extension requests.

It is a University and College requirement that you register with a GP practice in Oxford - do not wait until you are ill to register!

If you have a long term health condition or disability which means you need regular contact with a doctor, please discuss this with the practice early to ensure continuity of care. 

Students can continue to consult their home GP as a temporary patient. 

You can register with the College Doctor here.

Attendance is compulsory. If you are unable to matriculate on Saturday 14 October for reasons of religion or belief, please speak to the Academic Registrar.

Leave to matriculate at a later date in the term is only given in exceptional circumstances; please make certain you do not make other arrangements for this day. Failure to matriculate at a ceremony in the term following that in which you started will forfeit the fees for the term in which you came up and that term will not be counted towards the course.

You will then be directed to the Dining Hall to receive instructions from the Dean of Degrees, and you will process to the Sheldonian Theatre in Broad Street for the ceremony.   The ceremony should be finished by about 2:30.  Please note that no visitors are allowed in the Sheldonian.
