Introducing Love Oxford: our way of helping you to make the most of Trinity term. We want to help you enjoy Oxford as much as you can after what has been an incredibly challenging year.

That’s why we'll be sharing a range of events and opportunities for you to enjoy as restrictions start to ease – whether you are in Oxford, or studying remotely. Check out the new Love Oxford events hub on the Oxford SU website, and watch this space for more information.

This guidance will not ease until 17 May at the earliest, so until then please continue to follow these guidelines and only mix with your own household indoors.

Thank you for helping to keep everyone in our Oxford community safe. Check out the Love Oxford events page to find out more about what's going on in Oxford this term.

We understand how much you’ll want to celebrate after your exams, whether you’ve completed them online or in-person, and especially after this past year. Even as restrictions start to ease, it’s vital that you continue to socially distance and avoid joining large gatherings that could breach COVID guidance. That’s why we’re asking students not to take part in ‘trashing’ after exams this year.

The reports show an increase in demand for counselling from students, up 8% from the previous year, with 13% of the student population accessing the Counselling Service in the 2019-20 academic year. Waiting times were maintained across services, although patterns of demand were naturally significantly disrupted by the pandemic.

As it would be illegal for more than six people or two households to gather, and as there will be no event at Magdalen Tower, you will be able to enjoy the celebrations at home.

#MayMorning will begin online on Saturday 1 May, just before 6am, opened by the Choir of Magdalen College. You can watch the event live by visiting The Choir of Magdalen College's Facebook page or their Youtube Channel.

Practice exams include generic questions, are not subject-specific, and provide a good opportunity to practise all the core Inspera functionality that you’ll need for your real exams. 
 

On 5 March 2021, the current security certificate for connecting to eduroam Wi-Fi was retired and a new certificate took effect. This means that everyone connecting to eduroam using a laptop, phone or tablet computer will need to reconfigure the Wi-Fi of their device to keep using eduroam. It shouldn't take long and you can do this immediately – there is no need to wait until you return to the University.

For further information on this, please visit the Update your eduroam settings page.

My name is Ellen and I’m a second year English student at Keble College, Oxford. I’ve been in the position you are in now as offer holders, unsure what to expect at University, and can say I’ve really loved my time at Oxford so far.

If you do not have in-person teaching scheduled, you may be able to return to Oxford if you meet the criteria listed in the ‘returning to Oxford’ section of the student University coronavirus webpage. Existing advice for international students is also available on that page.

If you believe that any of the criteria apply to you, and you wish to return to Oxford, you should contact your college (or your department if you don’t have a college). Please do not make plans to travel to Oxford until you have confirmed with your college when you are able to return.
