A continuation charge is levied to students on research programmes once they have reached the end of the standard period of fee liability. Further details on graduate continuation charges can be found on the University’s Fees and Funding site. The College may also levy continuation charges on research students whose fee liability has elapsed.
The College's Student Support Committee and University Committee on Student Hardship are able to make loans and grants to assist junior members in unforeseen financial need. Students who find themselves in difficulty should contact the Chaplain, Simon Jones. Home students are also eligible to apply for assistance from the Government's Access to Learning Fund. Application forms for the Student Support Fund are available from the Tutorial Office and online. See the case studies described below to learn more about when and why students might apply for hardship grants.
Martin is a home undergraduate reading PPE. During the course of his second year his father is unexpectedly made redundant. As a result, his parents are no longer able to supplement his Higher Education Maintenance Grant and Loan. Martin applies to the Access to Learning Fund for financial assistance and is awarded a grant of £650.
Ingrid is an overseas undergraduate reading Physics. In the middle of her first year a member of her family dies unexpectedly. Ingrid is worried that she cannot afford the flight home for the funeral and so makes an appointment to see the Chaplain to discuss submitting an application to the College's Student Support Committee. She receives an award of £150.
Heinrich is a self-funded overseas graduate in the third year of a DPhil in Modern History. He has health problems in the middle of his third year. Unable to return home, he stays in Oxford to recover. After a few months he is able to work again, but has insufficient funding to cover maintenance costs in his fourth year. Heinrich applies to the College's Student Support Committee for financial assistance and is awarded a grant of £1500.
Liz is a home graduate reading for a DPhil in Chemistry. She has a Scholarship which funds fees and maintenance costs for three years. In the middle of her second year she is advised that her chosen area of research is not going to be as fruitful as she had anticipated and so she changes direction. Her work starts to improve but she realises that she will now need to take at least another year to complete the degree. Liz applies to the Access to Learning Fund and College's Student Support Committee for financial assistance and is able to complete her degree with assistance from both.

Rooms come in a variety of styles and locations at two prices, depending on whether the room is a bedsitting room or a set (two rooms sharing a sitting room). First years are allocated rooms on the main College site or in Merton Street. In later years students choose accommodation via a ballot.
Sally Hague, the Accommodation Manager, allocates fresher accommodation and works with JCR and MCR officers on the ballots for current student housing.
Just under 100 graduates are accommodated in Holywell Buildings, a modern facility in central Oxford, close to the University science area and the Bodleian Library. All rooms in Holywell Buildings have private bath or shower rooms, and are equipped with telephone and ethernet connections. There are communal kitchen and laundry facilities.
Other single accommodation, in houses with communal kitchens and ethernet connections, is concentrated in Manor Place, close to the Social Sciences departments.
The College also offers a small number of one-bedroom flats on the Iffley Road about ½ mile from the city centre for couples. The College regrets it is unable to offer family accommodation but the University Accommodation Office can advise on options.
Questions about accommodation should be directed to the Accommodation Manager.
