Undergraduates: Next steps

To enrol in October and to make your transition to university as smooth as possible, there are a few steps we need you to complete before arriving. If you have any questions, please don’t worry – just drop us a line.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

University card form

1. University Card Form

You all should have received an email from Holly, the Admissions Officer, encouraging you to complete the University Card Form.

Please print out and sign the form and attach a photograph. This just needs to be a photo which clearly shows your face – it could be a passport photo or a more casual one. Then, please either scan or take a photo of your completed form (as high quality as possible) and submit it online via our submission portal. If you have any trouble accessing a printer or scanner, please let us know. Please submit this by 31st August.

2. College Contract and Freshers’ Dinner

Please download the College Contract, complete the necessary sections on page 4, and save it. The entire document can then be submitted online via our submission portal.

When submitting the College Contract, you will also be asked to provide dietary requirements to help with the planning of Freshers’ Dinner (more information about the dinner can be found on the Dates & Events page).

3. Medical Information

The College Doctors have written a letter explaining how to register with them. Please complete this process as soon as possible, so that you can be registered before you come to Oxford, and to ensure that you can access medical care from the moment you arrive.

The College Doctors will also provide a handout giving information on how to use their services; this will be uploaded here soon.

If you are unsure how the UK healthcare system works, a useful guide is available on the website of the UK Council for International Student Affairs.

4. Registering with DAS (Oxford’s Disability Advisory Service)

If you declared a disability or medical condition when you submitted your UCAS application, then you will have received an email from the University’s Disability Advisory Service (DAS). Please reply to DAS quickly so that we can ensure support and access arrangements are in place before you arrive. If you would like to disclose a disability and register with DAS, or if you have not heard from DAS and would like to follow up with the team, please email them directly.

5. Online IT Induction and Student Registration

Once you have returned your University Card Form to us, your University IT account will be set up. You will be sent an email with your login details and asking you to enrol online for your course and an IT induction.

The details of our IT systems are linked below. We completely appreciate that this may look daunting, but please don’t worry – there will plenty of opportunties to ask questions and access support once you join us.

The College’s IT Office will hold an online IT induction in late September, to help you set up all the key IT systems and accounts you will need as a Brasenose student. If you can’t attend, a recording will also be made available.
