If you need to arrive before these dates, for example due to international flights, orientation programmes or your course start date, then please contact the Accommodation Manager at accommodation.manager@lmh.ox.ac.uk once you have returned your accommodation agreement to make special arrangements. If you arrive early you may be given a temporary room - and asked to move in to your term time room at a later date. 

 

Unfortunately we are not able to store student belongings on site prior to your arrival.

 

All new students (both undergraduate and graduate) will be allocated an individual time-slot for Registration, when you will collect your University Card. International students will need to have collected their Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) before this brief meeting (for further information go to: https://core.web.ox.ac.uk/international-students-and-visiting-students). We will need to see the passport (or other relevant identity document) that you uploaded in the ID check question of the pre-registration questionnaire, so please bring this along with you. In the interests of the health and safety of yourself and others, please ensure that you arrive on time, but not too early, for your designated appointment.
