Moving into College
In Advance
Please aim to arrive at College on Monday 7th October 2024 between 9am & 12pm.
It is essential that you keep to these arrival arrangements. If you are not able to arrive between 9am and 12pm on 7th October, please contact college.office@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk to make other arrangements.
Before you come, don’t forget to have all the vaccinations recommended in our Medical Information 2024.
Moreover, please be aware that there are planned railway closures at Oxford train station in the weeks surrounding the start of term. Do bear this in mind if you are intending to travel to the city by train, as it may affect your journey.
Arriving in College
On Monday 7th October, when you arrive at the St Margaret’s Road entrance of the College, you should report to the Wordsworth Room to collect your key and Freshers’ Information Pack; a team of current undergraduates will be on hand to direct you.
Along with key information about St Hugh’s and the upcoming term, you will receive your University Card at this registration session.
If you arrive at another time, report to the College Lodge. The Porter will welcome you, and suggest the best place for you to park, as close as possible to your room. The Lodge telephone number is 01865 274 900 – do put it in your phone as a useful contact!
Looking for somewhere to park whilst you drop off your belongings? There is free on-street parking on St Margaret’s or Canterbury Roads, but be aware that these are limited to two hours.
