In common with many Oxford colleges, Wadham has produced a wide range of graduates in the fields of economics, history, law, physiology, medicine, management, humanities, mathematics, science, technology, media, philosophy, poetry, politics and religion who have contributed significantly to public life. This library specializes in Persian literature, art, history, and culture. It possesses about 3,500 volumes, almost 800 manuscripts, about 200 lithographs. The Wadham library building was initially funded by donations from the then Iranian ruling family, the Pahlavi dynasty. Wadham College Boat Club is the rowing club for students at Wadham, and it also allows Harris Manchester College students to join. The college boat house is located on Boathouse Island. [ citation needed] Anecdotes and curiosities [ edit ]At Wadham we work hard but play harder! We have fortnightly ‘bops’ (big open parties) every two weeks which always end with ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ where people get ‘mandela-ed’ (essentially you just get on someone else’s shoulders!).

Students from the UK or Ireland, or those with indefinite leave to remain or those who have been granted pre-settled status or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme are eligible for free treatment under the National Health Service (NHS). Undergraduates read for, to use the local terminology, a ‘ First Public Examination’ (FPE) and, if successful, proceed to a ‘ Final Honour School’ (FHS).The Graduate Centre is supplied with a number of bins for collection of recyclable materials (paper, paper cups, aluminium and steel cans, plastic and glass bottles, plastic food containers). All users are encouraged to use these bins. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of tutors' nominations in recognition of continuous work of a first-class standard, and for distinguished performance in the First Public Examination. Since Michaelmas Term 2015 the College has also made annual awards of Exhibitions for undergraduates. Students will be elected to Exhibitions, on tutors' nomination, on the basis of tutors' discernment of performance at an appropriately high level. Scholarships and Exhibitions are each held for one year only. Fresh nominations and elections are made each year. Full details of the College's policy on Scholarships and Exhibitions can be found in the Appendices to the Student Handbook. The Works Department is responsible for the routine maintenance and repair of the College buildings, employing carpenters, an electrician, a plumber, a painter and non-tradesmen. Where specialist maintenance or repair is required, approved contractors are used. Dear Gentlemen: We note your threat to take what you call 'direct action' unless your demands are immediately met. We feel it is only sporting to remind you that our governing body includes three experts in chemical warfare, two ex-commandos skilled with dynamite and torturing prisoners, four qualified marksmen in both small arms and rifles, two ex-artillerymen, one holder of the Victoria Cross, four karate experts and a chaplain. The governing body has authorized me to tell you that we look forward with confidence to what you call a 'confrontation,' and I may say, with anticipation.The letter seemed to have dimmed the students' fire, was reprinted in Harper's Bazaar, [47] and cited in newspaper columns [48] and speeches [49] for at least two years following its publication. A College Advisor, normally a Fellow in a similar subject area, is allocated to each graduate student to provide support in matters of personal welfare and academic progress. While prime academic responsibility lies with the University, and in particular with the Faculty or Department Supervisor, College Advisors can offer less specialised help which may sometimes be useful for just that reason. In the exceptional case where a student does not get on with a supervisor, the advisor can give guidance on how to deal with the situation and, if necessary, on how to go about requesting a change of supervisor.

College furniture and furnishings, including curtains and lampshades, must not be taken down, tied up or removed from rooms. Any changes to the layout of the furniture in the room should not lead to risks to College staff, for example when they are undertaking maintenance work or room inspections. Suspension is normally agreed only on medical grounds, and after very careful consideration. Grounds for suspension may include ill-health, pregnancy, childcare commitments, or exceptional personal circumstances.

Students are advised to consult the College’s Guidelines on Suspension for further information.

Whether an undergraduate lives in College or out, absences from Oxford of two consecutive nights (not counting Saturday nights) must be approved by the relevant College Tutor. Longer absences require approval by the Senior Tutor, and permission will not normally be granted unless on medical grounds or in other exceptional circumstances. The College already recycles much of its waste and we are fully integrated into Oxford City Council’s recycling arrangements. The programme includes the co-mingled recycling of tins, cans, plastics and cardboard. The waste created by College is collected daily Monday-Friday and, where appropriate, it is sent for recycling. Priority 2: Urgent repairs; to be completed within 5 days. (Repairs that materially affect the comfort or convenience of the residents).

Retrieved 16 June 2013. v) Produce all academic work with the regularity required by the tutor(s), except where permission is obtained, preferably in advance, from the tutor(s) concerned. An exception is made for estranged students, who would normally be able to remain resident in college-owned accommodation all year round; they may in some cases be asked to move room during the vacation.

The Tutor for Graduates and Senior Tutor are available (as are, of course, College Advisors) to discuss such matters as funding, or interpreting the often complex University regulations. When application forms (e.g. for transfer of status, submission of theses, etc.) need action by the College, these should be sent directly to the Graduate Administrator ( [email protected]).

The Dorothy Wadham Building, on Iffley Road, was designed by Allies and Morrison and opened in 2019. It houses undergraduates, predominantly in their second year of studies. [34] Gardens [ edit ] Formal action starts with a report from the tutor(s) to the Tutor for Undergraduates. The Tutor for Undergraduates will usually be able to resolve the situation by meeting with the student and perhaps initiating a period of monitoring in the form of fortnightly reports from the student's tutors. Occasionally a student will be issued with a formal warning, or be required to appear before an Academic Panel. Anyone subject to such formal proceedings is issued with details of the procedure and of their obligations and rights (including the rights of appeal). For further information about the Academic Monitoring Procedures, please see appendix 4. i) Keep the residence requirements laid down by the University except where formal permission is obtained from the Senior Tutor in advance.
