The following are some guidelines towards successful communal living at Wolfson. The full set of rules for living on the College site are contained within the Accommodation Guide.
Noise
Students are expected to behave with consideration towards others and not create undue noise. This means being particularly careful not to disturb other residents by, for example, the playing of music or talking loudly in communal areas after 22.00. Music must not be audible in other students' rooms.
If you are affected by noise, please contact the Porters' Lodge in the first instance. If they establish that there is a disturbance, those responsible will be asked to stop. In the event of persistent disturbances, the Porter will refer the individual concerned to the Senior Tutor. Noise can cause enormous distress to those affected by it, and persistent offenders may find themselves in breach of their room licence and thus asked to find accommodation outside College.
Guests
Students are allowed to have guests overnight in their room for no more than three nights in seven up to a maximum of ten nights in any one month. The Porters' Lodge must be informed of any overnight guests for fire safety purposes (see the section on Fire in Safety and Security).
Students are able to book guest rooms where availability allows. The Chancellor's Centre has double en-suite rooms which are available all year around and single student rooms are occasionally available outside of term.
Food Deliveries and Courier Services
All students ordering food or other items through couriers must request that the delivery riders/drivers meet them at the front of College by the flagpole.
No arrangements should be made for the delivery to go past this point for the safety and security of all College members.
Smoking
Smoking is only permitted in three designated areas within the College grounds; it is not permitted anywhere else, inside or out.
Pets
No pets are allowed in Wolfson; the only exception is guide dogs for those with visual impairments.
House Plants
All house plants kept in student rooms must be placed in a pot that has a plant saucer. This is to prevent water damage to the room's surfaces. Students are responsible for regularly inspecting their plants for pests and taking necessary actions to control any infestations. If a pest problem persists, students should contact the head gardener for further assistance and guidance.
Fresh compost is available for students to use for their house plants, located in the student greenhouse.
Televisions
If you watch or record any live TV on any channel then you must have your own TV Licence. This includes downloading or watching BBC programmes on demand including catch-up TV on iPlayer. Checks are made from time to time by the licensing authority. your TV Licence online.
Maintenance
Please look after your room and its equipment carefully. If repairs or replacements are needed, please inform the Maintenance department using the online maintenance request form. If you bring your own electrical equipment you should ensure it is safe to use with a Portable Appliance Test (PAT) if it is not new. Any adaptors must conform to current UK standards as non-UK standard ones may pose fire risks.
Insurance
The College has an insurance policy on behalf of, and for the benefit of, all Â鶹ËÞÉáµçÊÓ¾çstudents who rent a room in College. The basic policy is provided free of charge to all residents. Details of the current policy are given in Appendix D of the Accommodation Guide, and is subject to change from year to year.
Residents are encouraged to check the insurance information carefully to decide if the basic level of cover is sufficient for your needs. There is an option to increase the level of cover on, for example, your laptop, computer or bicycle if required.
