Residency and accommodation
Undergraduates at Trinity must be in residence in Oxford by midday on Thursday of 0th week of each term (or Tuesday of 0th week in the case of new undergraduates in Michaelmas Term).

Undergraduates living on the Broad Street site are normally permitted to return to their College accommodation in Oxford on Tuesday of 0th week of each term. They must leave their rooms by the Saturday morning in 8th week of teach term unless they have a university examination in the following week. Rooms in College are not normally available to undergraduates outside full term, other than for those staying up to sit examinations, and for third- and fourth-year students living in College-owned offsite properties.

New graduate students are expected to arrive in Oxford by Sunday of 0th week in Michaelmas Term. All graduates in fee-paying status are expected to keep Oxford full terms; for many courses, they will also be expected to remain in Oxford through part of the vacations. For further advice, graduate students should contact their course director (for taught courses) or supervisor (for research degrees).

Further information about College residency requirements and accommodation may be found in the College Handbook (see below).
