Deadline coming up soon!

I'm pleased to say that a good number of you have already sent in your financial information forms and photos - give yourselves a pat on the back before returning to revision!

For the rest of you, this is just a reminder that the deadline for sending these in is Monday 6 June.

Don't forget:
  • write your name and subject on the back of each one of the four photos
  • send the finance form, even if you haven't had a reply from Student Finance - we know this can take time, so you can send it on later
  • but as soon as you do receive confirmation of your tuition fee loan, send us a copy of the 'student finance breakdown' document
  • if you send the forms etc back in an A4-sized envelope, make sure you attach sufficient postage for a large letter - if you just put on a normal 1st/2nd class stamp, it will be delayed and we have to pay the excess postage, plus a surcharge
We use the photos for various things: to stick on files for your Director of Studies and Tutor (to make it easier for them to recognise you the first time you meet!), and we also give a set of photos to the JCR Freshers' Committee. They make a poster which they put up in the Porters' Lodge for everyone to refer to, with the photos in subject groups. So we're not worried about the colour of the background etc, but it should be a photo you're happy for other people to see.

Everything is very quiet in the Admissions Office just now, as schools/colleges are entering the exam period - so good luck to all of you sitting exams this term!
