Social Membership

The Basics

Social members of the MCR are entitled to:

  • access the MCR and use its facilities. (They will be issued a fob exclusively enabling access to the common room and the main gate of the college.)
  • attend some of the social events organised by the MCR (such as welfare lunches, movie nights, Wine & Cheese, and bops). 

However, social membership does not confer entitlement to:

  • use the college library or dining hall.
  • sign up for Scrunch or formal hall.
  • vote at MCR meetings, or to stand or to vote in MCR elections.

  • has obtained a degree at the College not more than five years prior, with the exception of those who currently belong to a different Common Room within the University of Oxford
  • has an academic connection with a senior member of the College or has the support of a senior member of the College in their application for Social Membership.
  • is the spouse, civil partner, or domestic partner of a Full Member.

Terms

  • Social Membership subscription is yearly with no more than one renewal of up to one year.
  • The number of social members is limited to 8 at any one time.
  • There is a subscription fee of £50 per annum, paid directly to the college bursar.

Applying for Social Membership

The application will then be submitted to the College Dean and Tutor for Graduates. Upon their approval it will be put up to a vote at the next calendarised General Meeting which the person seeking membership MUST attend.

Applicants are advised to apply well ahead of when they want their membership to begin to minimise the risk of delay to their application.
