Undergraduate Residence Undergraduates must live in Cambridge for nine terms to obtain a degree. Within each term there is a period of about eight weeks called Full Term, during which all formal University and College teaching takes place. The requirements for graduates are different. There are about eight Tutors in College who are between them responsible for the general welfare of iindividual students. You should expect see your Tutor at the beginning and the end of each term to monitor your academic progress.
Tutors are also available for consultation at various times during the week.
University terms are relatively short and vacations are correspondingly important. It is during the vacations that essential reading, and practical or field work must be undertaken to consolidate and extend the work done in term. Access can be obtained to the College Libraries at all hours. They are designed as working libraries for all junior members. The Librarian is glad to be told of books which would be useful to undergraduates and requests may also be made through Directors of Studies.
