The major tutorial is worth 8 semester hours of credit, the minor tutorial is worth four semester hours of credit. These students participate in one or two tutorials per week during the three eight-week teaching terms. As a visiting student, you should expect to meet with your tutors weekly or biweekly. You will be permitted, but not required, to attend lectures related to your tutorials. The full-year program runs from approximately early October through late June.
Students apply for a particular area of study which matches their home school major.
If a course requested cannot be provided in a particular term or year, alternates should be selected. Neither the student nor the College may arrange a change in the student's courses once they are approved. All tutorials are given by tutors or lecturers who also teach Oxford degree students. Your principal subject tutor in the College will arrange a term's program of tutorial instruction to cover normally two or three specific areas within your subject, topics like Shakespeare's Tragedies and 19th Century Women's Writing for a student in English. Your principal tutor arranges with colleagues, perhaps from other colleges for special subjects, to supervise your tutorials in each area that term.
