Tutorial Services
The Tutorial team provide a variety of services to our students, primarily relating to academic affairs. Please visit the Support & Services page for the full list of provision available to Wolfson students.
- Matriculations
Matriculation is the process by which you formally become a student of the University of Cambridge and Wolfson College. There are two parts to your matriculation, a University Matriculation, which entails completing an online form, and a College ceremony, which you attend in person.
The University Matriculation takes place online, and all students will be sent a link to the form in early October. College Matriculation takes place at an in-person ceremony in October, followed by a formal dinner in the dining hall. Students are expected to wear formal attire (business suits or equivalent) and a gown if they have one. The dates for matriculation ceremonies each year are listed on the getting started webpage.
Matriculation for many part-time MSt and MAcc students will take place in September, at the beginning of the course. These students will be invited to their given ceremony and dinner by email.
- Keeping term
Full time undergraduate students must spend at least three terms resident in Cambridge in order to be eligible for their degree. For more information, please consult the terms of study information on the University website.
- Examinations
The Undergraduate Examinations Guide webpage contains useful information about the undergraduate examination period, from candidate numbers and ECFs to quiet study spaces in College and where to find more information.
- Graduations
Graduations in Cambridge take place in the Senate House and the receipt of your degree certificate. To receive your degree, you must register for a graduation ceremony through the College.
- Intermission
During the course of your studies you may find that you are unable to continue because of a health condition (physical or mental), disability-related issues, bereavement, financial reasons, or another serious reason.
In these circumstances, you can apply for permission to take time out of your studies, which is referred to as intermission.
- Student status letters (banking, council tax, parking permits)
Students can request a letter from the College certifying their status for a variety of reasons, including Council Tax exemption, visa applications or to register with the GP. Please complete the following form to request a student status letter.
There is a separate form for proof of student status in order to set up a bank account.
In line with University policy, car parking permits will only be issued to those who meet the required criteria. To apply for a parking permit, please complete the car parking application form and return it to the Tutorial Office in Bredon House.
- Student Taxi Bookings
Student taxis are available for ongoing medical issues to enable transport to and from departments or educational events related to your studies. The college could also pay at its discretion for travel to and from medical appointments. Furthermore, the college will also consider taxi booking requests for any other extenuating circumstances (for example, religious purposes, etc) which will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Students should firstly speak to their tutor and seek approval for the taxi bookings before submitting the Taxi Booking Request form. The request will then be reviewed by the Deputy Senior Tutor (Tania Davies) for final approval.
Your application’s supporting medical evidence will need to be checked by either your Tutor, the College Nurse, or the Student Wellbeing Advisor. You will need to request an email to demonstrate that your evidence has been viewed and approved. Your application will also require an email from your Tutor approving the taxi booking. This email must include approval of the timeframe and number of journeys per a week. Both pieces of evidence must be submitted to James Wood in PDF format.
Student taxis are not able to be utilised for personal errands or social purposes. Taxis used for personal errands or social purposes will be credited/charged to the student's college account. Students should book their own taxis for personal errands or social purposes and should not be asking the Porters Lodge Staff to book taxis on their behalf.
