When is oxford matriculation

We have come to Oxford from all around the world to pursue our dreams; to learn from world-renowned scholars, from our classmates and from each other; and to acquire and develop the skills we need to make our societies better for everyone. It is indeed a great challenge and one we had been longing for years.

Fortunately, we could all arrive in time to live together and in-person this magical day. We are thrilled to share that as of now, we are officially matriculated students at the University of Oxford. Although not formally members of the University, non-matriculated students are expected to observe the same rules and regulations as matriculated students. If your course starts at the beginning of Michaelmas term, you would normally matriculate at the end of the first week of that term. If your course starts at a different time, there are ceremonies at the end of each Michaelmas term and at the end of each Hilary and Trinity term.

You must matriculate within two terms of starting your course, otherwise you will be unable to take a University examination. If you have any questions about matriculation, contact your college. Your department will provide you with the details. You matriculate at the start of your first degree from the University of Oxford.
