Getting to hospital

If you need a taxi to hospital, college can provide you with a free welfare taxi.

  1. Call/go to the lodge (01865279400) and request a welfare taxi, letting the porter know your location. Only taxis ordered through the lodge are eligible for reimbursement. Have your bod card ready as the porter may ask for the number on top of the barcode.
  2. Get in the taxi.
  3. Fill in the taxi form (found here) by Friday of 7th week.

How do I get support if I have a Disability or suspect I might have an undiagnosed disability?

Many people at Oxford have a disability and as such there is a lot of support available, including offering learning support, mental health advice, and support for those with sensory and mobility impairments, health conditions and neurodiversity.

You can contact Megan Roper, the Registrar, who is also the College’s Disability Lead, or the JCR Disabilities Rep (more information here).

They may put you in contact with the Disability Advisory Service, who will offer you further support, including applying for funding if you require specialist equipment. For more info on the DAS see here.
