Important Information and FAQs

What do I do if I think I need an ambulance?

The Porters have asked that anyone who believes an ambulance is required contact them before requesting one except in the most desperate of circumstances. They have first aid experience so are able to assist medically, as well as making a more informed decision regarding whether to call 999. Please note that if an ambulance is called it will be logged and the Senior Tutor might make it his business.

How do I get into college late at night?

There is the side gate and the back P'lodge which are both code locked and therefore accessable day or night. If you come back after the Great Gate has been locked then you can ring the bell to gain access. Christ's has someone on duty in the P'lodge at all times.

What if we've had a 'big night out' and something goes wrong?

It's important to remember that the Porters are there for protection and welfare purposes. They are not here to tell you off, though I don't advise pointing that out loudly in First court after your 'big night'. If there is a problem they can help. If it is a 'vomiting incident' ensure that it is cleaned up and reported.

Can I book rooms in college?

Rooms for meetings can be booked, free of charge, from the Porters. Rooms such as guest rooms are again booked through the Porters but a charge will be applied. If you are seeking accommodation outside of term then contact your Tutor, who will arrange something for you. Again, a charge will be applied.

Where can I get copies/printouts in college?

Photocopy cards can be purchased from the Porters or from library staff. If you want to print a file then there are printers in the computer room and the library. You can print from your PWF account and the amount will be added to the college bill.

When can I get into the Fellows' Garden?

During Michaelmas and Easter Terms, the Fellows' Garden is open from 9.30 am – 12.00 pm, 2.00 pm – 4.00 pm. During Exam Term the gardens are open longer, as a place of study.
