Oxford postgraduate applicants 2014/15

Although granted, I wouldn't be surprised if it absconded at some point in my process of moving. I've sent the department and the college an e-mail each about it, so I presume we'll sort it. Quite happy kinks like this show up now, two months prior to course start.

Is it mainly a college or department matter, do you happen to know?

Edit: I also just realised that I only formally fulfilled my financial conditions in the end of last week. Maybe that could be why.

The student contract comes from your department after you fulfil all conditions of your offer and gets straight to a sent to a central office in the university.

I haven't gotten any e-mails about WebLearn or Solo or anything? Is that something I should contact someone about?

I've had some faff with college registration, but that should all be sorted soon. Could that be why?

Yes - the email from IT is basically confirmation that your signed contract etc has gone through and your paperwork complete. They don't send any other confirmation!

So it's probably the fact that my financial condition was only recently fulfilled then, presumably?

So, the university registration emails are the confirmation that our contracts have been received?

I assume so, as they begin 'As you have returned your contract we are now able to provide you with the information you need to activate your Oxford Single Sign-on account and email address.'

Congrats, what are you studying?

Hey guys,

Hope everyone is well, and getting ready for Oxford. Im currently in the process of applying for my visa, and was wondering whether any international applicants who received departmental funding can advice me on what visa category subclass we should apply to (There are three; Tier 4 (General) Student, Tier 4 (General) (Sponsored) Student and
Tier 4 (Scholarship))... Thanks in advance!!

Back after an absence of about a month (graduation + travel!), and now starting to worry again about the Oxford situation. I missed an exam and have to retake it sometime next month, so until I do that Oxford can't sign off on my academic conditions (despite the fact that even with a 0 in the exam I've met them). This would probably fine if I didn't have to apply for a Visa!

I've spoken to my department and they said it should be alright even though the deadline for meeting conditions is the 31st of this month. I'm still worried, though, because I feel that, until I have my unconditional offer, Oxford and funding are a mirage that could disappear at any point.

I'm considering calling my department again, and explaining my situation to my college. Is this a good idea?

Question for the body, since I just got my email set up (woo!): do postgrads tend to use their college-domain email address or their department-domain one?

It's Tier 4 (General)(Sponsored). There's a lot of useful visa help on this page and a handy pdf to completing the application.
