*Students continuing from the previous term are required to be in residence in Oxford not later than four days following these dates for Hilary Term and for Trinity Term respectively.
Students may participate for the combined Hilary and Trinity Terms, or for all three terms. There is greater flexibility applying via the Brockport Oxford Program. Students are required to be in residence for 12 weeks each term.
Students are required to do 12 essays each term each earning one US semester credit. Given that up to 12 credits may be earned in any given Oxford term, students could earn the equivalent of 24 credits during the Hilary & Trinity Terms (January to June).
