Student visa holders

This is a Home Office condition of these visa types. To be added to payroll each academic year, students must complete the , which will start the process of a Temporary Worker’s Agreement being produced for you by Tutorial. You will need one of these if you are a student member of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½Ó¿Ú, even if you are undertaking supervisions for other Colleges. If you have any questions, please contact the Senior Postgraduate Administrator, Dr Vanessa Bowman. Student or tier 4 visa-holders will be paid via the College payroll in the next month after the payment dates listed below, once their employment paperwork is in place.
Safeguarding
Details of the College’s procedures and policies on safeguarding is available on the College website. These policy documents can supplement the given to all supervisors but are not intended to impose any further requirements on you as a supervisor.
Serious academic, pastoral and welfare issues
If you have serious pastoral or academic concerns please alert the College immediately. We appreciate the role that our supervisors play in supporting students, but we do not expect you to become pastoral advisors to students. Your role is an academic one. Please refer all such matters to us rather than seeking to deal with them yourself.
