All Licence Agreements are subject to £400 payment at the beginning of each academic year. This will be refunded at the end of your time at Wadham.

The Full Academic Year License covers the winter and spring vacations. Note that some students may be moved to a different room during these vacations.
The Term Time Only License does not cover any vacations but students can apply for separate licenses to cover all or part of the winter and spring vacations if they wish.
