Mailing Lists

Harris Manchester College operates a mailing list for each Common Room. Your University email address must be subscribed to the corresponding list in order for the College to be able to communicate news, details of events, and other important information to you.

Whilst it is mandatory that everyone is subscribed to one of the mailing lists, only a limited number of people are authorised to send messages to everyone.

If you have something you believe is valuable to share with other members of our College, please contact:

  • Junior Common Room: JCR President or JCR Secretary
  • Middle Common Room: MCR President or MCR Secretary
  • Senior Common Room: Bursary Staff, Academic Office Staff

If you believe you are not receiving several emails a day via the mailing lists, it may be your address has not been subscribed. In such instances, please contact the College IT Staff: it-help@hmc.ox.ac.uk
