Two weeks notice in advance of any event is preferred.

  • No steam is generated that is likely to set off the fire alarm.

The Junior Dean will not consider any form which has not been completed in full.

Posters for events must be placed only on College notice-boards. Those who litter College with posters elsewhere face a fine.

It is Trinity Policy that smoking, including E-cigarettes, is prohibited within all residential buildings. This includes all bedrooms, kitchens and recreational spaces.
