4. Housemasters complete the Confidential section of application.
5. Confidential forms are all sent together before the closing date October 1.
6. The application form and Confidential form are put together at the University and ready for processing and selection.
Notes:
They are asked to rank the Halls of interest. All Halls are good but if they have ranked all the so called 'favoured' Halls and miss out on their first choice it could be some time before they are accepted to a Hall. I have given advice as to which other Halls I would consider.
Confidential Forms:
I have asked for these to be handed to me by Friday Aug 8.
