Due to accreditation standards, students may enroll in 4 to 6 credit hours. Because financial aid providers typically require that student be enrolled in 5 credit hours to be considered full-time and receive aid, you may want to take that into account when picking classes.
The courses will be taught by American and English faculty and will be letter graded, with a final examination or equivalent work. Credit in all courses will be granted by the University of Oklahoma College of Law.
Classes will meet approximately 2 hours per day, per class, Monday through Thursday for 5 weeks (for 3-credit hour classes), leaving several long weekends for travel and sight-seeing. When offered, 2-credit hour and 1-credit hour classes meet for 2 hours a day for fewer days. In addition to our classes, the Program will also offer formal and informal activities for students and faculty. Scheduled program activities currently include opening and closing multi-course gala dinners, a field trip by motor coach to “Legal London,” a trivia night, and a wine-tasting class. These activities are included in the cost of the Program.
The 2024 Program is limited to 50 students.

Each flat comes with two bathrooms, a small kitchen, large single bedrooms for each flat resident, desks, and Wi Fi access. Laundry and printing facilities are available in the building.

The privilege of residing at Trinity College may be terminated for misbehavior such as vandalism or trespassing into private areas of the College, plus any violation of law or Trinity College disciplinary rules.
Students will be responsible for making their own travel arrangements to and from Oxford. As flights fill up early, students are urged to arrange for their travel as soon as possible. As the worldwide pandemic continues as of the date of this publication, students should seek to book airfare and other pre-paid reservations where the costs are fully refundable.
The University of Oklahoma requires that program participants purchase travel insurance. However, the insurance is only as good as the terms of the policy and the reliability of the insurance carrier. We strongly urge students to read through the travel insurance policy carefully to make sure the policy does not exclude coverage for program cancellation due to a pandemic, or given the current crisis in Ukraine, for acts of war or terrorism. If you plan on traveling outside the specifics of the program, examine your insurance needs carefully.
England, Oxford, and Trinity College are accessible to individuals with disabilities.
