In Trinity Term 2025, we will be piloting a new student voice model, which brings together Common Room representatives and Officers of the Students’ Union to build a collective voice. It’s a space to find out what students think about things, and agree positions deemed to be representative of the wider student body at the University of Oxford.
The Conference of Common Rooms (CCR) will be where Common Room Presidents, alongside Part-Time Officers, come together to support the SU’s student voice work. CCR is a forum for students to discuss shared interests and common purpose, and is how students can input into SU decision-making, representation, and policy development.
The meetings will occur twice a term, usually in Weeks 3 and 7. The dates and times for Trinity can be found below:
- Thursday 15 May, 6-8pm, in-person, H B Allen Centre (click to reserve your space)
- Tuesday 10 June 6-8pm, in-person, location TBC
Our Articles and Bye-Laws are essential to this process, and can be found at the links below:

We would like to convey our sincere thanks to those who have been involved in the development of the democratic model and drafting of the Bye-Laws over the past year. It has been a truly collaborative project between the SU and the wider student body, and we look forward to continuing this partnership as we pilot the Conference of Common Rooms in Trinity 2025.
