Welcome! #

This Goodenough College Member’s Handbook is designed to fulfil two purposes. First, as a guide to help you understand and access all aspects of College life; secondly, as a useful compendium of College policies and regulations which also form part of your Terms and Conditions at the College. Please read it through carefully, and feel free to approach a member of the Registrar’s team, the Dean’s team or the Reception team if you have any queries.

This is the 2026-27 edition of the Handbook. To save paper, the College does not produce the handbook in hard copy but updates the online version annually. For the handbook to remain a viable, up-to-date information source, Members who organise or manage aspects of College life are requested to inform a member of the Registrar’s Team if there are changes to a policy, practice or other matter covered in this handbook.

***

This handbook uses the abbreviations LH (London House), WGH or Willie G (William Goodenough House) and TGH (The Georgian Houses), in addition to referring to the various wings in WGH, which include JCC (Julian Crossley Court), APC (Ashley Ponsonby Court), Jubilee Wing, Heathcote (including Heathcote Houses) and Elysium. All those in residence at Goodenough College are referred to as Members.

In an emergency, please contact Reception on 020 7837 8888 or your House Administrator: Marco Masina (WGH; 020 7520 1572) or Kate Hopkinson (LH; 020 7520 1577).

We hope you will enjoy your time at Goodenough College!
