St Margaret's College Additional Information Form

Applicants to St Margaret's College are required to complete this form, which supplements the University of Otago accommodation application form.

Before completing this form you must have first submitted an application for accommodation via eVison or the Student Accommodation Centre StarRez portal.

Do not complete this form if you are applying for summer accommodation. Instead please visit the summer accommodation information page on our website.

Note: The size of the input box for each question will give you an idea as to the length of answer we are looking for. Questions marked with a red asterisk are required. Please avoid excessively long answers.

You may save your progress and resume completing the form at a later date with the save button. You will then receive an email with a link to get back to your partially completed submission.

We collect personal information from you, including information about your:

• name
• contact information, including that of your parent(s) or guardian(s).
• University of Otago Student (eVision) ID
• demographic information
• educational history
• photo

We collect your personal information in order to assess your suitability for  membership of St Margaret's College (the College).

Providing this information is optional, however if you choose not to enter the information requested, we'll be unable to consider your application for membership.

You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, please contact us by emailing contact@stmargarets.college, phoning +64 3 926 9690, or by post to 333 Leith Street, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand.

NOTE: If you are offered and accept membership of St Margaret’s College, you should understand that the College provides a high level of pastoral care (the College is not merely a place to stay). Also, our Members’ commitment to our four Cs (care, courtesy, consideration of others and common sense) is an important priority. Should there be any concerns about a Member’s behaviour/wellbeing and/or its effect on themselves or others in our community, we will be obliged to have an appropriate discussion with the Member concerned.

For questions with a + symbol please only enter one item per box. Click the + button to add more boxes until you have entered all of your answers.

Please upload a photo of yourself below. Should your application be successful, the photo will be added to your College record and used by staff and College Leaders to familiarise themselves with new members. There is also a poster of all Members in the College's Mailroom, so that Members can identify each other. Please note that your photo will not be added to your College record until your acceptance of an offer for Membership of the College, and will not be viewed as part of the selection process.

The photo you upload should be a front-facing head and shoulders style, but doesn't have to be formal i.e. you can be smiling. Please ensure that you can be clearly identified, which means nothing in the foreground and no sunglasses or hats (except where necessary for medical and/or religious reasons). DO NOT UPLOAD A PASSPORT/ID PHOTO.

There are various ways to add the photo, such as uploading a previously saved image from your computer or taking a new one with a webcam. Once uploaded, please crop and centre your face within the box.

If your parents/guardians are located outside of New Zealand and/or you have a relative living in Dunedin, you may wish to supply us with the details of a local/emergency contact (separate to those above).
