A Permanent Private Hall at the University of Oxford is an educational institution affiliated to the University — not as a full College, but able to award Oxford University degrees. "PPHs" are usually, though not necessarily, small foundations of a religious character; thus many of them offer a limited number of degrees, sometimes only to members of a specific religious order, and generally in Theology and related subjects. The maximum number of undergraduates allowed for each Hall is set by the University. In some case, a Permanent Private Hall can be granted full Collegiate status; recent examples include St Edmund Hall (became a full College in 1957) and Harris Manchester College (became a full College in 1996).
There are currently seven Permanent Private Halls:
The Master of a PermanentPrivateHall shall stand in tutorial relation to all members of his or her hall who are students, and shall exercise supervision over their conduct and studies.
The Master of a PermanentPrivateHall shall have power to make by-laws for the conduct and management of his or her hall which are consistent with the statutes and regulations of the University.
Each Master of a PermanentPrivateHall shall make available for inspection, at any reasonable time, by the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors, or by any one or more of them, the register of students admitted to his or her hall.
