Not being a member of a College. Non-collegiate students were those attached to the hostels founded in the late nineteenth century with a view to providing less expensive access to the University by an avoidance of college fees.

Supervision of non-collegiate students was by the Censor of Non-Collegiate Students, latterly of Fitzwilliam House only.
