Finalists' access to University online services

Oxford University SSO access

The course end date for most undergraduate leavers is on 30 June 2023. This date is also linked most SSO services including email, Canvas, SOLO and CareerConnect). Find out more on what services will be deactivated on Finishing IT use at Oxford | IT Help.

Use your SSO to open an account on Career Weaver, the Careers Service's web-based app to promote reflection on what you want from work – your career drivers.

  • Before your SSO expires, change your Career Weaver account to work with your personal email and continue to access any content already created on the app. To do this, click the 'User' icon on any Career Weaver screen (it’s next to the login/logout icon), and then click the blue 'Convert account' button and follow the instructions.
  • Matriculated Oxford University alumni can ask to have a new Career Weaver account set up. To do this, alumni must log into their CareerConnect account and send a request via the 'Query' tab.

Unfortunately, we are not able to change an SSO account to an alumni account for you, so you must complete that change through the app itself before your SSO expires.

CareerConnect access

The above DO NOT affect our automatic student to alumni switch on our CareerConnect platform, as this is triggered by your ‘course end date’ on your CareerConnect profiles.

Finalists (undergraduate and postgraduate leavers) will receive an automated email with instructions to update their accounts, and will be required to switch to an alumni account in order to continue using our services over the summer. This switch will also apply to those students who are finalists but are starting a further degree at Oxford in 2023-2024, as we won’t have access to the new course details until August/September.
