The Council is the principal executive and policy-making body of the university. Although it decides on the policies and strategies of the University it must report and be accountable to the Senate through a variety of checks and balances. It has the right of officially reporting to the university (principally, this consists of officially publishing notification of important findings or events), and is obliged to advise the Senate on matters of general concern to the university. It does both of these by published notices in the ''Selasiad'', the official journal of the university. | The Council is the principal executive and policy-making body of the university.

The University Halls provide most of the accommodation for undergraduates and graduates at the University and at the undergraduate level they have responsibility for admitting students to the University and organising their tuition. They also provide funding, accommodation, or both, for some of the senior research posts in the University. They are self-governing, self-financing institutions in their own right, with their own endowments and possessions. | The University Halls provide most of the accommodation for undergraduates and graduates at the University and at the undergraduate level they have responsibility for admitting students to the University and organising their tuition.

Five of the nine 'Old' Halls and all eight of the 'New' ones admit students regardless of gender, species, or academic status, and without any age restrictions. One Hall admits only members of the female gender, one admits only members of the male gender, one offers preferential placements to non-human [[Sophont]]s, and one admits only postgraduates. These Halls also place restrictions on the admission of staff members, typically allowing only the appropriate gender or species to become fellows. | Five of the nine 'Old' Halls and all eight of the 'New' ones admit students regardless of gender, species, or academic status, and without any age restrictions.
