Optional College Payments

Membership of Trevelyan JCR
 

JCR stands for “Junior Common Room.” It is the community of undergraduate students in Trevelyan College. “College” refers to a community composed of undergraduates, post-graduates, staff, and senior members and is managed overall by the University. 

To become a member of the JCR you must pay “JCR dues”. The Trevs JCR dues are £140.00 and cover the entire duration of your undergraduate career. This one-off payment, made at the start of your time as an undergraduate student at Trevs, will enhance your student experience in many wonderful ways.

More specifically, your dues enable us to run and manage the entire JCR including the vast range of societies, activities, and services we provide. These include sports teams, music and performing arts societies, dinners, events of many varieties, and outreach projects. They also allow us to maintain various facilities around college such as the Buttery (our college shop), our pool table, football table, and Upper JCR. All of these, plus so much more, work together to provide you with an unforgettable student experience at Durham.

If you decide not to opt-in, you will be unable to take part in the activities and use the services the JCR provides. Crucially, if you do not pay JCR Dues, you will not be able to:

• join Trevelyan College societies including sport, music and drama, and other miscellaneous societies
• participate in JCR elections
• run for positions within the JCR
• attend JCR dinners
• attend JCR meetings to voice your opinions on JCR operations, as well as wider University issues
• apply to work in The Buttery
• join Trevelyan College JCR committees
• use the JCR sporting equipment
• enjoy JCR member reduced rate gym membership
• apply for JCR funding
