Introduction

We have written this Handbook to help you adjust quickly to College life. And once you are
with us, we hope it will still be useful to remind you how things work. It covers all practical
matters that will be important to you while at the College. In each section you will find
information, advice, rules and guidelines. The College accommodates about 700 students.
We want you to enjoy your time here, and we want you to be safe.
You will find many people to answer your questions when you arrive. There is also a lot of
web-based information, provided by the College and the JCSU.
We try to keep things as simple and as clear as possible, and to make everything work
smoothly. That way, you can concentrate on getting the best out of your time in
Cambridge.
Alongside the Fellows there are over 140 non-teaching staff at the College. You will not
meet all of them, but you will certainly meet the vast majority. We are proud of this
beautiful College. You will feel the same way very soon.

                                              2

The College

All our facilities are in 55 acres of College grounds.
The College has a No Smoking policy in operation throughout all College buildings and
student houses.

Gates
There are four Gates:
The Chimney – this is the main pedestrian access point to the College. The entrance to
the Chimney is in Jesus Lane, opposite All Saints Church (the church with the elegant
spire). The Chimney leads into First Court after passing through the entrance arch which
houses the Porters’ Lodge.
Victoria Avenue – this is the vehicular entrance next to which is a pedestrian gate giving
access to Midsummer Common, the river and our boathouse. Entering College via this
gate you come up a tree-lined avenue, Morgan Avenue, that leads to a red brick building.
The gated arch, known as Boatie Arch, leads into Chapel Court.
Jesus Lane – this is the vehicular exit, operated remotely by sensors in the roadway. The
gates open inwards. There is also a pedestrian gate, next to the New Lodge where the
Housekeeper’s office is located.
Lower Park Street – this is the back gate of the College and is used for some deliveries. It
gives access to Jesus Green and is used mainly by graduates to reach their
accommodation in Park Street and Lower Park Street.

Nature Trail
The College is bounded to the east by Midsummer Common and to the north by Jesus
Green. Inside these two boundaries there is a belt of trees and shrubs. These form part of
the College’s award-winning nature trail, designed by the Head Gardener and his team,
who were in turn inspired by the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (an Old Member of
College).

Cloister Court
The College was founded in 1496, and it originally consisted of buildings taken over from
the nunnery of St Mary and St Radegund. The cloister was rebuilt by Bishop John Alcock,
the College’s founder. Cloister Court provides entrances to the Chapel, the Master’s
Lodge, and several of the College’s meeting rooms.
The Chapel is the ancient church of the Nunnery, begun in about 1140 and finished in the
first half of the 13th century. It is the oldest College building in Cambridge. Inside there are
many examples of fine early 13th century architecture. The glass in the choir was copied
by Pugin from Chartres. The two windows above the southern stalls in the choir are from
designs by Sir Edward Burne-Jones.

First Court
Taking the western exit from Cloister Court, you will enter First Court. As you go through
the arch you pass the entrance to Hall on your right and the Marshall Room on your left.

                                               3

This range of buildings was adapted from buildings of the Nunnery and contains the
kitchens, the Old Library and the Upper Hall. The building on the left of the Court, which
houses the Porters’ Lodge, occupies the site of a former very small grammar school which
closed in 1570. The building on the north side of the court was built in 1638. The majority
of rooms in First Court are used by Fellows. The Bronze Horse in the centre of the lawn is
by Barry Flanagan and a feature of First Court since it was shown in the first Sculpture in
the Close exhibition in 1988.

The Orchard and North Court
Go to your right and turn left along the side of the lawn. Turn right at the end of the
building; the Orchard is on your left. The modern, angular building straight ahead of you is
North Court. It was designed by David Roberts and opened in 1965. It was fully
refurbished in 2005 and the rooms in these staircases are occupied by undergraduates. To
the right of North Court is Second Court. It has some unusually shaped yew trees set in
the lawn.

Second Court
The four staircases on the north side of Second Court were built by Waterhouse in the late
19th century and house undergraduates’ and Fellows’ rooms, together with the Tutorial
and Admissions Office and the Graduate Office. In the far corner, beyond the large yew
tree, is the College Bar, Coleridge Room and Picken Music Room.

Pump Court
To the right is Pump Court, so named because the pump that provided the only water
supply to the College until 1885 was positioned here.

Chapel Court
Passing through the archway between K and L staircases you enter Chapel Court. This is
one of the largest courts in Cambridge or Oxford. It was begun in 1885 and completed in
1928. The majority of the rooms in Chapel Court are used for undergraduate
accommodation. A major refurbishment of Chapel Court, in which almost all of the
accommodation was converted to en suite, was completed in 2012.
The sculpture by the Chapel is “Daedalus on Wheels”, a work by the late Sir Eduardo
Paolozzi, who was an Honorary Fellow of the College.

Library Court
Library Court is reached by taking the path from Chapel Court that passes behind the
Chapel. The Quincentenary Library, designed by Evans and Shalev, built to celebrate the
College’s 500th birthday, was opened by Her Majesty the Queen in 1996. The Library also
houses the Kwok Computer Room. Library Court is the building running at right angles to
the Library. This was also designed by Evans and Shalev and opened in 2000. In addition
to providing en suite student accommodation, Library Court also houses the College Nurse
and IT Department.

How the College is Managed

The College is a charity governed by Statutes.

Society
The Society consists of the Master and all the Fellows. Its duties are limited but important:
to enact and alter Statutes; to elect the members of the College Council; to elect Masters,
Presidents and Honorary Fellows; to suspend or remove Fellows; to be the final arbiter in
the interpretation of Statutes.

College Council
The College Council has the effective control of the College and is aided by a number of
committees, such as the Bursarial, Development, Buildings, Charitable Donations, and
Works of Art Committees and the Educational Board. It has four ex officio members: the
Master, President, Senior Tutor and Bursar; twelve elected members from the Fellows
each holding office for three years; and four students elected annually.
The students attend for the discussion of items which directly concern the well-being of the
graduate and undergraduate society as a whole: some matters, mainly those concerning
named individuals and some financial matters, are Reserved to Senior Members.
The College Council normally meets eleven times a year and deals with the whole range
of College business.

Student Affairs Committee
The Student Affairs Committee provides a forum for the discussion of business between
Fellows and students. It meets once a term, and is attended by all College officers and
representatives from the student bodies.

Student Bodies
The Jesus College Students’ Union (JCSU) is the body elected by students to represent
them. Elections are annual. Matters agreed by the JCSU and requiring College Council
approval are usually taken up and discussed first at the Student Affairs Committee. The
JCSU, with the help of a Senior Treasurer, has virtually independent powers of
apportioning the JCSU fees paid to it by the College between the various undergraduate
activities. The JCSU offers a wide range of services and advice. Their website is
http://jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk.
The Middle Combination Room (MCR) is a student-run society which looks after the
welfare of the College’s graduate students and represents graduates in the College and
University. The MCR are also represented on Council and various other committees. Their
website is http://mcr.jesus.cam.ac.uk/.

                                             5

College Officers and Administration

The Senior Tutor
The Senior Tutor has overall responsibility for all students of the College. Any member of
the College is welcome to discuss general or individual problems of any kind with him.
Appointments can be made simply by calling at the Senior Tutor’s Office (N1 in Second
Court) or by emailing him. He will normally be consulted about such matters as changes of
subject, special arrangements for examinations, and arranging for students to take time
out for medical or other reasons. Email: senior-tutor@jesus.cam.ac.uk.

Financial Tutor
The Financial Tutor deals with any student problems that are primarily of a financial
nature. He can make special arrangements for payment of College Bills (including
permission to defer payment) and can advise on your eligibility for assistance from various
hardship funds by means of either grants or loans. You should talk to him before running
significantly into debt with a bank or other interest-charging lender.
If your circumstances have changed or you find yourself in financial hardship, please
complete the Financial Hardship form to be found on JNet and return it to the Financial
Tutor by email: financial-tutor@jesus.cam.ac.uk.

Tutorial Department Manager
The Tutorial Department Manager deals with matters concerned with student room
allocations. If you have special requirements, for instance for health or religious reasons,
or you wish to change your accommodation, the Tutorial Department Manager can be
contacted either by phone (7)64924 or via email: ugrad-rooms@jesus.cam.ac.uk.

Directors of Studies
All undergraduates are allocated to a Director of Studies who has the primary
responsibility for the academic progress and general welfare of each of her or his students.
Nearly all are Fellows of the College, but from time to time acting Directors of Studies who
are not Fellows of the College may be appointed in any subject to cover for a Fellow on
leave.
Your Director of Studies is one of the first Fellows you will get to know. You should feel
free to approach her or him about any matter that concerns you, and to seek support or
advice regarding any academic, personal, emotional or financial problems that may arise.
You should always let your Director of Studies know if there is anything at all that is
interfering with your academic work and progress or likely to affect your examinations.
Directors of Studies have many academic responsibilities, including advising on lectures,
examinations, projects and options, organizing supervisions and teaching, and providing
advice on reading materials, bibliography and all other relevant matters.

The Acting Dean of Chapel and the Acting Chaplain

The Acting Dean of Chapel has overall responsibility for the Chapel, and, with the Acting
Chaplain, oversees the conduct of services. They are available to all members of the
College, of any religious background or none, for consultation about any matter.

                                             6

Dean of College
The Dean of College is responsible for good order and discipline both within the College
(including external staircases) and outside. He is also responsible for issuing permits for
parties.
The Dean of College holds regular and advertised consultation hours and also tries to be
available on a more informal basis. The Dean of College also maintains a page of useful
information on JNet:
https://jnet.jesus.cam.ac.uk/departments/dean/deanofcollege.html
Students are entitled to bring to the Dean of College’s attention instances of anti-social
behaviour by fellow students. In particular, you should not hesitate to report to him any
instance of intimidating, bullying or harassing behaviour. The College endorses the
University Guidelines on Sexual and Racial Harassment. Full guidelines of the College’s
policy may be found on JNet at:
https://jnet.jesus.cam.ac.uk/governance/policies/HarassmentPolicy

Tutorial and Admissions Office
The Tutorial and Admissions Office is open from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Thursday
and from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm on Friday. There may be occasions when the Office is closed
over the lunch period. The Office is located on N staircase. It deals with undergraduate
admissions, tutorial, financial and accommodation related enquiries, and provides
administrative support in these areas to undergraduates.

The Bursary
The bursarial side of the College is concerned with finance, the management of the
buildings and all non-educational administrative and staff matters. Its principal officer is the
Bursar who is responsible to College Council for the income and expenditure of the
College and gives guidance as to the financial implications of any policy that Council may
consider. He is also responsible for the management of the Finance, IT and Human
Resources Departments. The Domestic Bursar is responsible for the non-academic day-
to-day operations of the College and is also responsible for the management of the
Catering, Housing, Housekeeping, Gardens, Buildings and Porters Departments.

Development Office
The Development Office keeps you in touch with College once you’ve graduated; the staff
are in charge of arranging reunions and other alumni events. They also produce
newsletters, run the College’s alumni website and fund-raise for the College’s Annual Fund
as well as other major capital projects. Every year the Office recruits undergraduates for
the Development Telephone Campaign: two weeks paid work ahead of Michaelmas term
and a great CV booster. Sometimes other temporary opportunities are also available. The
Development Office also ensures the Porters’ Lodge is well stocked with College
merchandise and souvenirs. The Development Office is usually open 9.00 am to 5.00 pm
Monday to Friday and is located in K staircase.

also to the Marshall Room.

Music and Music Practice Facilities
The College has three music practice rooms in the basement of Chapel Court as well as
the Picken Music Room located next to the Coleridge Room above the College Bar. If you
wish to practise, please use one of these rooms. All music practice rooms are equipped

                                               9

with pianos and music stands for small instrumental groups. The rooms can be booked on
JNet (in the ‘Services’ section).
The three rooms in Chapel Court are available for all to use between 8.00 am and 10.00
pm. The rooms are only partially sound-proofed and you are asked to be sensitive to those
living and working in the vicinity.
The Picken Room is reserved for more advanced players who will benefit from the use of
the grand pianos there, or for small chamber groups who need more space. The key to the
Picken Room will only be given out by the Porters to those students whose names appear
on a list maintained by the Director of Music. Those who wish to be added to the Picken
Room list should email director-of-music@jesus.cam.ac.uk detailing briefly their musical
experience and attainment and their reason for wishing to be added to the list. Those
practising amplified music in the Picken Room are asked to ensure that the windows are
closed.
The Chapel is home to three organs, a double-manual harpsichord and a Steinway concert
grand piano. Use of these is very limited owing to the availability and nature of the building
and the value of the instruments. However, if you would like to know more about practising
on these instruments, please contact the Director of Music.

                                             10

Getting Access to the Services
Registration for access to the College’s IT facilities is done on-line through JNet, ideally in
advance of coming into residence. Incoming Freshers are emailed the relevant information
early in September.

The Kwok Computer Room
The Kwok Computer Room is found on the ground floor of the Quincentenary Library. You
will need your University Card to gain access to both the Library and the Kwok Room. The
machines in the Kwok room run Windows, support a number of applications including MS
Office, have DVD writers, flat screens, and plenty of USB connections. All the machines
are networked and have full access to the College and University networks as well as to
the Internet. You can use these machines any time of the day or night all year round.
Your computer account details not only allow you to log on to the machines in the centre,
but also gives you access to 400 MB of centrally managed storage (home space). This
storage space is backed up regularly but the onus is on you to make sure you have copies
of all your work saved elsewhere.

The Network
Every room has a gigabit ethernet connection to the College’s network, with which you can
access your College home space, the Kwok room printers, the University’s network and
associated resources and, of course, the Internet. Getting on-line couldn’t be easier:
simply plug your computer into the network and log on to JNet, whereupon you will be
asked to register the machine with the College’s network control system. Once this is done
you are free to use the network. However, you should note that there is currently a monthly
quota on internet traffic of 50 GB. Make sure you read the Network Traffic policy, as well
as the other IT policies, before you get going so that you don’t fall foul of the rules.
There is also WiFi access via the eduroam network available in virtually all locations
throughout the College. For more information see the Freshers IT Guide on JNet (JNet >
Departments & Contacts > IT Department > User Support > Freshers IT Guide).

Please await an email response to your on-line application. The Dean may require a
deposit of £250 before a permit is issued and/or a meeting with the organisers.

Procedure for Booking Public Rooms in College
The public rooms in College that can be booked are the Upper Hall, Prioress’s Room,
Alcock Room, Coleridge Room and the Library Court Seminar Rooms. It is not permissible
to provide your own food and drink; these items must be ordered from the Conference and
Events Office.
To check on availability, and to book any of the public rooms in College, you can apply on-
line using the College Events Booking Form on JNet. Alternatively, you can speak to a
member of the team in the Conference and Events Office on J Staircase, or contact them
by email (conference@jesus.cam.ac.uk) or telephone ((3)39485).
Once you have completed and submitted the form, the request will be considered and you
will be contacted by the Conference and Events Office. Where such a booking is made, a
permit from the Dean of College must still be obtained. Details of the booking should be
included in the application for the permit from the Dean of College. Please note that
invoices will be raised in the name of the person booking the event.

Garden Parties (May Week)
May Week runs from the Sunday following the end of Full Easter Term to the following
Sunday. Students wishing to organise a Garden Party during this week should first make a

                                            14

provisional booking via the on-line booking form on JNet. They should then apply to the
Dean of College for a permit.
During May Week, and May Week only, drinks and other refreshments may be provided
from sources other than the Catering Department and College Bar. Such dispensation is
given on the condition the organiser reads through the Jesus College Alcohol Policy
document (available to view or download under the Catering section on JNet), and
undergoes an alcohol training session that can be arranged directly with the Bar Manager.
This exemption does not extend to the sale of alcohol, which is not permitted under any
circumstances. If other sources are used, hosts are reminded that they must ensure that
the party area is left in a clean and tidy condition.
In May Week, Garden Party permits will only be issued for Jesus College clubs, societies
and other groups.

Parties on Staircases or in Houses
Permission for a party to be held on a staircase or in a house must normally be
accompanied by a written note confirming the agreement of every occupant. These parties
will only be permitted on Friday and Saturday evenings and must end by midnight. The
person receiving permission from the Dean of College is responsible for ensuring that all
rules and conditions are met and will be responsible for any breach. The maximum
number of guests will be set by the Head Porter or his deputy, and will depend on the size
of the room and the house or staircase. College rules regarding the playing of music apply
(Regulations B6 & B7).
Prior to a party being held, the residents of adjacent staircases/houses must be informed
in writing of the date and times of a party. Permission will not be given for more than two
parties on any staircase/house per term. Staircase parties must have a responsible person
on the door for the duration of the event.

Formal Hall (FH)
During Full Term a formal three-course dinner is served in Hall at 7.30 pm on Tuesday to
Friday, and on Sundays. Gowns must be worn by all members of College. The dress code
is lounge suit with tie/cocktail dress. Therefore, please ensure your guests abide by this
rule.
Children under the age of 16 are permitted to dine but require written permission from the
Dean of College. Drinks are not included in the ticket price, and can provided on a self-
supply basis or be purchased in the Bar. Please read the Code of Conduct for Dining in
Hall (this document provides important guidelines on the quantity and types of drinks
permitted), which you will find at the following link:
https://jnet.jesus.cam.ac.uk/departments/dean/conduct/dininginhall.pdf
Tickets are £6.60 each for College members (students who have paid the KFC), and £8.80
each for each guest and for students who have not paid the KFC. Tickets can be
purchased via the Catering Department page on JNet and the computerised booking
terminal located in the Porters’ Lodge. Bookings for FH should be made by 3.00 pm on the
day before dining and for FH on a Sunday, by 3.00 pm on the Friday before dining. Please
note all tickets purchased are non-transferrable and non-refundable. Please ensure you

                                            15

purchase the correct meal type for you and your guests and, if you require a Kosher meal,
contact the Manciple’s Office for further guidance when you buy a ticket.
For group bookings of 5 or more guests, permission from the Dean of College is required.
Please note the following points for these bookings:
 before contacting the Dean of College, you must contact the Manciple’s Office to
   establish date availability;
 group bookings are only allowed on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings; and
 you can apply for a Dean of College’s Permit using the appropriate link on JNet. Please
   allow at least 2 weeks for your Dean’s Permit to be approved.

Alcoholic Drink
The College strongly disapproves of excessive drinking and, indeed, any behaviour (inside
or outside of College) which constitutes a disturbance or unreasonable interference with
the way others wish to lead their lives. Those who ignore the sensitivity of others, in a
community such as the College, bring into question the appropriateness of their remaining
within the College. The College is particularly concerned to discourage excessive drinking
by its members and their guests. The College specifically disapproves of social activities
that are primarily excuses for drinking. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with
the College’s Alcohol Policy:
https://jnet.jesus.cam.ac.uk/departments/tutorial/policiesandprocedures/newalias.html
The Dean of College will ensure that instances of unsocial behaviour connected with
excessive drinking are discouraged by the imposition of severe penalties on those
responsible, including those who facilitate or encourage such behaviour. Drunkenness is
not an excuse for breaches of discipline, but an aggravating factor, and will be dealt with
accordingly.

                                            16

Personal Safety and Security

Keys/Access Cards
The Porters’ Lodge holds spare room keys and is able to issue spare access cards for
those whose rooms are access controlled. Unless prior arrangements have been made,
only the resident of the room may collect a spare key or access card from the Porters’
Lodge. When a spare key or access card has been signed out the resident is allowed 72
hours to return it. On going down all keys to rooms in College must be returned to the
Porters’ Lodge as well as when you finally vacate your room. All access cards, unless
otherwise requested, will be suspended until your return into residence. Lost keys and
keys not returned incur a charge of £30. Lost access cards incur a charge of £10.

Security
It is unwise to leave your room unlocked and even more unwise to leave valuables on
display. The College’s insurance does not cover your personal belongings and so
comprehensive insurance of your personal belongings is strongly recommended. The
College does not accept responsibility for the loss of or damage to articles left during
vacations, either in rooms or trunk rooms. Valuables must not be left behind without
special arrangements for their care being made by you.

CCTV
The College has installed a CCTV system and images are recorded for the purposes of
crime prevention and student safety. If you have any concerns about the use of, or
positioning of, CCTV equipment, please contact the Head Porter.

Gates/Access Control
The College has installed and continues to install an access control system. Access to/
through these areas can be gained with an authorised University Card. The following
gates/areas are access controlled:
   Victoria Avenue Vehicle Gate        (selected cardholders only)
   Victoria Avenue Pedestrian Gate     (all cardholders)
   Jesus Lane Pedestrian Gate          (all cardholders)
   Lower Park Street Pedestrian Gate   (all cardholders)
   Quincentenary Library               (all cardholders, after an induction)
   Kwok Room (computer suite)          (all cardholders, after an induction)
   North Court entrance doors          (residents only)
   Marshall Room (12 am to 8 am)       (all undergraduates)
   MCR Room                            (graduates only)
   Squash Court entrance door          (all cardholders)
   Gymnasium                           (all cardholders, after an induction)
If you experience any problems with your card or the access control system please contact
the Porters’ Lodge and not the Maintenance Department.

Personal Safety
The following information is an extract from the Cambridge Constabulary website.

                                           17

   When you go out, let someone on your staircase know when you are likely to be back.
   Always go out with people you know and trust.
   Always use well lit, busy roads and avoid shortcuts through dark, quiet areas or across
    areas such as Jesus Green.
   Walk confidently.
   Walk with friends and never walk alone at night – use a taxi.
   Stay alert – be aware of your surroundings – don’t wear your personal stereo when out
    alone, you won’t be able to hear if someone is following you.
   Don’t speak to people you don’t know, or go up to their cars.
   Consider carrying a personal attack alarm but not a self defence spray as these are
    illegal in England.
All of the above is just common sense and can best be summed up as:
                                BE AWARE NOT AFRAID

General Security
 When leaving your room/house, close all windows and lock the door.
 Take your key with you; do not hide it close by.
 Do not leave valuables on display, put them away.
 Ensure that the front door of your staircase/house is closed at all times.
 Consider having your property marked/registered.
 Ensure that the security gates close behind you.
 If you see something/someone that is suspicious, call the Porters’ Lodge on (3)39339.
 Do not challenge suspicious individuals; call the Porters’ Lodge.

Chimney Entrance
The main Chimney entrance gate is not access controlled and is open between 6.00 am
and midnight. Between midnight and 6.00 am the gate is closed and access is strictly
governed. In general, after midnight no one is allowed in or out of this gate. Please use the
other access controlled gates.

Intruder Alarms (not Security Alarms)
These systems have been installed in a number of College buildings/rooms to provide
protection from intruders. Any tampering with this equipment will be treated as a serious
offence under College Regulations.

Fire Safety
As far as is reasonable and practicable, all steps have been taken by the College to
prevent or minimise the risk of fire. This does not mean of course that a fire will never
break out.
The College provides systems to deal with this eventuality and these are regularly checked
to ensure that they are adequate. These include fire evacuation drills and regular
inspections/tests of means of escape and maintenance of fire warning systems,
emergency lighting and fire-fighting equipment.

                                             18

Access and Getting Around

Disabilities and Additional Requirements
The College recognises that individuals have different and varied requirements both in
terms of mobility and in social and dietary requirements. These requirements are
sometimes in conflict with our buildings, some of which were built over 500 years ago. The
College provides full access to a number of study bedrooms equipped for use by disabled
people. 6 study bedrooms are fitted with induction loops as are most of our meeting
rooms. We also have a number of kitchens that can be adapted to meet special physical or
dietary needs. If you have a dietary, medical or religious reason for storing your food
separately then, on application to the Tutorial Department Manager, we may also be able
to provide you with a small refrigerator for your personal use.
Unfortunately most of our offices and Hall are not on the ground floor but we do have a
battery-operated stair climber to help people to reach these areas. Where access to
administrative areas is difficult we also use ground floor meeting rooms as temporary
offices. The Bursar is responsible for implementing the College’s Access policy and any
comments on access provision should be made to him.

Cars
Owing to traffic problems in Cambridge, the University and Colleges are under an
obligation to the city authorities to restrict the use of motor vehicles by students.
Consequently it is a University offence for a student to keep, hire or drive a car in
Cambridge during Term without permission from the University Proctors.
Very limited car parking in College is available for students. You should apply only if you
have exceptional circumstances that make the use of a car in Cambridge essential. There
is a charge of £170 per term. Applications should be made to the Senior Tutor’s Secretary.

Motorcycles, Scooters and Mopeds
A limited number of parking places for motorcycles/scooters/mopeds are available. There
is a £62 per term charge for this facility. Applications should be made to the Head Porter.
Mopeds, but not motorcycles/scooters, are exempt from the requirement of Proctorial
permission. Mopeds/motorcycles/scooters are not to be parked in the Chimney.

Bicycles
Bicycles are particularly useful in Cambridge. All student bicycles must be marked with the
distinguishing letter of the College (J) and with a personal number which will be allocated
to you by the Bicycle Porter. This not only meets University Regulations (Proctors can
issue warnings or on-the-spot fines for non-compliance) but also maximises the chance of
the bicycle’s return should it be stolen.
Bicycles must be parked in the racks (at various locations around the College) or the
Chimney. Porters will clamp bicycles left anywhere else in the College (including the area
at the top end of the Chimney closest to the Porters’ Lodge). No bicycle may be brought
into any of the College’s courts or stored in any staircase or house.
For a termly charge of £21, the Bicycle Porter can provide a secure covered bicycle space
on a first-come first-served basis.

                                            19

Health and Safety

An overriding concern of the College is that you enjoy your time in Cambridge. Whilst there
are actions that we can take to help you, there are some things for which you must take
responsibility. These include your health and safety.

Accidents
In the event of emergencies contact the Porters’ Lodge immediately or dial the emergency
services direct. Do not waste time: act.
In the event of an accident or serious illness, you must inform the Porters’ Lodge
immediately. In case of dire emergency, dial 999 and then IMMEDIATELY notify the
Porters’ Lodge that a 999 call has been made. In all circumstances of accident or
emergency of any sort, it is essential that the Senior Tutor be informed immediately via the
Tutorial and Admissions Office or the Porters’ Lodge.

General Medical Care
All first year undergraduates and graduates are strongly advised to have the meningitis C
vaccination before arriving in College.
It is essential that you register with a doctor in Cambridge very shortly after first coming
into residence. . You should bring your National Health Service medical card to Cambridge
and make arrangements for registration with a local General Practitioner without delay.
You will also be asked to attend a drop-in session with the College Nurse during your first
week in Cambridge.

College Nurse
The Health Centre is located in I Library Court, Room 4. The telephone number is
(3)39450.
The College Nurse is in attendance Mondays to Fridays inclusive during Full Term to give
medical, general welfare and family planning advice at the following times:
  Monday, Wednesday, Friday          9.30 am to 12.30 pm
  Tuesday, Thursday                  12.30 pm to 3.00 pm
(These times may be subject to alteration, so current notices should be consulted.)
For an appointment out of term, please email (college-nurse@jesus.cam.ac.uk) the Nurse
in the first instance. However, if your enquiry is urgent, please call the College mobile
(07500 883448). If you do not receive a response, please visit the Porters’ Lodge.
Those confined to their rooms by illness can be visited by the College Nurse if they send a
message to the Porters’ Lodge. There are also members of College staff qualified in First
Aid, who may be contacted through the Porters’ Lodge. An informal First Aid course will be
run for students on a regular basis for those interested. Ask the Nurse for details.
If you are ill or have an accident, you should inform your Director of Studies as soon as
possible. In an emergency a Tutorial Adviser can be contacted through the Porters’ Lodge.
If you miss a Tripos examination through illness, it is essential that you see a General
Practitioner (GP) on the same day, in case medical evidence as to your state of health is
required subsequently.

                                            20

University Dental Practice
This service, based at 3 Trumpington Street, provides treatment under the National Health
Service. Contact details and information regarding costs are available from the College
Nurse. Please note: it is necessary for students to register with the University Dental
Service to ensure that they receive an appointment in the case of a genuine dental
emergency.

Hospital Treatment
The Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department at Addenbrooke’s Hospital (tel: 217118)
can be called in emergency for serious accidents. The Porters’ Lodge can arrange for
transport by taxi to the A&E Department.

Meningitis
Meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges, the lining surrounding the brain. It can be
caused by many different organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and amoeba.
Meningitis is not always easy to recognise at first. In the early stages, signs and symptoms
can be similar to many other more common illnesses, for example flu. Early symptoms can
include fever, headache, nausea (feeling sick), vomiting and general tiredness.
But if any of the following symptoms develop…
 High temperature, fever, possibly with cold hands and feet
 Vomiting, sometimes diarrhoea
 Severe headache
 Neck stiffness (unable to touch the chin to the chest)
 Joint or muscle pains
 Dislike of bright lights
 Drowsiness
 Fits
 Feeling confused or disoriented
 Developing a rash
… you must get medical help urgently.
The Porters will arrange for transport to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in an emergency. The
Senior Tutor will co-ordinate College action in the unlikely event of a meningitis outbreak
and it is therefore important that he is informed immediately of any suspected cases of
meningitis. He can be contacted via the Tutorial and Admissions Office or via the Porters’
Lodge out of office hours.

                                            21

Student Welfare

The welfare of our students is of the highest concern to the College. A range of welfare
support is offered by the College, the JCSU, the Cambridge University Students’ Union
(CUSU), the University and other organisations. The information and advice that follow
here summarise the key elements. More information on welfare support offered by both
the College and University is available on JNet (JNet > Departments > Tutorial > Welfare).

Personal Problems
Many students will pass through times when they are disappointed, feel low or depressed
because of academic, personal or social difficulties. Often such feelings are transient, but
if you find at any time that you need assistance or encouragement, there are many ways in
which you can seek support. The College offers support through its Tutorial Advisers and
Directors of Studies. The JCSU has Male and Female Welfare Officers and runs a Peer
Support system. Help is also available through your GP, the University Counselling
Service, the Samaritans or the student-run Linkline telephone service. The telephone
number of the Samaritans is 364455 and that of Linkline is 367575.

Tutorial Advisers
The Tutorial Advisers provide pastoral support for all undergraduate and graduate
students. They are willing and ready to be consulted by any student about anything,
whether or not the matter also falls within the responsibility of a Director of Studies or any
other College Officer.
They are regularly available in their College rooms at advertised hours, and will also do
their utmost to be available on a more flexible basis as required. You should feel free to
approach any Tutorial Adviser about any matter that concerns you, whether it is a question
of seeking advice and support on academic or personal issues or of needing help in
contacting medical or other counselling services in the University. The Tutorial Advisers
will treat any information you give them in complete confidence, only passing such
information to others on a need-to-know basis with your permission.
Outside College terms the Porters’ Lodge will be able to put you in touch with an available
Tutorial Adviser if necessary. In any case of illness, injury, emergency or bereavement you
are advised to contact, without delay, either your Director of Studies or a Tutorial Adviser.
For certain official University purposes the Senior Tutor or the Admissions Tutor (Arts or
Sciences) who admitted you ranks as your ‘Tutor’. Under the College Statutes they, the
Graduate Tutors and the Tutorial Advisers are ‘Tutors’.

Drugs and Substance Abuse/Misuse
The College Council does not condone the illegal taking of drugs. The legal position is
quite clear: the College would commit a criminal offence if it knowingly allowed drugs to be
used illegally on its premises. The College therefore co-operates fully with the Police in
such matters. Any student convicted under the Misuse of Drugs Act whilst he or she is in
residence in the University contravenes College Regulations and is liable to be sent
permanently out of residence.

                                             22

Substance abuse refers to the deliberate or unintentional abuse or misuse of alcohol,
prescribed drugs, illegal drugs and substances such as solvents. Substance abuse can
harm the user both physically and mentally and through the user’s actions, other people
and the environment.

University Counselling Service
The University and Colleges maintain a Counselling Service where advice on medical,
emotional and work-related problems is available to students. All consultations with those
who provide the Counselling Service are on the basis of total confidentiality. The Service is
located at 2-3 Bene’t Place, Lensfield Road, and is open at the following times:
   Monday, Wednesday, Friday          9.00 am to 5.30 pm
   Tuesday, Thursday                  9.00 am to 7.30 pm
The Service telephone number is (3)32865 and further details can be found on their
website: www.counselling.cam.ac.uk
The Tutorial Advisers can assist in fast-tracking requests for consultations with the
Counselling Service in urgent cases of need.

Disability Resource Centre
The Disability Resource Centre (DRC) provides individual support to disabled students
and those staff supporting them. This includes a diagnostic assessment service for
Specific Learning Difficulties. The Centre is located at Keynes House, Trumpington Street,
and is open at the following times:
  Monday to Thursday                  9.00 am to 5.00 pm
  Friday                              9.00 am to 4.00 pm
More information is available at www.cam.ac.uk/disability or you can contact the DRC by
email (disability@admin.cam.ac.uk) or phone (3)32301.

Sexual Health
Everyone, regardless of their gender or sexual behaviour, should adopt safe sex practice.
In particular, you should always use a condom if engaging in penetrative sex. There are
condom machines in the first floor male toilets in the College Bar as well as free condoms
available from the College Nurse. Confidential pregnancy testing is also available from the
College Nurse. Help and advice are readily available from the Sexual Health Advice
Centre at Addenbrooke’s Hospital (www.shac.co.uk, tel: 01223 217774), DHIVerse
(www.dhiverse.org.uk, tel: 01223 508805) and from the College Nurse. There is additional
information available from CUSU: www.studentadvice.cam.ac.uk/welfare/sexualhealth/
and the NHS: www.sexualhealthcambs.nhs.uk/index.php.

                                             23

International Students

Both the JCSU and the MCR have International Officers on their committees who will be
able to answer questions from students who having been living outside the UK. The
University’s International Student Team (email: internationalstudents@admin.cam.ac.uk,
web: www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/internationalstudents/) can also assist you. You will
also find helpful information at www.internationalstudents.cam.ac.uk.

Registration during the Course
If you are a Tier 4 student visa-holder, the College (as the University’s representative of
the UK Home Office) is required to record a contact (registration) within one week of the
start of every term through your programme of study. This registration means that you
have been seen by the Graduate Secretary (the member of staff responsible for all student
visa-holders), or by the Porters’ Lodge at Jesus College, and that you are witnessed
signing in the Visa Contact Book. You must sign in person, no one else can sign in for
you and you cannot telephone or send an email saying you are present.
   Visa Contact Book: Every time you sign the Visa Contact Book, the information will be
    uploaded onto your CamSIS records. These records are closely monitored by the
    International Student Team in the University. If you are unable to come into College to
    sign in person on the required date, you must make an alternative arrangement with
    the Graduate Secretary and these alterations will be noted on your records. This does
    not mean that you can move the contact dates to suit yourself. Students must have a
    valid reason, and have prior agreement with the Graduate Secretary, for an alternative
    date to be offered. If you miss a contact date without a valid reason, and without prior
    confirmation from the Graduate Secretary, your student visa may be revoked by the UK
    Home Office, which means you may have to leave Cambridge and the UK immediately.
    It is important, therefore, that you do not miss your contact/registration dates.
   For this academic year, the start date of each Full Term is shown below, indicating the
    period within which you need to report to the Porters’ Lodge to sign the Visa Contact
    Book. Please make a note of these dates in your diary/calendar and sign in before
    the end date shown.
     Full Term Dates                          Signing in Period
                                              29 September to 13 October 2014
     Tuesday 7 October 2014

                                              Easter: 3 to 6 April 2015
   The Graduate Secretary advises all visa-holding students of their expected contact/
    registration dates (see above). When you come to sign the Visa Contact Book, you
    should bring your University Card as proof of identification, and sign your personal
    page, having checked and confirmed that your contact details are correct. Please
    ensure that a contact mobile number is included on your contact sheet and that any
    changes are recorded on both the Visa Contact sheet and on your CamSIS self-service
    pages.

Settlement of Bills
If you are unable to meet the deadline because, for example, you have not received your
scholarship or grant, you should contact the Finance Office immediately. Failure to pay
by the deadline will be referred to the Dean of College as a disciplinary issue and
will incur a £40 fine.
If your College account is in arrears, the College will not:

College bills are viewable on-line on JNet, showing all charges due for the year and the
amount due for each term:

The termly prepayment of College bills is a condition of being allowed to remain in College
accommodation. Prepayment includes the following items, where applicable:
 Tuition and College Fees: Tuition fees are for the cost of your course of study. The
   College fee is for all the academic, social, pastoral facilities, support and
   accommodation services that the College provides for students. These are due at the
   start of the academic year. The College fee for the majority of Home/EU students is
   publically funded and will therefore not appear on your bill. Tuition fees will not appear
   on your bill if you have a confirmed tuition fee loan from Student Finance.
 Room Rent: Rents for College accommodation depend on the size of the room and
   the amenities provided. This is due on a termly basis.
 Heating and Lighting: The charge for utilities is £125 per term. This amount is in
   addition to your rent.
 Kitchen Fixed Charge: All undergraduate students are required to pay a termly
   Kitchen Fixed Charge (KFC) of £165 as their contribution towards the cost of the
   production, staffing and serving of meals. Meals will then be charged as taken. An
   application can be made to the Senior Tutor for an annual exemption from the KFC but
   only on grounds of health or religion. Note that exemptions cannot be backdated.
 Parking: College parking permits can be obtained from the Tutorial Office but they are
   limited in number. They cost £170 for cars, £64 for motorcycles and £22 for secure
   cycle parking. All charges are per term.
 Deposit: A £200 deposit is added to your first College bill. This will be retained by the
   College throughout the duration of your course and any debts still outstanding to the
   College will be deducted from it before the surplus is returned. The deposit covers
   various charges such as printing and room damages that may be added to College bills
   after graduation. The deposit is returned either two months after graduation or two
   months after you leave College accommodation, whichever is the later. It is refunded
   by bank transfer to UK bank accounts. To enable this to take place, you must complete
   the ‘student bank details’ form that can be found on the Finance Office page on JNet.
   Foreign bank transfers can be made, but you will have to pay for the costs involved
   (usually around £18).
 Insurance for Personal Belongings: An annual charge of £7 is added to your College
   bill. Further information is available from the JCSU.
 Printing: The total cost of any printing will be added to College bills on a termly basis,
   in arrears. Undergraduates wishing to review their current print cost balances can look
   at this via the ‘Me’ gadget on JNet. Alternatively, there is a print balance application on
   the Kwok Room printers. Printing is charged at 4p a page for black and white, 3p each
   side for black and white duplex, and 8p a page for colour.
 JCCS Charge (optional): This is a one-off charge of £15, which secures life-time
   membership of the JCCS (Jesus College Cambridge Society). The Society’s aim is to
   keep members in touch with one another and with the College, and it organises several
