The Junior Common Room (JCR) is the hub of undergraduate student life in the College and provides many opportunities and events to enrich your student experience at Durham. Paying the JCR levy transforms the College from being a place to live to being a vibrant community full of opportunity. The levy supports students to participate in a wide range of Hatfield sport, music, drama, volunteering, arts and much more. Membership includes membership of the College gyms and also offers subsidies on formal meals, and tickets to Hatfield JCR-run events from Hatfield Day to our three JCR Balls throughout the year. This is a one-off payment for the duration of your undergraduate degree course. If you join the JCR prices for some JCR events and activities including JCR Clubs and Societies will be lower. All students whether they are JCR members or not have full access to all College facilities and College-led activities.  However, most Hatfield undergraduates are members of the JCR.

Those studying undergraduate courses - membership of the JCR is £25 for each term of study.

Relying on the generosity of contributions from Hatfield alumni and other supporters, the Trust works hard to enhance the Hatfield student experience by providing financial assistance in the form of awards, grants, scholarships and bursaries.

The Trust supports for following areas of College life:
