Student loans for maintenance and Tuition Fee Loans are available from
public funds to a UK student who fulfils the necessary requirements taking
an undergraduate course or the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (EU
students qualify only for a Tuition Fee Loan). You should obtain information
on how to apply for these loans from your Local Authority or the relevant
Student Finance website (Student Finance England, Student Finance Wales,
Student Finance NI, Student Awards Agency for Scotland). You should consult
your Tutor if you are in doubt about your eligibility or are uncertain about
your application.
If you are granted a Student Loan for maintenance, payments will be made directly
into your bank account as soon as your attendance has been confirmed to the
Student Loans Company (SLC) by the Tutorial Office. It is your responsibility
to ensure that the SLC has up-to-date details of your bank account. Tuition fee
loans are paid directly by the SLC to the College (see Section 23).

COUNCIL TAX
Students following a recognised University course are exempt from Council
Tax, and properties intended solely for occupation by students (College or
College Hostel) are not liable. But other properties are liable.
(a) Married students living in such accommodation where the spouse is not a
student are liable for Council Tax, less a 25% reduction; a certificate confirming
student status is required and can be obtained through your Tutor.
(b) Students from a one-parent family can obtain a certificate through their Tutor
which may entitle the parent to claim a 25% reduction of Council Tax.
CREDIT
Kitchen Credit. Except in the final Term of residence, kitchen credit is £500
per Term. This limit may only be exceeded if you have your Tutor’s permission.
In your final Term of residence, credit is restricted to a figure based on your previous
Term’s bill. This means that if you are spending little or nothing in that Term, your
credit limit in your final Term will be little or nothing. If this is going to be a problem
it is advisable to discuss this with the Catering Manager at the earliest opportunity.
If you should exceed your credit limit, the Catering Department will inform you,
giving you the opportunity to pay off part of the amount owed thus restoring credit.
COLLEGE ACCOUNTS
College and University Fees . Any fees paid by a Local Authority, or some
other public body, will be sent direct to the College. Home/EU students who have
applied for Student Support (i.e. Tuition Fee Loan or Student Loan for maintenance)
must provide a copy of their Financial Notification to Members Accounts (Y Angel
Court, Trinity College). For any students who have not applied for student support
other evidence of their eligibility for public funding will be required. Unless such
evidence is provided, the student will be liable personally for the College Fee. If
you are responsible for paying your own fees, you will be sent an invoice for them
at the beginning of each Term. This is due for payment approximately ten days
later. No fees are charged during the Long Vacation period of residence.
Charges for room rents, heating, meals in Hall, and for all other services provided by the College .
Some of these items, primarily the room rent, and the Kitchen Fixed Charge (see Appendix B) are charged quarterly in advance, and the remaining items quarterly in arrears. A College Bill detailing all these charges is presented at the start of each Term. This Bill also covers any items outstanding from the previous quarter, including any adjustments where the actual charge differs from that collected in advance. College accounts are due for payment not later than the end of the second week of Full Term. Tutors are informed of those who have not paid at the end of the third week. Students whose accounts have not been cleared and whose Tutors have not heard from them, are sent reminders by the College Office as follows:
Michaelmas and Lent Terms a. The end of the fourth week of Full Term.
b. The end of the sixth week.
c. The end of the seventh week. Easter Term a. The end of the fourth week.
b. The end of the fifth week.
c. The end of the sixth week.
The sending of each of these reminders attracts a charge of £5 for the first letter, £10 for the second letter and £15 for the third letter, to be added to the account; reminders are only sent to those students who have failed to see their Tutor, or the Junior Bursar, to explain why they have failed to pay their accounts. Students still debtors at Exit Day will be required to go out of residence immediately, and the College Council may not permit them to occupy their College Rooms in the following Term. Tutors may support a request to the Junior Bursar to vary these sanctions, so if you have financial problems you should confide in your Tutor without delay. For undergraduates prepayment of certain charges covers Termly room rent and Kitchen Fixed Charge (see page 39). You will be issued with a notice about prepayment when you first come into residence. For B.A.s and Advanced Students, the system of pre-payment covers the quarterly rent. All students, irrespective of status, are required to pay an estimate of Buttery charges equating to their previous Term’s expenditure as part of the College Bill for their final Term. The College Bill must be cleared in full by the last day of Full Term if they are to graduate. Please note that cleared means that the cash has been credited to the College’s account and that it normally takes four working days for a cheque to be cleared; bank transfers also take a similar amount of time. Under no circumstances will the requirement to clear College accounts in full in order to graduate be waived or varied.
Personal Information It is the responsibility of the individual student to keep their Side Secretary/Tutor informed of any change to their personal circumstances or details. This is important in determining fees, bursaries and, for example, the rents charged for graduate students occupying College flats.
Payment of College Accounts. Payment of both College and University Fees, and the College Bill can be made by cheque (made payable to Members Accounts) or directly into the College’s bank account by bank transfer. The details required to make a payment by bank transfer are as follows: Barclays Bank, Sidney Street, Cambridge. Sort Code: 20-17-19 Account No. 00051942 If payment is being made from an overseas bank account you will need the following: IBAN No. IBAN GB26 BARC 2017 1900 0519 42 Swiftcode/Swiftbic: BARCGB22 In order for us to be able to identify who the payment is from it is essential that you ask the bank to put your name as a reference. Please note that bank charges may be incurred. The College is unable to accept payment in cash or by credit/debit cards in settlement of College accounts.

ACADEMICAL DRESS
Academical dress (i.e. a gown) is worn in the University Church and the Senate
House, on a few special occasions of which notice will be given, and by tradition
and custom at formal dinner in Hall. A student is required to wear a gown if
called to appear before the Dean. Academical dress must not be worn directly
over shirts or pullovers or over sports clothing.
COLLEGE NURSE, COUNSELLING and the HEALTH CENTRE
The College Nurse may be consulted for medical help and advice at the surgery
in B Nevile’s Court.
Surgery hours in Full Term are:
Monday–Friday
8.30–11.00 a.m. and 12.00–2.00 p.m.
The nurse will also be on call from home at other times. Ask the Porters to contact her if you need urgent medical care during these times. If you wish to be visited by the nurse, leave a message on the surgery answerphone (tel: 338471) if you are able to get to a telephone, or e-mail surgery@trin.cam.ac.uk. Alternatively, messages may be passed to her via the Porter’s Lodges or your bedmaker. Except for emergencies, please inform the nurse in the morning as early as possible in case it is necessary to arrange a G.P. visit. Two bedrooms are available in the Health Centre for ill students if necessary. If members of the College are confined to their rooms due to illness, the nurse or the relevant Tutor may be able to arrange for meals to be sent up, depending on the location of their rooms. Please note that it is important that all accidents and any other illnesses or injuries which require you to go to hospital are reported to the Porters as soon as possible.
Advice on the medical aspects of many topics, including diet, smoking and travel, is available and a small number of books may be borrowed. Relaxation sessions can be arranged for individuals if needed especially in the Lent and Easter Terms. A physiotherapist attends the Health Centre once a week in Term time; appointments are made via the College Nurse.
Counselling
The College Counsellor is available to discuss in strictest confidence any issues whether past or present which may be causing you anxieties or difficulties. Please check the College Website for contact details and appointment times.

BICYCLES, MOTOR VEHICLES, PUNTS, SKATE BOARDS AND ROLLER BLADES
Bicycles. University regulations require that bicycles belonging to students bear
a College registration number. Trinity students may bring ONE bicycle only
to College, which must be registered at the Accommodation Office (Z Angel
Court) at the start of each academic year. The sticker must be affixed to the
frame of the bicycle in a prominent position.
Students are strongly encouraged NOT to bring valuable bicycles into College;
anyone wishing to have an expensive specialist bicycle in College does so at
their own risk. Students bringing expensive bicycles into College must make
sure they have arranged secure storage BEFORE bringing it into College. Bicycles must not be left in any Court, staircase entrance or communal area, nor may they be kept in students’ rooms. A limited number of spaces in the basement bicycle stores located at Great Gate, ‘K’ Whewell’s Court and Blue Boar Court (nr Gifford Place) are available for students. Students eligible to apply for a space will be contacted by the Accommodation Department before the start of each Michaelmas term; stalls are then assigned via a random ballot at the beginning of each academic year. Students allocated a space will be issued with a sticker showing the stall number, which must also be affixed to the frame of the bicycle in a prominent position. Access to the basement store(s) is only given to those with a designated space; under no circumstances should the bicycle store gates be wedged open. Students are strongly advised to ensure that they secure the frame of their bicycle, as well as the wheel, to the stall. The College accepts no responsibility for loss or damage of any bicycles on College premises, including those held in the covered stores. Bicycles not displaying a current registration sticker, or found in the incorrect stall in a basement store, will have a note attached advising the owner that the bicycle will be removed by the Works Department. If the owner does not register or move the bicycle, it will be removed and placed in storage for six months prior to disposal. Students who wish to retrieve their bicycle will be required to pay £15 for the recovery of the bicycle. The College does not accept any liability should it be necessary to cut locks or chains to remove an unregistered bicycle. Bicycles must not be ridden in College, including within Burrell’s Field or along the Avenue, and they may not be taken into the Fellows’ Garden. They must not be wheeled across Great Court unless the Bishop’s Hostel gate is closed, when they may be wheeled along the east and south sides. Students should ensure that their bicycles are adequately insured – note that your home insurance policy will not normally cover a bicycle kept in Cambridge. The College’s collective ‘Possessions and Room Insurance’ covers pedal cycles up to the value of £200. Cyclists are strongly advised to wear safety helmets when cycling in Cambridge and to ensure that they have functioning lights on their bicycles when riding in the hours of darkness. Similarly, cyclists should observe all traffic regulations, including one-way streets, and should be aware that they may be held legally liable for any accidents or damage in which they may be involved. Information on Cycling in Cambridge, including a route planner and safety/legal information, can be found on www.trin.cam.ac.uk/cycling.
Motor Vehicles. Motor vehicles (including motor cycles, motorised bicycles and scooters) must not be parked on College premises, either on the main site or on Burrell’s Field. If you wish to bring a vehicle into College for loading or unloading at the beginning or end of Term you must display a temporary parking permit in the window of the vehicle, having first obtained the permit from the Porters’ Lodge. You must move your vehicle at once if requested to do so by a Porter. There are strict University regulations regarding motor vehicles and these are to be found in the University ‘Student Handbook’ www.cam.ac.uk/staffstudents/ studenthandbook. Permission to park vehicles in College overnight will only be given (by the Junior Bursar) in the most exceptional circumstances.
Punts. You must not moor a punt or any other type of boat on the Backs. If you own a punt it must be registered and marked (see the University ‘Student Handbook’ http://www.cam.ac.uk/staffstudents/studenthandbook/.). College punts are available to hire at a reduced rate on production of your College card every day during the summer months from 10.00 a.m. to 6.45 p.m. Roller Blades and Skateboards. Neither rollerblades or skateboards may be used within the confines of the College, including Burrell’s Field
