JCR LEVY

 

In order to operate, the JCR offers an optional, one-off payment which covers your entire time here at John Snow College. The JCR then invests all monies collected back into the Junior Common Room through event subsidies, resource refurbishment or the development of services and provisions. Students typically find that the the JCR Levy will have “paid for itself” after an academic year at John Snow College. 

FOR 2024-2025 ACADEMIC YEAR, THE JCR LEVY WILL BE £149 FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS ON 3-4 YEAR COURSES, AND £40 FOR 1 YEAR POSTGRADUATE/EXCHANGE/ERASMUS STUDENTS
