Information for Supervisors
Thank you for supervising students at Jesus College. The College is grateful to our supervisors for their efforts in this aspect of Cambridge teaching and learning. So are our students, who are hugely appreciative of those who teach them.
This document supplements the intercollegiate guidance regarding supervisions and provides College-specific details that may be useful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact the College if anything is unclear or if you have particular questions. The Tutorial office will do its best to answer quickly and clearly.
Undergraduate supervision reports and payment claims are submitted via CamCORS. For issues with the CamCORS system, please contact CamCORS help.
A guide for supervisors is available online from Intercollegiate services.
Applying to be a supervisor
Supervisors need to apply to be registered on CamCORS. Applications are reviewed and approved if all is satisfactory by the Tutorial Office.
Please make sure that you do not submit claims without the correct payment option. If you do not have the correct payment option available, Intercollegiate services can help you find out what to do.
Please ensure that you include your IBAN numbers with your bank account details if you are applying to be paid directly to your bank account via BACS.
Student visa holders
Student visa holders must not be self-employed and therefore need to be added to the College pay roll to be paid monthly via a pay slip (not directly by BACS). This is a Home Office condition of these visa types. To be added to payroll each academic year, students must complete the Jesus College student or tier 4 employment survey, which will start the process of a Temporary Worker’s Agreement being produced for you by Tutorial. You will need one of these if you are a student member of Jesus College, even if you are undertaking supervisions for other Colleges. If you have any questions, please contact the Senior Postgraduate Administrator, Dr Vanessa Bowman. Student or tier 4 visa-holders will be paid via the College payroll in the next month after the payment dates listed below, once their employment paperwork is in place.
Safeguarding
Details of the College’s procedures and policies on safeguarding is available on the College website. These policy documents can supplement the general safeguarding guidance given to all supervisors but are not intended to impose any further requirements on you as a supervisor.
Serious academic, pastoral and welfare issues
If you have serious pastoral or academic concerns please alert the College immediately. We appreciate the role that our supervisors play in supporting students, but we do not expect you to become pastoral advisors to students. Your role is an academic one. Please refer all such matters to us rather than seeking to deal with them yourself.
