All continuing students must apply direct to Durham County Council as early as possible. For further information on eligibility and an application form call the:
County Hall Transport Entitlement Team on 0191 383 5500.
On the application form from Durham County Council you will be asked to select a bus operator, this should be the one which provides the best service between your home and the College. It is essential that you make your application to Durham County Council early, as the bus operators will not release any bus tickets until they receive confirmation from Durham County Council and the College. If your application is approved, Durham County Council will pay the travel assistance award directly to your chosen bus operator each term and the College will make up the difference to the full ticket price.
If your application to Durham County Council is approved, the College will pay any outstanding balance directly to your chosen bus operator each term if you are eligible.
Alternatively, please contact the Access Fund Administrator on 0191 375 4205 or email access.fund@newdur.ac.uk.
