The Residence Life Team
Residence Life Helen has updated us that Training Week is well underway for this year’s Residence Life Team. There are seventy four student team members this year who make up the team and are all busy learning all about their roles. They will be meeting with the different support services available, brushing up their campus geography and generally getting ready to meet our new arrivals next week.
Mentors will visit regularly throughout the year, so please ensure that you make the most of them by asking about anything you’re unsure of and by talking to them about any worries or concerns. That is what they’re there for. Everyone on the team has experience of student life and no question or problem is too small – if it’s bothering you, please do let them know and they will try to help. They will also be running residence events throughout term time and last year some of the events included trips to the beach, shopping trips, sporting events and BBQs. Do let the team know if there’s anything you’d like to see happening.
Your Mentor will visit as soon as possible, but if you need to get in touch with them earlier you can contact the team, or meet them within the Forum, on the Streatham Campus on Monday 12 September between 10:00am-4:00pm.
Arrival time slots closing
Today is the last day for those due to stay in Lafrowda, Rowe House, St Germans, Birks Grange Village (self-catered) or Duryard to use the online arrivals booking system. For all other residences, the last day to use the arrivals booking system will be tomorrow (Thursday 8 September). Please ensure that you have made any amendments to your booking by midnight on that day.
Arrival time unavailable
If the arrival time slot you wanted is no longer available or the system is closed, you will be able to turn up on either Saturday or Sunday before 11:00am or after 3:00pm and speak to one of the Marshalls available. They will be able to advise you when a space will be free in order for you to park and move in to your accommodation. You may be asked to wait in another location until there is a space for you unload at your residence.
