Resident Mentors
Resident Mentors are members of staff who reside in the halls of residence and are the first point of contact for students with any issues concerning their accommodation, or who require advice or assistance on personal matters. If your Resident Mentor is unable to assist you with a personal matter, they will advise you of the appropriate support services.
They are responsible for student discipline and welfare in their halls, and their role is to support, guide and assist students living on campus. For example, should you fall ill and need assistance, your Resident Mentor should be called.
Resident Mentors also ensure the safety of halls of residence and ensure that students do not cause a nuisance or damage. Resident Mentors can issue disciplinary action against students who breach the Accommodation License. Disciplinary action may result in fines (deducted from your damage deposit), expulsion from halls and/or expulsion from the University depending on the severity of the breach.
Your Accommodation License can be found through the E-Portal on the student information page.
Student Senior Residents
Student Senior Residents are students who reside in the halls of residence, helping the Resident Mentors perform their duties. Senior Residents are usually second or third years who have lived in halls of residence during their first year, and their role is to assist and support students while they're settling in and throughout their time in halls. You can seek advice and general information about St Mary’s from them.
