All residences have a Residences Management Team consisting of a Residences Manager, Assistant Managers, Housekeepers and Handypersons.  The team provides support for students during office hours (generally 8.00am to 6.00pm), and you are welcome to visit them at your Residences Reception, or by calling the telephone number on the front of your Residences Card.  If you need assistance outside of office hours, you can find support in the form of Student Wardens who live on site and the 24 hour University Security service.  Contact details are displayed on the back of your Residences Card.

Detailed information about living in residences and policies and procedures, e.g. community living, health and safety, room transfers and leaving residences can be found at:
