Mentoring
Student Connect - Colleges of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies, Science, Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and the Schools of Law and Informatics. Mentors in the Programme provide support to all first year students in the Colleges of Arts, Science, MNHS and the Schools of Law and Informatics and help to make the transition from second level to third level education an enjoyable and memorable time. First year students in these colleges will be allocated a mentor before they arrive in the University. We will send you your mentor’s name, email address and telephone number so that you can contact them before you arrive with any queries you might have in relation to coming to University.
Dos & Don’ts
- Don’t park in spaces marked as reserved or loading bays.
- Don’t use the universally accessible spaces if you don’t have or display a valid Irish Wheelchair Association ‘blue badge’ permit.
CLAMPING
Do not park illegally as NUI Galway is regularly patrolled
by clampers. Release fee: €60 & €80 after 6pm
- Do use the Park and Ride Facility in Dangan as much as possible. |It has lots of free spaces and is only a three minute drive away. A bus will pick up and drop you back to your car. Save time and avoid the stress of waiting for a space!
- Do ensure that you ALWAYS give pedestrians right of way and take care when driving on campus. Be WARNED that speeding cars will have their number noted and drivers will be addressed.
top tip!
In accepting a student parking permit, you are deemed to have read and understood the Student Parking rules and regulations. Please note that abuse of the parking management system may result in a disciplinary procedure.
You will meet your mentor and a group of other first years during the orientation week. The venue and time will be sent to you in advance. This meeting is crucial as it sets the whole University scene for you and will put into context what you need to know as a first year student (socially, academically and emotionally). The best way to learn is by hearing it from a student who was in your shoes this time last year. Follow us on Facebook to find out more:
