We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to St Mellitus College.
As part of your induction, we will be gathering all new students from across our teaching centres for a National Launch Evening online on Thursday, 5th of September. This is an opportunity to meet as a national college community and hear more about what to expect and how Jesus shapes our life together. Spouses & key supporters are also warmly welcome to join.

In the first instance, please contact the academic admin team at academicadmin@stmellitus.ac.uk with details of what the problem seems to be (as much detail as possible!). They will either be able to help you or put you in touch with the IT department.
Microsoft Office applications are provided as Online-only versions with your student account and are fully functioning applications based in a browser.
With the exception of the November residential weekend, which will take place online, all Residentials will take place at The Hayes Conference Centre, DE55 1AU. The nearest train stations are Alfreton or Derby and there is plenty of parking at the centre, too.
You will receive an email roughly two weeks prior to the residential taking place with all the details of the weekend. Generally speaking, a residential weekend will begin at 5pm, with arrivals from 3pm and finish by 1pm. There will be an introduction to residentials at the September weekend with Russell at 4.15pm. The residential week has arrivals from 1pm, starting at 3pm, and finishes at 1pm.
Residentials take place with ordinands and Caleb stream students from across all centres, with students sharing rooms with another student- normally from within your centre/formation group.
You will have a desk or table to sit at in all of your lectures, so it’s up to you if you would like to bring a laptop or pen & paper for note taking, or just listen!
Ordinand retreats will be taking place the weekend of 28th February – 2nd March 2025. We will send out a retreat booklet which has details of all the different retreat options for you to attend around December 2024. You will fill in a form to indicate your preferences and these will be allocated with the aim that no one receives below their 3rd choice. The retreat options offer a range of styles of worship & retreat, at centres in various locations around the country and with different people leading at each.
Please note: only first year Ordinands attend retreats.
Yes, we have points in all our teaching rooms for your computers and mobile devices should you need to charge them. If you're bringing a computer or tablet to take notes in lectures, please try and make sure it's fully charged before you arrive at college.
Please let your centre coordinator know if you have a dietary requirement or allergy that we should be made aware of. There will be different points where you will be asked for these again e.g. when attending a residential, retreat or other event. Please don’t assume we already know!
If you would like to sign up to study a Biblical Language, you can do so via this form. Greek classes will take place online via Zoom at 10:00am Wednesday mornings, and Hebrew classes online via Zoom at 10:00am Friday mornings. The sessions will consist of 45 minutes of teaching with 15 minutes of optional time to talk to the tutor. These lessons start the first week of term, so if you're interested sign up before 16th September. You may try out the classes for the first three weeks before making a decision to take a biblical language for credit if your academic pathway allows it (otherwise you may audit the classes). Please email Narges.Bagherabadi@stmellitus.ac.uk for any difficulties or questions.
Please note: The availability of the course depends on the sign-up numbers so we will be in touch in due course if you do sign up. In weekly emails at the start of term you’ll be able to sign up to a biblical language.
Your formation tutor is the best person to speak to about your pathway. You should be able to find information about your pathway on Moodle in the programmes section of the handbook.
If you have non-academic questions about your pathway such as, “what modules I am doing this year?” you can email Narges Bagherabadi, but for any academic-related questions, please speak to your formation tutor.
*Details are given in the induction session in October
For any Moodle-related problems, please email Narges Bagherabadi
