How will this program help me?

The Undergraduate Peer Mentoring Program will help you to:

  • meet other new students studying in the same courses as you
  • get advice and guidance from a senior student who becomes your mentor for the first 3 weeks of semester
  • take part in free Faculty-sponsored social activities with fellow students
  • build networks to support and encourage each other and share information
  • make the most of your experience of university life
  • an online forum is provided so you can stay in regular contact with others in the program

What will my mentor do?

Your mentor will be a more senior student who will help you to settle in by:

  • giving you information about all the services on campus (e.g. using your university email account, buying second-hand books, finding a place on campus to eat, using the bus service, and lots more)
  • helping you with study-related questions (e.g. information on specific classes, using the library, how to get academic assistance, etc.)
  • organising mentoring group activities and introducing you to other students
  • inviting you to social events
  • giving you general information about life in Sydney
  • providing a "sounding board" - someone you can talk to about your experiences and studies

Your mentor will not:

  • be your tutor
  • give you academic advice

What am I committing to?
