Frequently Asked Questions

Students from 200 level to 600 level are eligible to apply as mentors.

Students from 100 level to 500 level can apply as mentees.

Mentors may mentor any level below their own.

For example:

• A 200-level student may mentor a 100-level student.
• A 300-level student may mentor 100-level or 200-level students.
